Melissa & Doug Food Groups – 21 Wooden Pieces and 4 Crates, Multi

Product Description

Feed the imagination with this beautifully crafted wooden play food set! It includes 21 hand-painted solid wood pieces that may be mixed and matched to create a balanced ‘meal.’ The wide range of items includes cheese, milk, watermelon, tomato, bread, fish, egg, steak, and a lot more! Four wooden crates (6.25 inches x 4.25 feet x 2.5 inches each) are included to sort the food into groups – dairy, produce (for vegatables and fruits), grains, and meat and fish. Kids can also sort by color or use the crates to combine foods to serve up pretend-play meals. This sturdy and colorful realistic wooden food set will satisfy kids’ hunger for hands-on play and can nourish cognitive development, too! It helps introduce the basics of nutrition, and can be utilized to teach early number skills, color recognition, sorting, and grouping. The smooth, solid wood pieces are sized for small hands to help promote fine motor skills and dexterity. The collection will spur creative play and encourage budding young chefs to explore healthy food for future years. The Food Groups Wooden Play Food set makes a great gift for kids ages 3 and up. The Play-Time Produce and Vegetables Play Food set is a great accompaniment. The package for this wooden food toy set measures 2.5″ x 8.75″ x 12.5″ and weights 2.1-pounds. For more than 30 years, Melissa & Doug has created beautifully designed imagination- and creativity-sparking products that NBC News called “the gold standard in early childhood play.” Today, Melissa & Doug is proudly partnering with the American Academy of Pediatrics to foster early brain development and help children build important life skills through play.
