Toys and Games Reviews of 101 Piece Play Food Assortment
Customer Review: Awesome Play Food!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I did A LOT of research on the Internet regarding play food before I bought this set. This set offers the largest variety of foods, covering all of the food groups, with minimal amount of desserts (I want a healthy eater). This play food set has eggplant, cauliflower, asparagus, chicken, steak, ham, hot dogs, hamburger, bacon, pineapple, lemon, honeydew and musk melons, any many more items - an incredible selection of foods. I received exactly what was shown in the picture on the Internet. The food is very high quality and just the right size for a play kitchen to fit on the play plates. My daughter, husband and I have a great time with this food. She loves making us breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. She also likes to put it in her shopping cart that we had purchased separately and ring the food up with a pretend cash register.
As for comments on the packaging...packaging costs money which is built into the cost of the food. That is why this food doesn't cost a lot, because Step 2 saves money on packaging. Plus most people toss packaging anyways after opening an item. The packaging is clear plastic so you can see all of the items.
This set has a larger variety of food than Little Tikes, Fisher Price, and Just Like Home (I never saw anything about Kid Connection play food during my research). The person who received 8 hot dogs, 12 french fries, etc. should contact Step 2 and ask for a reship. There must have been a mistake made when packaging was done (probably a rush for holidays orders). You should get exactly what is shown on the Internet.
I hope this review helps everyone. Have fun with this food! It is a GREAT buy!!
Customer Review: Made In China with NO information on lead level safety
Summary: 2 Stars
I ordered this product with knowledge that there are no canned goods or food boxes with the other food items, thanks to the prior customer comments. The description should be changed. The packaging is very plain, including two plastic bags with the toy food items, then enclosed within a plain, white, small box. There was no attempt to make the toy display-worthy. I ordered it through Wal-Mart to be shipped to one of their stores for pick-up, but since there was an option to have it sent to my house, I assume all orders come in this unattractive packaging.
There were many different items within food groups, but many items were not formed on all sides, but rather looked nice on one side and flattened on the other, which cheaped the appearance. (As if a vegatable was cut in half the long way.)
There was one huge problem for me, which caused me to return to item on the spot at the Wal-Mart pick-up: This toy is made in CHINA and the plain box had no consumer information, no telephone number to the company, no assurance of safety and no address. Since it is toy food, kids will naturally pretend to "taste" it, and with lead used often in Chinese toy manufacturing, this item is a risk to use, especially for younger kids who are most likely to put it in their mouths. I have since found many similar toy food sets in local chain stores and they have not been recalled, so I am glad I did not keep this product.
Customer Review: Fun, Interesting Food
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this set for my 21 month old to accompany the Little Tikes shopping cart. I was looking for a set of play food with variety. I found it interesting that the company for the food products is British, and so there are cans and jars of food that Americans normally would not see or have heard of. Probably why some of it sounded disgusting to another reviewer. My daughter doesn't care. She just sees the photos on the products. It was a great learning tool because as she upacked all of the food (especially the non-boxed and canned foods) she named each item correctly. And learned the names of some new foods, such as asparagus. It provides her with a great variety of foods and she enjoys "cooking" with them. Yes, there is a bottle of "brown sauce", but she thinks it ketchup. I'm certainly not going to correct her. And to compliment the items, I taped up an empty box of butter that we used, an empty Magic Eraser box (she loves Mr. Clean for some reason) and she goes to town. Now I'm looking for the perfect kitchen set and she will be totally equipped for shopping and cooking! I highly recommend this set based on the value for the money and what is currently available. One of the drawbacks is that some of the pieces are small (like single french fries) - you can always put them aside based on the age of your child.Customer Review: Cheaply made! Not what it appears to be!
Summary: 2 Stars
I agree with a previous review that you get what you pay for. But in the future I would highly recommend paying more once instead of having to replace this food in a few months or so. We received this as a gift and from the outside it looked like an great choice! I was very happy. But we have had this package of food for about one week and I am already taping boxes with packaging tape to keep them together. Little hands can pull apart the milk, juice and snack boxes in no time. The cans of food are so small that they topple over easily in the play kitchen. The pies, pizza, and such food are all actually hollow underneath. There is no base to them. They tell you 101 pieces but in our kit it counted 8 hotdogs (without buns), 12 individual french fries and the same on potato chips. Not necessary especially since you also get two french fry packets in a french fry container and you get a hot dog in a bun separately. Why would my child want four jalepenos too. So much of this food is not they type of thing a small child would be familiar with. Anyway, in my opinion spend the money on a smaller quantity of higher quality food or go online and find the "vintage" Fisher Price or Little Tikes food. Now those are made to last and of good size for small hands.Customer Review: I'm not impressed... you get what you pay for I suppose, yet I still feel cheated
Summary: 3 Stars
I love step2 products, my daughter is only 2 yrs old but we already have MANY of their items. We decided to get her the lifestyle deluxe kitchen for the holidays this year & needed to get her some playfood to go along with it, I really wanted wooden sets but after spending over $200 on the kitchen I decided I'd go with the step2 plastic... big mistake! As another reviewer mentioned there is no retail packaging, they come in plastic bags. The plastic pieces are tiny, very thin, and sized strangely (ie a banana is smaller then an egg etc), the "boxes" are a joke, they are smaller and weaker then your typical snack size raisin box... I didn't even dare give them to my toddler as they'd have been ruined in 2 seconds. The "jars" are also very small and instead of interesting as one reviewer said they are just odd, disgusting sounding food items and very boring design. Having nothing else on hand I did give these to my daughter, she seems to like them well enough but I will be buying her some wooden playfoods soon and tossing these up on ebay or a garage sale. Not recommended.
