Disappointing for younger children
After purchasing the lunch food basket (which I would highly recommend) for my 8-month-old son, I was disappointed with the fruit and vegetable selection in this set. Unlike the lunch set, this set is mainly hard plastic (not chewable rubber). Also, the strawberries were too small and choking hazards. I have decided to put away most of these items until he is much older. For now, we will stick to the rubber foods.
Generally Good, but could be better
I bought these for my 16 month old son for Christmas. They are good, but I was expecting better based on other reviews. A few items are made of harder plastic and a few of softer plastic. They are basicly life sized, with the exception of the lettuce and I think the apple is a bit small. Nothing was small enough that I felt it needed to be taken away until he is older. The coloration is a bit odd too, with some lighter areas. Maybe this is from the production, but it takes away from the naturalness. The pear's stem was broken when my son threw it on our tile floor and the tomato came with a dent in it. All that, however does not take away from the fact that my son likes to play with them and it has helped him to learn his fruits and veggies.
Great play food
I purchased this play food for my son who is 18 months old. I was pleasantly surprised when it came. I thought some of the food would be small or made from thin plastic and would not last long. I was wrong. All the pieces are made from a hard plastic that seems very durable. The only small pieces are the strawberries so if your child likes to put stuff in their mouth it might be a good idea to take these away from them. I was also impressed with the quality of the little shopping basket. It is very sturdy and well made. I highly recommend this product and brand if you are looking for something that will last.
