Melissa & Doug Food Groups - 21 Hand-Painted Wooden Pieces and 4 Crates

This kids’ food toy set is really great. I love that it’s made of wood — that’s a big plus for durability and safety. The set includes a wide variety of items: meat, fish, dairy products, and vegetables, so it’s perfect for imaginative play and learning about food. Everything is well made, sturdy, and looks nice. The quality is very good, with smooth surfaces and pleasant colors. A special highlight is the wooden boxes — they make play more realistic and also help with storage and organization. For such a large and diverse wooden set, the price is very reasonable. Overall, a high-quality, educational toy that kids really enjoy

Amazing quality, must have toys for your kids!

Great toy for leaning colors, shapes, sizes and sortng into the four wooden baskets is fun., great quality and easy to clean.

My preschool class has so much fun making meals for each other and their teacher! Durable, realistic looking food. They are educationally valuable, easy to cut and reassemble. Great price!

All Melissa and Doug products are high quality with peace of mind that it's guaranteed to be non toxic for the littles that have to put everything in their mouth! Always easy to use, clean and so special for playtime! Always a keeper!

Melissa and Doug toys are high quality and amazing products. They last so long and we have so many of these sets. My kiddos lose them easily which is why we have so many. I won’t ever buy another brand!

I have had this set for over a year and we're generally pretty happy with it. Here's a list of what we have discovered we like and don't like: Pros: -Healthy food groups: I gravitated toward this set because many others have things like French fries, pizza and deserts. I prefer my son play with healthy foods because I think it helps him get excited about eating them. It's hard to play with an ice cream cone and then have your mom serve you up broccoli. -Boxes: I like that the food comes in the cute little crates. We talk about the various food groups as we separate it. It also helps him clean up and organize. -Wood: I tend to buy wood toys over plastic because of the health risks of plastic (although I'm not sure about the paint on these). They also just look better and last longer. Cons: -Chipping: I have had a couple items chip. The hamburger bun arrived with a little paint missing, not enough to make me send it back, but it was definitely there. The paint does chip off if things are banged together or dropped. -Heavy: These are obviously heavier than plastic. If they are thrown it can hurt or damage floors/walls/furniture. Overall, I would buy these again. My son plays with them in his little kitchen daily along with the M & D sandwich making set.

Super cute, sturdy play food. My grandkids love playing with it. Melissa & Doug quality.
