Description:
I love these products!
When I got my little on her kitchen, I was appalled at some of the items
that were in the play food toys. I
really didn’t want her to have “junk food” items to play with. I wanted her toys to reflect her healthy
diet. Melissa and Doug have solved that
problem!
Melissa and Doug Food groups
come in four wooden crates and
have with 21 pieces of food from all four food groups. The items are well made and the fruit
especially is beautifully painted. We
also have the Playtime Produce Fruit.

Assembly Time: No assembly required.
Value for Money: M&D Food Groups runs between $18 and $20
bucks. You can get the cheap plastic
sets for cheaper, but I am happy to pay a little extra for well made
items. I wanted to keep the “Junk Food”
like chips and soda out of her daily exposure.

Age Appropriateness: The box says age 3 to 6 years, however I
can see kids playing with these much longer than that.
Durability: The toy food is wooden and has held up
well so far. There has been no hint of
paint chipping or damage.
Educational Value: The four crates provide a great way to
work on sorting. I placed index cards in
the bottom of the crates and she place the food into the correct groups. The healthy options also prevent kids from
thinking that things like chips and soda are a normal part of diet. Keeping them out of the play room helps
enforce the idea that they occasional treats and not things that should always be
found in a kitchen.
