Description
This wooden play food set features a wooden knife and seven pieces of sliceable fruit that can be cut into a total of seventeen pieces! Held together with self-stick tabs, the food makes a fun and satisfying "CRUNCH" sound when sliced. With so many pieces, it's also a great way to introduce counting and the concepts of part, whole, and fractions!

Doesn't last
March 27, 2022
The velcro is too weak for the wooden objects. After 1 month of occasional and supervised use, the vegetables no longer stay together and several velcro pieces are missing. My biggest problem however is storage. Surely some type of cover or way to contain the pieces should be included. Very disappointed.

A hit with my 1.5 year old
March 24, 2022
I got this for my daughter when she was a 1.5. She absolutely loved it and would take it with her to every room to practice cutting. I rotated it at 26 months and she still loves it

Love the concept but left disappointed in the quality. The fruit is cracking and the paint is peeling after two months of occasional play.

Love everything about the set love the fact that it's wooden The only thing that I would change is some of the Velcro on this product wasn't very secured when you put it back together I'm not sure if it was just in default in the product but that would be the only thing that I would change

I bought this for my little great granddaughter she got a new play kitchen set for Christmas and she had the vegetables that she can cut up that's why I thought sending her the assortment of fruit would go great with her other set she loves it

I purchased this for my friends three year old for Christmas. He absolutely loved it! He plays with it in his little play house. His parents were pleased that I selected a Melissa and Doug item because they love the idea of no plastic, as I do! Awsome gift.

My grandson enjoys 'cutting' up the fruit to make fruit 'salad'. The wood knife is a perfect size and the velcro helps to simulate actual cutting.

not quality
October 9, 2021
I don't understand why this is still on the market. I have toys that have lasted 30 years and share with other grandmothers for visits with their grandkids. After a few months, the paint started chipping. One piece was replaced but the others are seriously chipping and the velcro is not working on several pieces. I called and was told I purchased it too long ago. A year and a half. This is going to the landfill unfortunately.

Great puzzle to promote color and shape recognition!
September 20, 2021
This is a great puzzle. My 15 month can put the pieces together and it's a great way to talk about colors and shapes. My only complaint is I received a slightly damaged board when ordering it online so it's hard to put the circle piece in and the corner of the board looks smashed 😢

I bought this to add to grandma's play food stash. Our 3 year old grandson loved cutting the food up over and over again! He was a little puzzled at first if the opening was not big enough to fit the wooden knife blade, but he quickly figured it out. A great toy!

Two year old kid loves it, gets him to stay put and play for half an hour atleast. The sound of the velcro gives it a realistic chopping sound.
I also like that it's made of wood.

Fun but not super durable
April 19, 2021
My daughter loves loves loves this kit! It's colorful and fun. Unfortunately, I want to echo one of the reviews below that the velcro starts to fail after a few weeks of use, especially on the melon and the banana. The paint also starts to crack and peel after a while, which makes it unusable because I worry about my toddler eating the pieces.

I loved this set at first. Very entertaining for my child. Child loves the kiwi and cutting the fruits. Unfortunately the melon and banana don't stick well after a while. The velcro is pretty much not working and is to small to even keep it together.

Among their favorite go-to toys at my house

These are MY favorite as well as my grandkids. Who doesn't like cutting up the realistic fruit? We have the veggie and bread set too. Makes for long play sessions of make believe and serving us food. I store mine in the original crate in a case made for scrapbooking. I think they learned what a kiwi and a lemon were from this set. Well made. Durable.

Fun toy but paint chips
July 25, 2020
My 2 year old daughter loves to play with this set. She intentionally pulls it out and "cuts" the fruit everyday since she received it a month ago. However, within a couple uses, the paint began to chip along the middle of the fruit. Obviously, as a 2 year old, her precision isn't 100% and the knife rubs against the surface as she's trying to "cut" the fruits in half, but I'm surprised they're not more durable.
