## Questions & Answers

**Q: this says that it includes all 4 food groups, but then it says each group sold seperate. What one is it?**
A: This is sold with all 4 food groups divided into four crates.  It's just like the picture.  Maybe they mean that their other food packages are sold separately (like the pizza and the sandwich sets)?

**Q: are these plastic?**
A: They are made of wood and painted to look like the food group.  My grandchildren (ages 2 yrs. and 15 mons.) love to play with them and can easily identify the foods.  They love spending time playing with these with their cooking set.  I highly recommend them.

**Q: Does this item have a prop 65 label?**
A: No

**Q: Would this toy be safe for a 14 month old?**
A: I would try to get more information regarding the paint. The pieces are big, so your 14 month old will not choke on them, but I do not know if the paint has harmful side effects. My daughter was 18 months old when I bought these for her. She may have licked a couple of pieces, but that was it.
