Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug Cutting Food Box
Customer Review: Everybody loves this toy
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this as a Christmas gift for our 18 month old since he loves to watch us cook. We also bought the M&D pots and pans set. He loves it and plays with it all the time. Until this toy he really didn't play with many of his toys. He would pull out my glass bowls and pans from the cabinets!
I wish it did have another knife because all of his cousins from 14 months to 4 years love this toy. And one night when he hid his knife Mom, Dad and uncle stayed up an extra hour to look for it!
Adults love to play with it with the kids too.
Paint does chip off occasional, but I would still consider it durable. Especially considering the amount of use and abuse it receives.
I only wish it weren't made in China.
I would definitely recommend this toy and have!
Customer Review: Great Fun Toy!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my daughter when she was 12 months old and is still around a year later. She started tearing the pieces apart by hand and is now learning how to cut with it. This toy definitely helps with hand eye coordination. The velcro will wear over time but that just shows how much the kids use it. My only suggestion is to make sure the kids keep the set in the box and learn how to put it away in a certain area every time so the pieces don't get lost. My daughter is almost two and puts the cut pieces in the box and is slowly learning how to put the box away on her shelf when she is done or before she takes another toy. This is a better buy than any plastic food toy. Also check around some retail stores such as Ross or Marshall's. They sell these toys for a cheaper price!Customer Review: Great concept!

This is a great concept. All of the pieces are wood, nicely sanded and painted with no sharp edges. There are fruits, veggies, and bread, pre-sliced and reattached with velcro. The child takes a wooden knife and "cuts" the pieces apart. It even has a little cutting board. The pretend play that happens with this toy is fun to watch. There's the element of shopping for the foods, preparing the foods, serving the foods. And, one of my favorite parts, is that this toy is stored in its own box, and all the pieces fit into it easily!I highly recommend this toy for 3 year olds, although it's perfectly safe for younger children. THe only reason I didn't give it five stars for durability is that a few of the velcro pieces came unglued and I had to reglue them. No big deal.
Customer Review: Super toy - good for learning and for fun
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a gift from Grandma for our 18 month old. Our daughter figured out how to cut a few months later. It's perfect for age two and up. She loves to cut up all the fruits, veggies, and bread. It comes with two cutting boards and two knives so a friend can play along too. It keeps her entertained for a long time and, as others have mentioned, teaches her the names of a few fruits and veggies along the way. Everything comes in a nice wooden box with a slide-on lid, which is great for storing all the pieces and for the fun of "in and out" of the box. My only complaint is that the velcro stickers which hold the pieces together are not compeletly durable. I've reglued a few of them, which has been no big deal to do. Overall a great toy, well priced, and nicely made.Customer Review: Another triumph by Melissa and Doug!
Summary: 5 Stars
Anyone who owns any Melissa and Doug toys knows that they are educational, fun and DURABLE! This cooking set is no exception. Kids love to "cook", and this is a great way for them to do it. It can be a super-helpful toy if Mom or Dad needs a minute to cook dinner and wants to occupy the children and keep them out from underfoot while they do it.... set them up at the table and let them "cook" their own dish! Heck, even let them throw it in a bowl and "serve" it with dinner.
These toys are so worth the cost... which is relatively cheap, if you think about the fact that these will never break and they'll be played with for much longer than other cheap plastic toys. Treat your kids to this great playset made with quality long-lasting materials. Wonderful!
