Customer Review for Melissa & Doug Food Box at Amazon

I ordered this toy for my granddaughter who was celebrating her 4th birthday. It was obvious her 9 year old brother liked it as well, as he was slicing and dicing with it before she even had a chance to finish opening her other gifts. Three weeks later and it is still their favorite toy to play with together. My grandkids are always wanting to help out in the kitchen when I'm cooking and this toy gives them the opportunity to practice their technique on one of the things I won't let them do yet. I highly recommend this toy and feel that the Melissa & Doug collection of toys will be a favorite of children for years to come. Since ordering this set, I have ordered two more different sets and they were a hit as well. -- Great for kids of all ages!

They use a very similar toy to this at the Montessori School I am looking at enrolling my son, when I found it on amazon I couldn't resist purchasing it. HE ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT! It is great for his hand eye coordination, learning real world applications on how to cut his own food, and problem solving (while he is putting the fruit back together). I would HIGHLY recommend this toy for a boy or girl, it is a great teaching tool while the kids are having fun. -- My Two Year Old Son LOVES THIS TOY

This toy is amazing....Not only my daughter but I also love this toy!! Whoever thought of this idea of making this toy with Velcro on it, was really creative. It is priced o.k and is very durable. Also I gifted this toy to my nephew and he loves it too. You will not be disappointed buying this toy. -- Loads of fun

This toy not only teaches kids their foods, but also teaches them how to cut and connect!!! -- Cutting Food Box

My little boy received this toy as a gift when he was about14 months. He plays with it everyday. He loves to name the foods and practice cutting the different items. He is 2 years old now and still uses the toy. He plays with the toy while I am cooking. He likes to pretend that he is cooking with me! The toy looks like new even after the daily handling.

Older cousins have been to the house and love playing with the food too!

It is pretty enough to leave on the coffee table! :) -- Wonderful Toy!
