Great quality and cute items
These are great for the new play kitchen we bought for our church. I love that they are wooden and easy to clean. They are good quality like all Melissa and Doug toys so I highly recommend to anyone to purchase these.

Best play food set!
I love the quality of this set and that there was finally a choice to fill my daughters play grocery store with healthy play foods instead of the cheap plastic junk foods. Thank you Melissa & Doug, always our favorites!

Overall happy with them!
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, itâs not bad for how many pieces and the quality youâre 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, thereâs a few pieces with unfinished wood, including the bread. Raw wood is less play-friendly so I try to avoid it with the little oneâs toys.Overall, a good purchase. The kiddo is enjoying them.

Good quality. Gift for two year old granddaughter. She loves them.
Stephanie –
High quality wooden toys
My toddler loves these toys for his play kitchen. I prefer the wood to plastic as they are nicely weighted and less likely to be smashed in our busy playroom! He seems less interested in trying to chew them versus plastic I would presume because they are hard.

They are solid wood and the paint is very good. Hard to chip if not impossible. Extremely well built and worth the money. They will last longer than any toy we bought
Lili Lopez –
Son muy lindos! Rosa mi familia los adora. Mi hija los puede aventar, morder y usar sin ningún problema. El diseño es hermoso. Los canastos dónde vienen si tienen un par de astillas que hay que quitar, pero el resto está excelente!

Molto carini, alcuni oggetti tipo l’arancia ed il pomodoro se lanciati potrebbero fare male perchè un pò pesanti, quindi li ho messi da parte finchè mia figlia è cresciuta un pò. Adesso ci gioca ancora, sono in legno e ben fatti, resistenti.

Schön gestaltetes, detailreiches und kindgerechtes Set für den Kaufladen oder die Spielküche mit vielen verschiedenen Sachen. Die Kids lieben es damit zu spielen. Seit etwas mehr als 1 Jahr täglich in Gebrauch (oder im Mund), aber bisher keine Probleme oder VerschleiÃ.Vor allem die kleinen Körbe sind perfekt für den Kaufladen.
