Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug Wooden Sushi
Customer Review: Sushi chopping is so much fun!
Summary: 4 Stars
My child has a developmental disability, cerebral palsy. Finding any toy that is fun as well as possible for her to work with her spastic arms and hands has been very challenging. A friend gave us some spare Melissa & Doug's fruit pieces and a wooden knife from another set they had, and my girl absolutely loved chopping those pears and lemons in half!
She loves to eat sushi, so when I found this wooden play sushi set I was very excited! The box and its contents are gorgeous and clever. There are even little, pink felt pieces for the pickled ginger, and the chopsticks have opposing velcro so once the sushi is chopped into pieces you can pick them up and "eat" them!
The cleaver is a little sharp at the point, but it makes a satisfying "THWACK" when it is chopping, and sound effects are always appreciated in my house!
I and my girl Love This Toy!
My only complaint is that the white paint on some of the sushi rolls is starting to flake off after pretty minimal chopping. My guess is quality has gone down a bit in Melissa & Doug toy factory town. :-(
Thumbs Up, though, for a toy that is creative and different. And for being something a kid with minimal fine motor skills can still enjoy playing!!!!
Customer Review: My kid's friends and cousins begged for this set too!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is such a great toy for a wide variety of ages! Melissa and Doug toys are all around great toys anyway, durable and long-lasting, and ones my kids consistently play with. They don't end up at the bottom of the toy box like just about every other toy. This sushi set is awesome, the kids (ages 3 to 8) all love to pretend to make the sushi. The one thing they absolutely love in all the M & D cooking sets are the knives. They feel like such grown ups being able to slice and dice like real cooks. We also have the sandwich set and the cookie set. They really feel like they are really cooking.
The only thing I wish this set came with was serving trays or plates of some sort, and maybe some smaller components they could really roll sushi with - but it's still great without those. They play with all their Melissa and Doug food sets for hours. The cheap, fake plastic food no longer has a place in our house, the wooden Melissa & Doug food is the way to go!
Customer Review: BEST TOY EVER!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this toy, I saw it and had to buy it being a huge Sushi fan. Since kids bore of toys quickly at a young age, I only bring this toy with us out to sushi so my 15 month old daughter can play with the bento box and pretend nigiri and maki. It has a cover that slides on holding the pieces inside. She isnt old enough to pretend or pick up the pieces with the velcro chopsticks but in time she will. I have already given this as a gift too. Melissa and Doug make a few other designs but none as cool. The pizza set is cute but I am saving it until the baby is older since the pieces are smaller. There is also a birthday cake one and a breakfast one. I emailed the company asking for them to design more for each kind of restaurant!!
You wont be sorry if you buy this toy set, it will probably be a keepsake or a pass-a-long gift. If you love unique wooden toys this is the best one I've seen.
Customer Review: Too cute!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
We got this in at the store I work at, and we were all enchanted! This was the very first time any of us had seen a set of play food for young children of sushi!
Three kinds of sushi come with shrimp, tuna, salmon roe, and egg pieces. The proper condiments are included: ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce, and of course, chopsticks! The round "dots" on the sushi rolls are velcro, so that you can stick the pieces together and slice through them with the play cleaver, and the velcro even gives it an almost authentic chopping sound!
It is just lovely to look at. All of the pieces are solid wood, and beautifully painted. The box is in black with details of cherry blossoms, and it has a "menu" on the back for restauraunt pretend play!
I plan to get one for a friend's child, but I have to admit that I'm really tempted to buy one for myself, too!
Customer Review: Two boys' review: Excellent wooden toys for pretend play
Summary: 5 Stars
We purchased the Melissa and Doug Wooden Sushi set along with the Melissa and Doug Cutting Food Box for our sons at Christmas (see my Amazon review). It was great to mix and match foods from two cultures!
Here's four reasons we enjoyed this toy so much:
1. It was perfect for quiet play and indoor play during winter.
2. We reinforced good eating habits during meals with the playset.
3. Our sons learned a lot of vocabulary, especially verbs like cut, slice, chop, and mix.
4. Our sons had lots of FUN playing with the food box!
I'm a big fan of Melissa and Doug products: fun, educational and durable. You can check my other Amazon reviews of their floor puzzles.
