Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug Slice and Bake Cookie Set

Customer Review: Not recalled here, but probably should've been!
Summary: 1 Stars

The background: I bought this cookie set at a toy sale - it was new in it's packaging. Just by chance I came home and read the reviews before I opened it. I saw the information on the toy being recalled in Canada because of excess chemicals in the paint. I was concerned, so I contacted the head of the toy sale. She in turn, called Melissa and Doug, and of course they said the toys were from different runs (produced in China) and that there was nothing to worry about. I was skeptical, but accepted the answer. After all, I've always trusted Melissa and Doug toys??? Well, when I finally did open the toy (a week later) the smell of the paint was so overwhelming that it made me nauseous. I took everything but the open mitt and the tube that you store the cookies in (the only items that are NOT wood and NOT painted) and put the wooden pieces in a bag and set them outside. Three days later and they still smell horribly. I know what Melissa and Doug are claiming... that the paint is safe "according to US regulations"... but if a toy makes you nauseous with it's off-gassing of overseas non-regulated application of CHEAP paint??? It is simply not right to give a toy like this to your children. Especially a toy that is a "play food" item and there is a chance they will put it in their mouths. I don't car how "cute" or "clever" it might be! That is the last toy I'll buy from Melissa and Doug.

Description of Melissa & Doug Slice and Bake Cookie Set

This colorful wooden set includes 12 wooden, sliceable cookies and 12 toppings, wooden knife, spatula, cookie sheet and a kitchen mitt for safe, "low-calorie" play! The cookies store in a durable dough tube.
Young children naturally love to pretend they're doing "grown-up" things -- it's a fun and important part of childhood development. The Melissa & Doug Wooden Slice and Bake Cookie Set lets children ages three and up pretend to bake, decorate, and serve cookies, all while practicing fine motor skills, learning number concepts, and more. The set includes a dozen wooden cookies, a dozen wooden decorating pieces, and toy wooden kitchen utensils.

Bake Up Something Good
The Slice and Bake Cookie Set features a dozen cookies that are packaged in a cardboard tube that looks just like a tube of cookie dough from the grocery store. Because they're held together with Velcro, the cookies slide out in one piece. Use the wooden toy knife to "slice" the cookies apart -- the Velcro makes a satisfying slicing sound when it separates.

The child can then place the cookies on the cookie sheet and pretend the cookies are baking, making sure to hold the "hot" cookie sheet with the oven mitt once they're done. (Note that the toy kitchen utensils are not meant for use with real food or with real kitchen appliances.)

Once the cookies are done baking, it's decorating time! The 12 "vanilla" and "chocolate" frosting pieces attach to the cookies with Velcro. They are painted with different, yummy looking sprinkles, candy pieces, and icing patterns, so your child can create a variety of different looking cookies. After the decorating is done, your child can serve them up with the included wooden toy spatula.

Perfect for preschool-age children, this toy not only offers plenty of opportunity for imaginary play, it also helps small kids exercise their motor skills. Our preschool-age tester found it challenging, yet fun, to slice the cookies apart. And while our toy tester enjoyed playing with it independently, this toy makes a great parent-and-child activity, too.

Adults can place custom orders for cookies, play counting and matching games, and more. If you're at a loss for ideas, Melissa & Doug includes interactive play ideas on the back of the cookie sheet that help you encourage your child to learn while she plays.

Sturdy, High-Quality Construction
The Slice and Bake Cookie Set definitely has plenty of pieces, so we were glad to find that the cardboard tube is big enough to contain both the cookies and the toppings, making cleanup and organization much easier. We also love the toy's sturdy wooden construction that's built for plenty of rough play. And as with all of their products, Melissa & Doug states that this toy is made with non-toxic coatings and meets or exceeds US toy testing standards.
