Variety of Food Will Inspire Even the Smallest Chef

Rating: 
This is a great set to get your little kitchen cookin'. My girls (3 and 18 mo.) love serving up meals with this sturdy set. I can tell it will last us a LONG time. I'll probably pack it away eventually and let my grandkids play with it! The set is colorful and easy to wipe clean. The little crates are fun for my girls to play with as well. The size of the set is perfect. It's big enough to inspire great cooking, but not so big that it's a pain in the neck to pick up all the pieces when they get dumped on the floor. (And they WILL get dumped on the floor!)

My two and a half year old loves this food for her kitchen. The colors are bright and I love how it teaches the four food groups by dividing the food into the four different crates. Excellent value as well. Overall very pleased!

This food set is great. The food is realistic and durable. The crates make it easy to move from room to room and keep organized!
Great toy for increasing "pretend" play

I bought this toy for my 2.5 year old daughter. She already knows the names of lots of food items but I wanted her to have this set to play with in her kitchen set and with grocery cart. She loves it! My husband and I have had so much fun with her "shopping" for groceries, "cooking" meals, and "feeding" her babies. The quality of the product is typical Melissa & Doug - EXCELLENT. I highly recommend this for anyone's child. I plan on getting other Melissa & Doug food sets soon.

My children enjoy imaginary play with all of the food groups sets purchased from fat brain toys. I will definitly purchase more of this type of toy in the future.

My 18 month old son seems to enjoy playing with these wooden food models. They have been a very good teaching tool to help him identify and name foods. He also likes to drop the round pieces in the group (tomato & orange) and watch them roll away and loves the loud sound they make hitting the wood floors! He also spends time stacking the wooden "crates" that the food groups are stored in.
I do wish the set was a little more accurate for teaching older toddlers about nutrition (i.e. the basic four food groups was changed to five over 15 years ago, and butter is not a member of the milk/dairy group), but this is still a great teaching tool for the littlest ones and a great playtime activity!
Very Pleased

My 15-month-old is having a blast with this product! I feel she will grow into this toy, but I am already pleased with the results. Also, Melissa and Doug coatings are safe. From an aesthetic point of view, they food is very cute (they might have tried harder with the orange, it is just an orange ball).

My daughter (19 months) LOVES this toy! She can entertain herself for hours each day feeding the "food" to her stuffed animals. She also loves to arrange and rearrange the foods. She can identify most of the foods and loves to practice saying the names aloud. We're pretty strict with her diet--since these toys are mostly healthy foods, she has eaten most of them and can personally identify better with them--unlike some of the other food toy sets that contain a lot of junk food like pizza and donuts.

My grandchildren love to play in their play kitchen. The Food Group set adds to their play enjoyment. It stands up to three children playing with them very well.

As always, being a Melissa and Doug product it is solid and a good product. Some of the food is not very realistic. The paint easily chips off. It is wood, not nasty rubber. Bright and cheery. Fun!

The Food Groups Set is AWESOME. Our son (22 months) went right to work -- we ordered these to go with his new play kitchen. He recognized just about everything on the first try, and has started calling the foods by name more and more. This is a great toy set for learning words. And the "foods" are all a safe size, brightly colored, and there's a great variety. My *one* critique would be of the toy orange. It's of a decent weight, and it looks an awful lot like a toy ball. It got launched across our kitchen a few times, and then it was put away for a bit. But I'm sure he'll love it when he gets it back....
Great Food Set!!

This is a great set of play food! My daughter loves them and they are very durable and not heavy! I like that they come in the 4 little baskets because that gives her a way to organize them and learn about nutrition! They are really cute!

My niece loved this toy. The pieces of food are engaging enough on their own, but the fact that they come in the little crates really makes this toy. My niece spent a lot of time sorting the pieces in the different crates. Educational and fun!

I am pleased with the Melissa and Doug food groups that we purchased for our 19 month old daughter's play kitchen. I was unhappy with our cheap plastic/cardboard play food that came with her kitchen and was looking for a more durable alternative. I think the quality of this product is great and would order from them again.

Melissa & Doug, Four Food Groups Wooden Play Food
Posted 1/15/2008 by Kim
Rating:
My daughter loves this play food. I like that there are healthy foods included and this set is pretty educational in that it can be used to learn how to categorize foods into the different food groups. I find it well made and it comes with four little wooden crates that are great for storing and sorting the foods. I didn't give it the highest rating only because the paint isn't perfect on a few pieces and the color has rubbed off onto adjacent pieces. Not that my daughter cares at all though, so it doesn't really detract from the play value.
Melissa and Doug Products are AWESOME!

My two-year-old LOVES her Food Group set. Many of the plastic food sets out on the market have nothing but junk food, so we opted for the more well-made and nutritious Melissa and Doug (M&D) food group set. This toy has helped facilitate discussions with my daughter about food groups and healthy eating. She also enjoys playing with the wooden foods in her kitchen. My daughter also has the "Cutting Food Box" and several M&D wood puzzles. She never seems to tire of them. M&D products are very well made and are excellent for toddler development!

This particular product has added a great deal to my grandchildren's creativity and imagination. As a former kindergarten teacher, I find it wonderful that the
items I bought for my kindergarten room are now available for my home. The products are very well produced and are colorful for the young child.

A great toy for the toddler/preschool boy or girl. Not only is this a fun toy, but it teaches a child about the different food groups as well as association within each food group.

I was disappointed to find that this toy was made in China. I ordered a Doug & Melissa toy specifically over going to a discount store in hopes for higher quality. It is a cute toy.

Our youngest picked out the set because of the chicken leg. I really like the wooden food from Melissa and Doug. We have another set of theirs and it is very nice. I highly recommend any of their products.

The Food Groups Set was a gift for a 1 year old and she absolutely loved them! Her mom really likes Melissa & Doug products. I knew it was good quality, but I was still surprised at how good. The recommended age is 3+, however, there were adults and kids playing with them. I would recommend them to all, boys or girls, and will be purchasing more Melissa & Doug items in the future.
Pretty good.

I bought this product based on the great reviews I found on the internet. I did not want a ton of food to clutter the house and I wanted something that would withstand two very active kids. The pieces are small and light weight and beautifully crafted.

Our two year old loves this toy. All of the pieces are easily recognizable and there are no rough edges or sharp bits although they are all satisfying heavy and make a loud noise when she drops them. The crates however are less well built which is why I only gave it four stars.
Great!

The food is wonderful, realistic and durable. The small wooden baskets are useful for organizing the food. The food is small enough for small hands, and my daughter just loves playing with all the food.

High quality wooden food toys. I used these in my gym class along with a physical activity to help teach the kids about the food groups and pyramid. Their durability is remarkable. The kids loved picking and identifying their favorite foods.

My 2 1/2 year old daughter loves the food groups set. I bought her a grocery cart and she loves to go "shopping" for her food. Once she "buys" her food, we separate it into food groups. She is really learning a lot and also of course having fun!
A Great Toy!

I really love the quality and cleverness of the Melissa and Doug products. It's nice to have some toys for my son to play with that don't move or make sounds on their own. Imagination is an invaluable commodity and these wooden toys really encourage creative play. Love them!

This product is great in the play kitchen. My 2 year old son and 3 1/2 year old daughter love playing with the food groups. I like the quality and size of this item as opposed to the tiny plastic pieces of other sets.

My 3 year old loves it. She loves to cook like daddy and to make dinner. The quality is great and the feel of it is so much better than some of the plastic stuff I've seen. These are wonderful additions to my daughter's playroom and will be able to withstand the abuse of a young child for years to come.
