Melissa & DougWooden Cutting Fruit, Pretend Play, Play Food, Age 3+, Multicolor, 30 x 28 x 5 cm

I got these on a prime deal for £7 something and it’s worth every penny.My boys love them, as they are wood they don’t wear well and as we all know boys aren’t as careful and these get thrown, dropped and mixed around with all the toy cars in the world,They’ve been Driven over by scooters and cooked up in metal pans but they are well loved and still standing. The Velcro is still as good as day one but they’re covered in dents and scrapes.

The media could not be loaded. Wow! What great quality and such a good idea!I gave it my daughter for Christmas and she loves it! She plays with it everyday and has very quickly improved her dexterity skills when holding the knife and the chopping action. (I’ve added a lift video of her playing with it when she first got it).It’s great quality wood and such a good idea! I’ve already bought the pizza set for her birthday! She’ll be 2 years old, so even though the set recommends from 3yrs +, (I took a risk as she’s quite advanced for her age) and it’s really helping her develop her dexterity skills.I would highly recommend this set and the “Melissa and Dough” series. Their products are fantastic quality, great value and my daughter loves them!Thanks Amazon for the great deal and great product description! :)

This is a lovely toy with lots of useful play functions, including:1. Sorting - sort the fruit by colour, by size, by favourites: great for young toddlers2. Teaching fractions - half a fruit, a quarter of a fruit: this is great for pre-schoolers3. Pretend play - for a teddy bear's picnic, or with a play kitchen - great for all agesTherefore although they say 3+ on them, our 14 month old already loves them and I think they have great longevity in them. They are well made and they can be stored in the wooden crate box they come in. A lovely toy.

I love this! I bought this for my two year old because I thought it looked fun and I would have loved it when I was little - I also thought it would make her understand about her food and eat fruit and veg. She does love it and it is easy enough for her to use as the fruit is chunky and splits quite easily with the little knife. The knife isn't any where near sharp but I always supervise her just in case. I think that she will grow into it as a toy but likes playing shop etc with it at the moment. I think that these are beautiful toys but still very robust as my daughter is NOT delicate! I liked it so much I bought the sandwich making set which is soooo cute as well.

These are nice cutting sets from Melissa and Doug, a really clever idea as the pieces are stuck together with velcro and they come with a knife so children can cut pieces off. We ended up with another of these sets that features bread and vegetables to cut and is actually much better than this set. It contains 8 items to cut whereas this only has 7, and it also comes with a wooden board whereas this doesn't.So if you're looking at a set like this then I would recommend the other 8 piece set as they are similarly priced. Otherwise my daughter has had lots of fun with these and they're great for developing cutting skills!I'm a mum of two who does lots of research and relies on reviews to help me choose the best products for my family.

What a great buy! Thank you too Amazon people for prompt delivery. My 1 year old grandson simply loved receiving this for his birthday! He has taken a shine to kiwi fruit especially and plays with all but the kiwi halves are his favourite! He must think it is the most realistic as he just keeps chewing and sucking on them. After a week has passed there is still no sign of chipping or losing parts into his mouth! I loved the excellent quality of this toy and the neat wooden box (crate) it arrived in which makes for easy sorting and storage which also teaches his to pack-away! Since the first day of opening this sturdy gift he now plays with it in many different ways. First day was mostly tasting and gnawing at the kiwi fruit. It was really good value for money too!

Really high quality product and well worth the money. It seemed expensive, but when I compare it to the quality of other play food I've seen around, you get what you pay for. My son (2 1/4) loves fruit and has enjoyed cutting it, arranging it, serving it, cooking it, and 'washing' it in his little play kitchen sink. It has prompted lots of describing food - naming, size, shape, colour, taste. We also bought the pizza party and food group sets, and have found these equally well made and appealing. I think these will last the test of time; not sure abut the laminate floor though.

Very happy with a sturdy, smooth, colourful, fun product.
