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.
Kids absolutely love this toy and they can cut for hours at a time. This was my granddaughter's favorite gift last year and she was just crazy over being able to "cut" everything. The cutting noises are so realistic that you'll think they got a hold of a real knife by mistake! This one is sure to provide endless entertainment and fun!

This was a gift from Grandma for our 18 month old. Our daughter figured out how to cut a few months later. It’s perfect for age two and up. She loves to cut up all the fruits, veggies, and bread. It comes with two cutting boards and two knives so a friend can play along too. It keeps her entertained for a long time and, as others have mentioned, teaches her the names of a few fruits and veggies along the way. Everything comes in a nice wooden box with a slide-on lid, which is great for storing all the pieces and for the fun of “in and out” of the box. My only complaint is that the velcro stickers which hold the pieces together are not compeletly durable. I’ve reglued a few of them, which has been no big deal to do. Overall a great toy, well priced, and nicely made.

This is a great set that comes with fruit and veggies cut into slices and held together with velcro, dull wooden knives and a little cutting board. It comes in a wooden box with a plastic top that can be used to store the pieces when not in use. The kids love the cutting action and playing with them when they are assembled and whole.
My only caution is to be somewhat diligent with keeping these together as a set or else they may scatter throughout the house (as happened with us). My kids got frustrated when they wanted a whole piece of food and they could only find half.
Also great from this company is the new wood pizza which has pieces to “slice” and little wood toppings to construct a custom made pizza pie.

I wanted to get my daughters some play food that wasn’t plastic, and this turned out to be a gem. I have to say that the picture here doesn’t do it justice — the pieces are much more appealing in person. Originally I thought they would like one of the other 2 sets better (the pizza or the sandwich set), but after purchasing them, this is the clear favorite. These pieces are the most versatile. There is some bread, which can be fashioned into a sandwich. The veggies/fruits can be served as is or chopped up in a “stew”, etc. The carrot can double for chunks of cheddar…..and on and on. We’ve counted pieces. We’ve played restaurant. And really, getting the cucumber back together so there is not a kink in the middle is almost a puzzle. There is something most satisfying about the crunching, slicing sound too.
I do agree with the other reviewer about the paint smell though (but it does go away). And the red paint started rubbing off on the knife almost immediately.
All in all, however, this will get played with A LOT.
