Overall happy with them!
The media could not be loaded. Cute, solid, good size, and vibrant. I also like the little wooden crates that the pieces come in. These seem pricy but when you actually compare closely to other options, it’s not bad for how many pieces and the quality you’re getting.A few downsides: some of the pieces are less detailed than others. For example, the orange is literally just an orange ball, vs the cheese which has some character. Also, there’s a few pieces with unfinished wood, including the bread. Raw wood is less play-friendly so I try to avoid it with the little one’s toys.Overall, a good purchase. The kiddo is enjoying them.

Great STEM toy
Melissa & Doug make great items for all ages of children, and so many of them are excellent STEM learning tools. These four little crates of assorted foods are well made, and my little grandson loves them.He is learning colors, shapes, placing different items in different crates, and names of foods. I can make it a game for him while he is learning.Love these wooden play food sets. I trust items from Melissa & Doug.Highly recommend.

Cute!
We got these to go along with the Fresh Mart store to add some filler to the shelves. The pieces are of nice, heavy wood and the storage boxes look adorable in the store as well! My daughter and goddaughter go crazy to play pretend with these toys! My only issue with the set would be the slices of sandwich bread are unfinished wood, very rough.

Perfect addition to the Play Kitchen
I got rid of all the plastic, flimsy, or broken play food and changed it to wooden play food. Something easier to clean and more durable. With a 2 year old and 5 year old we need something that will last us time but also abuse from them and their friend thats here often. They love to play chef, house or restruant. These are a perfect addition to our play kitchen. Durable, fun colors, relastic, strudy, great value for the price. My friend was impressed she ended up getting some for her son. So glad I found these and the kiddos love them.

Love this wooden set of play food. It’s durable for the littles and keeps him busy while I’m doing dishes or making dinner. The wood crates to store are an added bonus 😊
