About this item
HEALTHY PRETEND PLAY: Melissa & Doug Food Groups Wooden Play Food is a sturdy wooden food set that features items from the five food groups for healthy pretend play. It includes watermelon, corn, milk, cheese, fish, eggs, and more.
FUN AND EDUCATIONAL: This play food for kids set helps children plan a well-balanced meal. It helps introduce the basics of nutrition, and can be used to teach early number skills, color recognition, sorting, and grouping. Packaging may vary
EASY TO STORE: Four wooden crates are included to sort the food into groups - dairy, produce (for fruits and vegetables), grains, and meat and fish. Kids can also sort by color or use the crates to combine foods to serve up pretend-play meals.
GREAT GIFT FOR AGES 3 AND UP: The Food Groups Wooden Play Food set makes a great gift for kids ages 2 to 5. The Melissa & Doug Play-Time Produce and Vegetables Play Food set is a great accompaniment.
“THE GOLD STANDARD IN CHILDHOOD PLAY”: For more than 30 years, Melissa & Doug has created beautifully designed imagination- and creativity-sparking products that NBC News called “the gold standard in early childhood play.”

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, there’s a few pieces with unfinished wood, including the bread. Raw wood is less play-friendly so I try to avoid it with the little one’s toys.
Overall, a good purchase. The kiddo is enjoying them.

Pros:
-Healthy food groups: I gravitated toward this set because many others have things like French fries, pizza and deserts. I prefer my son play with healthy foods because I think it helps him get excited about eating them. It's hard to play with an ice cream cone and then have your mom serve you up broccoli.
-Boxes: I like that the food comes in the cute little crates. We talk about the various food groups as we separate it. It also helps him clean up and organize.
-Wood: I tend to buy wood toys over plastic because of the health risks of plastic (although I'm not sure about the paint on these). They also just look better and last longer.
Cons:
-Chipping: I have had a couple items chip. The hamburger bun arrived with a little paint missing, not enough to make me send it back, but it was definitely there. The paint does chip off if things are banged together or dropped.
-Heavy: These are obviously heavier than plastic. If they are thrown it can hurt or damage floors/walls/furniture.
Overall, I would buy these again. My son plays with them in his little kitchen daily along with the M & D sandwich making set.
