Pretty Decent Little Fruit & Veggie Set; Best of All Safe September 19, 2009

We got this Plan Toys set to go with our daughters' 'Hape' play kitchen this Christmas. I'll admit I'm a little spoiled by the appearance and size of the food that came with the Hape kitchen. It's ever-so-slightly larger than the Plan Toys food, and just a little prettier.
However, I rate Plan Toys 5 stars for the fact that I honestly believe their products to be safe, and more importantly, I don't think the kids will have my overly picky aesthetic taste. These will play just as well as our other foods, and far better than our Haba foods which are so darn small I'm not even sure I trust the 4-year-old unsupervised with them. Too, I like the water-based stains, and the way you can actually see the wood grain beneath them. Also, I'm in love with the way that the wood is sanded to a perfect texture. They really have a thrilling tactile thing going for them.
The one thing I wish I'd been able to locate before purchasing these was the size of each individual piece, so I took the time and measured (as well as I could, given the awkward shapes) in case someone else wants to know.
The tray is about 7.5" x 10.5"
The (uncut) foods are as follows:
apple: 1.8" x 2"
lemon: 2" x 1.2"
banana: 3.25" x .8" (at widest point)
pear: 2.5" x 1.8"
orange: 1.8" x 1.8"
mushroom: 1.5" x 1.25"
carrot: 3.5" x .8"
cucumber: 3" x 1"
The only piece that strikes me as being a definite choking hazard is the carrot. The top portion, especially, is quite small when divided in half. This one will have to be supervised, or maybe put away for a while, since our youngest isn't out of the mouthing phase yet. The cucumber, and lemon may be possible hazards that way too because the sizes are halved when the items are cut up.
Last, it seems worth mentioning that the velcro could have been applied more effectively. I had to give the soft side of the velcro a "haircut" just so the pieces would fit snugly against one another rather than sort of dangle and look ridiculous. Thankfully, this was a suitable solution, but it seems the velcro could have been more deeply seated, or of a higher quality or something of this sort.
All in all, with so few truly safe play food options out there, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this one again. I'm actually quite happy with it, and I think the kids will get a thrill out of it Christmas morning.
Fantastic Toy! March 11, 2008

This toy is by far my 18 month old daughter's favorite. Not only is it extremely cute and well made, but it focuses her attention on a task - cutting the vegetables. After she slices them she puts them back together and I see her experiment to find the correct halves to match up. This toy engages her mind while also helping her develop the fine motor skills necessary to do the activity. She doesn't use them so much as a prop for imaginative play yet, but I think that they will be a fantastic addition to her play kitchen in another year or so. I have since purchased other items by Plan Toys and have so far been impressed with all of them.

Waaaay cute!!! My 2 year old plays and plays and plays w/ this and LOVES "cutting" the food. She carries the little tray all over and sometimes leaves the veggies and stacks other things on it. The tray is def. half the fun of this toy!
Love It! January 7, 2009

We got our 2 year old daughter this set for Christmas and she loves it! She loves cutting the food apart and using it in her kitchen. We love it because it is not plastic, thus an eco-friendly choice, no phalate worries, and will last. Plus, the stained rubber wood is more durable than the soon and sure to chip Melissa and Doug food. This is a perfect addition to her Plan Toys collection.
perfect size January 9, 2009

These are smaller than the Melissa and Doug food, but I am so glad I chose them. They really are the perfect size for little hands. My girls haven't stopped playing with them.
