Review: Great addition to any child's role play kitchen - Good quality and safe and easy for kids to use. Very bright colours too. Review: Food glorious food - Bought for my daughters 2nd birthday. Out of all the toys/ presents she got this is the one that caught her attention the must. I went for wooden food to go with a previous set of Melissa & Doug food, I believe it will last longer and age better than its plastic competitors. It just has a much nicer feel to it. The eye catching colours, chunky appeal of the well made wooden food. The velour is of a good quality and has much life in it. She did need assistance the first couple of times playing with this item, but after a while she got use to the motion. Good for fine motor skills. Only problem now is I have bits of chopped up wooden food everywhere! ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 36 months - WOODEN CUTTING PLAY FOOD SET: The Melissa and Doug Cutting Food Wooden Play set features toy food pieces that stick together and come apart with a satisfying “crunch” sound as kids slice the play food pieces apart. - REALISTIC PAINTED WOODEN PRETEND FOOD: This Melissa & Doug cutting food set is made of 8 beautifully painted pieces of wooden food that feature realistic details and can be sliced into 27 sections. - PRETEND PLAY GIFT FOR 3 TO 5 YEARS: The Melissa & Doug Wooden Play Food Set makes an great gift for kids ages 3 to 5 years.

M&D do a cutting fruits selection box. I’ve had one now for 14 months and is still being used and looks good so has definitely been worth the price. **Q: Is this vegetarian friendly ?** A: I ordered this product but unfortunately received a different one which is not vegetarian friendly. I believe the "cutting food" product I had ordered is however, as I am under the impression it is fruit & bread! **Q: Hi there, does this come with all 4 baskets and food pictures? Regards** A: Hi, yes it does come will all 4 little crates with wooden food. They are lovely quality and really good value. I wouldn't hesitate in buying my niece loves them. **Q: How big is each crate/box?** A: 11 cm x 15.5 cm x 6 cm ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great addition to any child's role play kitchen *by H***Y on 24 August 2025* Good quality and safe and easy for kids to use.

She loves cutting up the food on the cutting board as the sound of the wooden knife on the board and cutting through the velcro, makes it quite realistic. It comes in a lovely wooden crate-style box. I am not sure how durable it is at the moment as we haven't had it long, but it seems well made and solid. Pieces have been dropped on the ceramic floor and so far no marks or chips on the toys. ## Frequently Bought Together - Melissa & Doug Cutting Food Play Food Set With Wooden Pieces, Knife, Cutting Board - Melissa & Doug Cutting Fruit Set - Wooden Play Food Kitchen Accessory, Multi - Pretend Play Accessories, Wooden Cutting Fruit Toys For Toddlers And Kids Ages 3+ - Melissa & Doug Food Groups - 21 Wooden Pieces and 4 Crates, Multi Play Food Sets For Kids Kitchen, Pretend Toy For Toddlers And Kids Ages 3+ --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/48117076-melissa-and-doug-cutting-food-play-food-set-with-wooden](https://www.desertcart.us/products/48117076-melissa-and-doug-cutting-food-play-food-set-with-wooden) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-21*
