Product Description
The Cutting Food Box from Melissa and Doug contains eight pieces of wooden food, a cutting board and a wooden knife. With 31 pieces, this pretend play food set offers a great way to introduce the concepts of part, whole and fractions! And, the food makes a fun "CRUNCH" sound when sliced.

pleasantly surprised September 8, 2010

I am big on buying well rated toys. This one rated well and so I bought it for my 2yr old's bday. thinking why is this going to be fun. I was skeptical. Well she loves it! We cut and put together these pieces of food over and over again. She laughs and just has the best time with it. Her being 2 it is way not an independent toy. I have to help her put the pieces together and I have to hold the pieces and adjust them so she can get the knife in to slice. So it is more of a let's play together opposed to having a toy she can do on her own. Very nice quality as well. I highly recommend. I do see though where after a bit we will have to fix some of the velcro so if you don't like having to fix toys then this probably won't last long.
Great product even for little ones! September 3, 2010

My daughter was 1 when she first started playing with this. She is now 2 and I have ordered many other sets from Melissa and Doug. I find their products to be very durable, and I have never had an issue with the paint. Will be buying a ton more in the future!

This toy is fantastic. I keep this in one of my bottom drawers in the kitchen. My son will take it out while I'm preparing for a meal and cut along with me. He was only 1 1/2 when we purchased this toy and caught on very quickly. The nice thing is that the pieces range in difficulty. The loaf of bread and watermelon are pretty easy to cut while the slices of bread and lime (or pepper or whatever it is) are more difficult. He is almost 2 and still using the set and it seems to have taught him how to cut and hold the pieces very well. And of course it helped me keep him busy while I was trying to get food on the table. As far as the durability goes, the wood pieces hold up very well. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the velcro does start to wear after use making the pieces very easy to get apart.
* As a side note, we also have the cookie set and he doesn't play with it nearly as much. Not sure if it is too much of the same thing or he just doesn't like it.

My daughter received this for her 2nd birthday...she LOVES it!!! I think this is good for her fine motor skills working on using the knife.
 I give up... August 27, 2010

People all say they love this toy. I bought it about 1.5 years ago. I have tried to like it, as my daughter got older I hoped my feelings about it would improve, but they haven't (She is 4 and my son is 18 months). It is cute and maybe for an older child who likes puzzles it would be great, but the way that it has to be put together is not easy for a small child. Some pieces have two sides of the same type of velcro and if you misplace those, the rest of the pieces are useless. It also makes it hard for little ones to get it together correctly. My kids do enjoy playing with the little pieces, so it hasn't been a total waste, but I always end up having to put them back together and search for the parts all over the house. I feel similarly about the sandwich kit. The cookies and the cake are great. I also have the 4 food groups and I wish I had ordered two of those instead of this.
