Great product even for little ones! Sep 03, 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!

My little kitchen helper Sep 01, 2010
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.

2 YR OLD LOVES Aug 31, 2010
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... Aug 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.

Best toy for ages 18 months and up Aug 25, 2010
My daughter loves it, and it is the first toy she goes to instantly. Great for developing fine motor skills,to learn colors, fruit/vegetables, and even putting "sandwiches" together. Highly recommend, a favorite in out house!
