My daughter has absolutely loved this toy since she was two. Her friends love it so much when they come over that their mom's request it for their birthdays. It keeps them entertained for hours and the toy is so durable. When my daughter's little friend opened this toy she said, "Oh, I have to go thank her for my present!"

Product review of Cutting Food Box
Posted yesterday by A mom
Rating:
My daughter loves it! She likes the cuttable food better than the plastic because it seems more real to her. I love watching her "cook" her food. I love the sturdy wood and quality of the product. I have never been disappointed with Doug and Melissa products!

this is exactly what my granddaughter needs for her sign language development and the cutting board foods will hopefully help her gross and fine motor development

My 2 1/2 year old son absolutely loves this toy. He loves the sound it makes when he is cutting into the food. It is a fun way for him to work on his fine motor skills.
Just a wonderful toy

My friend had this food box and my 22 year old son enjoyed it so much. He spend over an hour non stop playing with it. We ordered this and he loves it and has been playing it every day. Only the thing I have to 4 star is that the kit my friend has came with another set of knife and cutting board and it had a plastic board to close the the box for storage. The missing knife is serrated, so it actually help to cut better for a younger kid like mine. I understand that this toy is meant for over 3 years old. But, I really wished that they offered the additional knife and the storage design option even with a higher price. Otherwise, it is a great toy.

Our little toddler loves this toy! He loves to mimic what we are doing in the kitchen, and he can do this in a safe and satisfying way with this toy. It is an added bonus that the veggies are very fun to roll! A great addition to our wooden toy kitchen.

My 2 1/2 year old is having fun serving us meals. She has a little trouble getting the food lined up correctly, but once she does she has a blast "cutting" it with the knife. She likes being able to cut food, just like the adults do! It is a lot of small pieces, so we just have to be good about keeping up with all the parts. That's probably the hardest part.

My 2 year old daughter loves to cut the fruit, vegetables & bread. I like that the fruits & vegetables are large and that they have multiple pieces to each one as I've seen other fruit that only cuts in half. Now if I could only get her to eat her vegetables.

Bought it for my son who is only 9 months old with the intention of saving it until he is older. But I can't keep my hands off it! My son loves to pull the pieces apart. He's still too little to cut the pieces apart. I've seen this in the best preschools. Even older children were playing with this. I absolutely love this product. I would recommend it to anyone who has toddlers.

Melissa & Doug's Cutting Food Box was a hit with our 3 year old. He loves to "cook" for us and slice the various foods included in the set. He hasn't mastered putting the foods back together yet but I'm sure that will come with time.

I had first seen the Cutting Food Box at a playgroup gathering. I loved it! I had never seen anything else like it. I was mostly impressed with how realistic it sounded and felt when cutting. It is a perfect toy for the child that has to be in the kitchen doing what you're doing. So I had to get one to share as a gift for a friend!

Melissa & Doug's Cutting Food Box is a nice alternative to platstic food toys. It comes in a nice wooden crate with knife and cutting board along with a variety of fruits, veggies, and bread for cutting. The velcro between slices making for a realistic cutting sound. High quality materials, made well, and I'm sure will last through many more toddler chefs!

This is a great product because it is one that grows as your children grow. When my kids were babies, they enjoyed separating the Velcro food with their hands. A bit later, they enjoyed cutting it with the knife. Now, they enjoy cutting it and putting the pieces together in different ways. They also use the fruit in their pretend play. The food is well made and the Velcro has withstood years of play. This toy encourages creativity, is versatile, well made, and affordable. It is one of my favorite gifts to give to my friends with kids.

I love the wooden food that you can pretend to cut. My grandson found an old set of my girls and loves it. Most of the pieces have been lost so for Christmas I thought I would get him his own set. The price was just right.

This toy is labeled for ages 3+, because of small parts (like the carrots), but my daughter is 28 months old and into pretend play. She enjoys making "apple soup" on her pretend stove. Kids her age may have trouble getting the correct sides of the velcro to match up without adult help. Nevertheless, cutting/taking the pieces apart seem to be the main focus. I saw the suggestion that this set would be good for teaching fractions at an older age.

This product is extremely well made. The cutting aspect has taught them coordination, as well as how to use their imagination. The only toys they want to play with are those from Melissa and Doug. Their other favorites were the Pizza Party, Birthday Party and the Play Food Set. They all certainly illicit creativity and have also taught them to share. They are sturdy and should last. Great stuff.

This is the greatest toy ever. It is durable (solid wood) and very high quality. My 3 year old and my 1 year old love to play with the pieces. I have to put them back together at this age, but who cares? It still occupies them for 10-15 minutes at a time. I despise the garbage 200 piece-type cardboard play food items. It's just more junk to throw away. This one is less pieces to trip over that actually hold their interest.

The Cutting Food Box toy is the perfect toy. I have 2 kids, ages 4 & 9, and both kids love this toy. The way the food makes sounds when the food is cut amazes my son (4). My daughter (9) loves to play with him and helps him make different meals with the food. This toy has kept them busy playing together even with a 5 year age difference.

This toy is fabulous. Both my 4 year old son and 2 year old daughter can't get enough of it. There are so many pieces to keep them busy putting together and cutting apart. The chopping sound is so realistic, too, so they really feel like they are doing the same thing as Mommy in the kitchen. I highly recommend this toy!

These sturdy vegetables, fruits, and breads are a great addition to any play kitchen (or real one) where your young child likes to help out! My young son likes to chop his veggies and make his own soup in his play kitchen with these. As always, Melissa & Doug have created very high-quality, sturdy, beautiful, and unique toys that everyone can admire. The velcro between the parts makes for easy "cutting" and easy re-attachment, and the cutting board and "knife" are fun to use! They included a great variety of foods.

My son is 13 months old. The coordination to "cut" the food is not quite there, unless I get him started. Still, he loves putting the food in its crate and taking it out again, and pulling it apart with his hands. This keeps him occupied in the kitchen long enough for me to prepare dinner!

This is such a fun toy for children who are at the age where they want to imitate all the fun things Mom and Dad get to do! I love the how realistic it sounds when you "cut" through the pieces of food. It is a well-made product that is a lot of fun for all ages!

My 2 year old son received this for his birthday and loves it. It is his favorite thing to do. He can cut the food over and over for quite a period of time. The food is high quality and is pretty easy for even this age of a child to do even though the recommended age is 3+. I'm going to get him the Sandwich Set next since he enjoys cutting so much. My husband tells everyone about this toy, he especially likes how the cutting sounds just like you are cutting real vegetables.
Very Rewarding!

This toy is very rewarding to little children who love to pretend play. My children love to play with their pretend kitchen and I try to keep pretend foods that are like the foods that I normally feed our family. This set gives them a chance to explore the action of cutting on foods that mimick the ones we normally eat. The sound of the cutting action is very satisfying and I even have fun pretending along with them! I like the fact that the velcro pieces make this item a puzzle also. Stick the items back together in a random pattern and you might end up with silly brapermellon (bread + watermelon) or maybe teppers (tomato + bell pepper)! This usually elicits peels of laughter and the kids have fun making up silly names for the "new" foods they create! Or they can correctly fit the pieces together and be praised for doing so. We really like this toy and it has a very solid feel that tells me it might be around for my kid's kids.

We got this toy for our son's 3rd birthday after he was fascinated by it as a friend's house. It is much higher quality than the typical plastic food for kitchen sets and allows your child to cut food and assemble sandwiches and other meals that stick together with velcro.

This is the coolest thing I've seen for a kid who likes to pretend to cook. The pieces stick together with velcro and when you "cut" through them with the wooden knife they make a crunching sound. My two year old son loves it. When he woke up the morning after we gave it to him, he ran to it yelling, "cook, cook". Unfortunately, his attention span is still a bit short and he ends up throwing the pieces everywhere after he cuts everything up. I would maybe recommend it for a little older child. This is a truly great toy.

My 2 year old daughter loves this toy. It is easy for her to "cut" the food and to put it back together. I also appreciate that there is no meat in this box, as I am a vegetarian. I am worried that the velcro that holds the pieces of food together will wear out over time and that I won't be able to replace it. However, for now, this is great!

My son, 2 years old, has used this product at a local play center. It is a great product and I would highly recommend it to any child who loves to play in the kitchen. It was tough to cut at first, but after a few uses the pieces are coming apart much easier. I only wish there was a lid on the product.

Wonderful product! Our 2 year old grandaughter is learning how to safely cut with the wooden knife provided on the cutting board also included in the set. The already-cut, velcro-ed foods and breads are developmentally graded for increasing challenge to her growing mastery. She caught on right away and keeps saying "again!" as she finishes one piece after another. She loves it! Nice design, recognizable foods, and great skill-building. And, when she's finished, she puts them back into the wooden box for the next time.

My 2 year old daughter got this as a gift for Christmas. She loves it so much that I bought it for her 2 year old friend's birthday. When she opened the cutting food box at the party, she sat there and played with it for about 20 minutes even though all the other kids where running around. Her mom said she couldn't wait to see it in the morning and had a hard time getting her to breakfast. My daughter is the same way. There is something fascinating to children to be able to cut food like their parents. The velcro sticks together well, but is loose enough that a 2 year old has no problem cutting through it over and over again.
