Customer Reviews

You can't go wrong with this type of toy ...
Play food - marvellous stuff. My daughters love it. They use it for tea parties, to learn fruit and vegetable name/colours/shapes. They pretend to go shopping, they love to pile everything in the basket and just carry it around. They feed fruit to their teddys and dolls and to me. There is so much you can do with play food - they use their imagination to play the game and I no longer find food missing from our fruit bowl or vegetable crisper in toy boxes!
All the fruit and vegetables fit in this basket and can be easily carried around. The fruit and vegetables are made of strong plastic and have held up quite well despite being thrown, stood on, chewed and thrown in the bath. Easy to wash in warm soapy water to keep clean.

LIfe sized veggies
I was very pleased with this toy. The veggies, with the exception of the lettuce, are life sized. They are durable, realistic and colorful. My 18 mo. old daughter put them to use right away, naming the veggies and fruits and then feeding them to her doll.

I am very pleased with this product. Out of all of the pretend food that is out there, this is the best that I have seen by far.

Great Toy but a Few of the Fruits were Duds
Don't get me wrong-I LOVE THIS TOY!!! (and so does my 18M old daughter) but I did notice that a few of the fruit pieces were less durable than others. Specifically, the pear arrived to me already crushed (made from very thin plastic) and the banana seems like the next one to "deflate". But most of the fruits are made from much thicker, stronger plastic. The basket is adorable and the fruit and vegetables are very realistic looking. Even without the pear, it provides my daughter hours of fun!
