Product Description

 2 YR OLD LOVES August 31, 2010

My daughter received this for her 2nd birthday...she LOVES it!!! I think this is good for her fine motor skills working on using the knife.
 I give up... August 27, 2010

People all say they love this toy. I bought it about 1.5 years ago. I have tried to like it, as my daughter got older I hoped my feelings about it would improve, but they haven't (She is 4 and my son is 18 months). It is cute and maybe for an older child who likes puzzles it would be great, but the way that it has to be put together is not easy for a small child. Some pieces have two sides of the same type of velcro and if you misplace those, the rest of the pieces are useless. It also makes it hard for little ones to get it together correctly. My kids do enjoy playing with the little pieces, so it hasn't been a total waste, but I always end up having to put them back together and search for the parts all over the house. I feel similarly about the sandwich kit. The cookies and the cake are great. I also have the 4 food groups and I wish I had ordered two of those instead of this.
Best toy for ages 18 months and up August 25, 2010

My daughter loves it, and it is the first toy she goes to instantly. Great for developing fine motor skills,to learn colors, fruit/vegetables, and even putting "sandwiches" together. Highly recommend, a favorite in out house!
My 3 year old loves it! August 7, 2010

We got this for our 3 year old last Christmas. It has had a ton of use since then, and I enthusiastically recommend the cutting food box to other parents! Pieces are painted pretty bright colors and they are sturdy. My daughter and I especially love the satisfying "crunch" noise made when you "slice" the pieces apart with the wooden knife. Putting them all back together again is fun, too. The storage box is an added bonus, however, it would be even better if there was some kind of lid on the top. All-in-all, the set is great value for money! Oh, one more thing: you may look at this and think "my kid is too old/will get bored with this - it's too simple to hold his/her attention." Nope. I had the same concern - that it would not hold the interest of my 3 year old. In fact, it's the simplicity of the set and refreshing lack of gimmicks that make this (and other Melissa & Doug toys) so wonderful for toddlers and preschoolers. Buy it!
Lots of fun for hours August 7, 2010

My little one, 21mo old, loves this toy. She is learning to count and we count the pieces as we cut them. She loves to cut the food and then pretend to eat it. It was one of the first real pretend play moments I observed. I watch a four year old little girl and it was her favorite toy too. I know that this toy will grow with my little one as she does. It is so nice I was shocked at how inexpensive it was. The food is good size and the cutting board looks like mine. A wonderful toy that I know will be fun for years to come.
