Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug Food Groups
Customer Review: Nice Play Food
Summary: 5 Stars
I got these for my 2 1/2 year old son. We've had these for several weeks and I have had no problems with them. No paint has chipped off (which I keep checking for since several reviews mention chipped paint) and I am very surprised the little wooden crates are still intact.
My only complaint is regarding the orange. It's just a wooden ball painted orange. It doesn't have a texture nor does it have any detail that would mark it as an orange. The Tomato is a similar shape but has the leafy detail to distinguish it. Many times my son simply calls it a ball or an orange ball. True, the recommended age is a few months older than he is, but he does know most of the other fruits and veggies in the set and this one isn't detailed enough, in my opinion.
The sizes are smaller than life size, so if you're looking for life sized pretend food this is probably not for you. I haven't had an issue with the smaller size since it makes it perfect for his little hands and, aside from the orange, they are detailed enough that there is no mistaking what they are.
Many of the other reviewers also mentioned that they are dangerous/not appropriate for their children. Most of them also mentioned the age of their child being way under the suggested age. It clearly states that it's for 3 year olds and older. The solid wooden pieces are definitely dangerous for kids who still throw stuff or drop stuff constantly. And if your child still puts things in their mouths constantly, then I am sure the paint will chip off much quicker.
