Learning Resources New Sprouts Munch It! Pretend Play Food Set - 20-Piece Toddler Picnic Toy for Imaginative Play & Early Learning, Ages 2+ | Perfect for Role-Playing, Tea Parties & Preschool Educational Activities

We love this set of LR play food for our toddler! All of the LR sets we have are great quality. This particular set would be a great starter set for play food for a toddler or really kids at any age. The foods included have tons of playability and can work for all the meals of the day.You get two slices of bread, which could be used to make a sandwich or as toast. The two slices of cheese could be snacks or used to make a grilled cheese sandwich. The orange, apple, banana, and blueberries could be stand alone snacks or sides to meals. They are also great for promoting healthy eating. The carrot could be a side or snack as well. The bowls of cereal and macaroni are adorable! I love the textures that feel so much like actual cereal or noodles, as much as plastic can anyway. These also come with little spoons that my daughter loves to use to feed her dolls. She’s 20 months right now and got this set for Christmas. We love the yogurt cup as well since it isn’t labeled. It can be yogurt, a smoothie, or strawberry ice cream. The cookie is a great weight as well and holds up well to teething. The juice box is probably our least favorite piece from this set just because my daughter has never seen an actual juice box. So she doesn’t really recognize it as a drink. I would rather have had a juice bottle that she could have used as juice, soda, medicine, or pediasure (which she drinks a lot). I can see her having more fun with the juice box in the future though. Since it’s not labeled, I guess she could use it as juice or maybe a hospital water mug or something? If the no label thing really bothers you, you could just make your own label for it.I know some people have been really bothered by the muffin, but this is one of my toddler’s favorite parts of the set. She absolutely loves taking the top off and on the muffin cup. I think it’s adorable that the blueberries can fit inside the muffin top, and my little loves pulling them out of it. I think it’s a great way to teach kids that whole ingredients make up our food as well since blueberries in an actual muffin aren’t terribly recognizable as the raw blueberries they might eat on the side of a meal. Since the muffin is pretty plain on top, you could pretend it’s a cupcake if you wanted to as well.Some people have been concerned that a few of the pieces have small holes in them, almost like a bath toy. Let me be clear here, the quality of the materials used here is far superior to a bath toy. Some of the pieces do have little holes in them though. And my toddler did discover those holes and was having a blast sucking on them and getting spit inside the toys. I took away the pieces she was doing that with for a while, mostly the banana and apple. I just squoze them out until the air coming out was totally dry. I wasn’t sure what else to do. I’d be interested to know if anyone has tried microwaving them for a short time, you know, like you do with pacifiers sometimes. Anyway, I recently gave the apple and banana back to my daughter, and she hasn’t been sucking on the holes anymore.My one wish with this set is that it came in a basket like the breakfast, lunch, and dinner baskets. We have a basket from the dinner set and just trade sets out in it. The food we’re not using goes in a bigger bin under her crib. She loves filling the basket and dumping it out again, something I think most toddlers love. So I think that would improve this set significantly. It is still pretty great on its own though, and it has some great possibilities for expanding vocabulary and teaching colors. It’s also a fun way to introduce your toddler to feeding themself with a spoon without a huge mess. I think it’s also a great set to grow with kiddos since none of the foods are terribly babyish. I would highly recommend! Also, it comes in a nice box with a front display, so it would be good for gifting.Seriously the best play food you can buy in my opinion! They look so real, they are very well made and very durable, and have a nice feel to them as well. There is less expensive play food out there, but then you get what you pay for. This set it definitely a higher quality!!!My daughter loves loves to pretend play with the food. It's a bit expensive and wish they have way more options...still worth the buy and great gift.Buy these they’re fabulousThis set was perfect for my granddaughters! We have “ cooked” for hours. The food is durable and looks real.Not cheap plastic! They are worth it!I bought this for my toddler and she loves it! The food feels like something close to rubber so it is soft. My toddler has bitten the play food a few times and it still looks new. I wish the apple was a little bigger but other than that the size if the food is good. The detail on the food in the bowls is really good. I thought you would be able to take the food out of the bowl but it seems like it stays. The other food looks pretty good. Could have more detail but it could also have a lot less. For a kids toy it is good. The cookie is solid and has some weight to it which I think is very cool. Looking at the food I think it will last a long time. I am happy with the set and hope to buy more. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for good quality play food.Bought these for my toddler! She enjoys playing with them! The only reason I’m giving this product 4 stars is because the muffin came off. I tried using super glue but again it came off. We tossed it & kept the rest. So far, after some months, the other play food has lasted, and haven’t come a part.We've bought two different sets from this brand now. Although pricey they have been played with so much. The trend is for wooden food, we have the lot, wooden cakestands, cookies, pizzas, cakes. It all looks lovely, but some of it is heavy. My granddaughter isn't the most delicate with things yet, she's just turned 2. So we thought we'd give these a try and read lots of reviews on American amazon as they aren't as popular here in the UK. They are well used by the little one, she recognizes the foods, they are foods toddlers really eat. Not like normal plastic food but like thick rubber material so won't get squished. They can be washed too which is a bonus. I thoroughly recommend this range of toy food.Bought these toys for my niece when she turned 2 years old and she absolutely loves them. They are durable and easy to clean and she hasn't managed to swallow anything as the pieces are quite large.This is a Xmas present. I checked it over and I can say that I am not diassapointed. It's brilliant! Great quality and it all looks so good. Toddler will love it.Very good selection of play food items. My daughter enjoys role-playing with them. Even the bowl of Cheerios fooled me into thinking they were real! Well made and fun with some items that you don't generally see in other packs of play food.FANTASTIC, best play food I have ever bought my son and his cousins love it, its not cheap flimsy rubbish, very durable and different to your usual play food
