Customer Review: Pretty Decent Little Fruit & Veggie Set; Best of All Safe
Summary: 5 Stars
We got this Plan Toys set to go with our daughters' 'Hape' play kitchen this Christmas. I'll admit I'm a little spoiled by the appearance and size of the food that came with the Hape kitchen. It's ever-so-slightly larger than the Plan Toys food, and just a little prettier.
However, I rate Plan Toys 5 stars for the fact that I honestly believe their products to be safe, and more importantly, I don't think the kids will have my overly picky aesthetic taste. These will play just as well as our other foods, and far better than our Haba foods which are so darn small I'm not even sure I trust the 4-year-old unsupervised with them. Too, I like the water-based stains, and the way you can actually see the wood grain beneath them. Also, I'm in love with the way that the wood is sanded to a perfect texture. They really have a thrilling tactile thing going for them.
The one thing I wish I'd been able to locate before purchasing these was the size of each individual piece, so I took the time and measured (as well as I could, given the awkward shapes) in case someone else wants to know.
The tray is about 7.5" x 10.5"
The (uncut) foods are as follows:
apple: 1.8" x 2"
lemon: 2" x 1.2"
banana: 3.25" x .8" (at widest point)
pear: 2.5" x 1.8"
orange: 1.8" x 1.8"
mushroom: 1.5" x 1.25"
carrot: 3.5" x .8"
cucumber: 3" x 1"
The only piece that strikes me as being a definite choking hazard is the carrot. The top portion, especially, is quite small when divided in half. This one will have to be supervised, or maybe put away for a while, since our youngest isn't out of the mouthing phase yet. The cucumber, and lemon may be possible hazards that way too because the sizes are halved when the items are cut up.
Last, it seems worth mentioning that the velcro could have been applied more effectively. I had to give the soft side of the velcro a "haircut" just so the pieces would fit snugly against one another rather than sort of dangle and look ridiculous. Thankfully, this was a suitable solution, but it seems the velcro could have been more deeply seated, or of a higher quality or something of this sort.
All in all, with so few truly safe play food options out there, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this one again. I'm actually quite happy with it, and I think the kids will get a thrill out of it Christmas morning.
