We love this set of LR play food for our toddler! All of the LR sets we have are great quality. This particular set would be a great starter set for play food for a toddler or really kids at any age. The foods included have tons of playability and can work for all the meals of the day. You get two slices of bread, which could be used to make a sandwich or as toast. The two slices of cheese could be snacks or used to make a grilled cheese sandwich. The orange, apple, banana, and blueberries could be stand alone snacks or sides to meals. They are also great for promoting healthy eating. The carrot could be a side or snack as well. The bowls of cereal and macaroni are adorable! I love the textures that feel so much like actual cereal or noodles, as much as plastic can anyway. These also come with little spoons that my daughter loves to use to feed her dolls. She’s 20 months right now and got this set for Christmas. We love the yogurt cup as well since it isn’t labeled. It can be yogurt, a smoothie, or strawberry ice cream. The cookie is a great weight as well and holds up well to teething. The juice box is probably our least favorite piece from this set just because my daughter has never seen an actual juice box. So she doesn’t really recognize it as a drink. I would rather have had a juice bottle that she could have used as juice, soda, medicine, or pediasure (which she drinks a lot). I can see her having more fun with the juice box in the future though. Since it’s not labeled, I guess she could use it as juice or maybe a hospital water mug or something? If the no label thing really bothers you, you could just make your own label for it. I know some people have been really bothered by the muffin, but this is one of my toddler’s favorite parts of the set. She absolutely loves taking the top off and on the muffin cup. I think it’s adorable that the blueberries can fit inside the muffin top, and my little loves pulling them out of it. I think it’s a great way to teach kids that whole ingredients make up our food as well since blueberries in an actual muffin aren’t terribly recognizable as the raw blueberries they might eat on the side of a meal. Since the muffin is pretty plain on top, you could pretend it’s a cupcake if you wanted to as well. Some people have been concerned that a few of the pieces have small holes in them, almost like a bath toy. Let me be clear here, the quality of the materials used here is far superior to a bath toy. Some of the pieces do have little holes in them though. And my toddler did discover those holes and was having a blast sucking on them and getting spit inside the toys. I took away the pieces she was doing that with for a while, mostly the banana and apple. I just squoze them out until the air coming out was totally dry. I wasn’t sure what else to do. I’d be interested to know if anyone has tried microwaving them for a short time, you know, like you do with pacifiers sometimes. Anyway, I recently gave the apple and banana back to my daughter, and she hasn’t been sucking on the holes anymore. My one wish with this set is that it came in a basket like the breakfast, lunch, and dinner baskets. We have a basket from the dinner set and just trade sets out in it. The food we’re not using goes in a bigger bin under her crib. She loves filling the basket and dumping it out again, something I think most toddlers love. So I think that would improve this set significantly. It is still pretty great on its own though, and it has some great possibilities for expanding vocabulary and teaching colors. It’s also a fun way to introduce your toddler to feeding themself with a spoon without a huge mess. I think it’s also a great set to grow with kiddos since none of the foods are terribly babyish. I would highly recommend! Also, it comes in a nice box with a front display, so it would be good for gifting.

This play food set is very nice. It has a good assortment of foods, we like the look of the food, and it's durable. You won't be disappointed.

Extremely high quality play food! Adorable items, would buy again!

The assortment of these cute and realistic food items are absolutely perfect value for your money. Very durable easy for for kids to play and have fun with. The colors are bright and cherry. The items are made of a soft plastic material

Nice product. Kids live the food, etc models

I recently purchased a nice kitchen set for the kids that I babysit for - They are pretty tough on their toys, and so many food pieces are just made too thin, I watch kids of all ages so I don’t like anything with magnets or very small pieces. I have been purchasing primarily Melissa and Doug or Hape brands until I got this set, the kids loved it - Everything is very realistic looking, and definitely built to last - the material is soft enough for a baby to chew on and strong enough for a baby to chew on - I can’t wait to add more Learning Resources products to our playroom - the kids favorite by far were the cereal bowls and Mac n Cheese - I have been pretending to eat it for hours already.

I bought this for my toddler and she loves it! The food feels like something close to rubber so it is soft. My toddler has bitten the play food a few times and it still looks new. I wish the apple was a little bigger but other than that the size if the food is good. The detail on the food in the bowls is really good. I thought you would be able to take the food out of the bowl but it seems like it stays. The other food looks pretty good. Could have more detail but it could also have a lot less. For a kids toy it is good. The cookie is solid and has some weight to it which I think is very cool. Looking at the food I think it will last a long time. I am happy with the set and hope to buy more. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for good quality play food.

Our two-year-old nephew didn't have any play food sets at the time so my sister-in-law suggested we get him one for Christmas. I searched a lot on Amazon and there were so many different ones to choose from! I decided on this one since it got good reviews, has a good variety of foods that two-year-olds would eat and know about, and the price point was perfect. My sister-in-law said her son loves this set! The foods are made of durable plastic so it's safe for toddlers and easy to clean. Because this set includes a lot of foods toddlers would eat, it is great for building vocabulary and inspiring imaginations. It's also nice to find food sets made specifically for ages two and up since some made for three years and up can be slightly smaller, which could be a potential choking hazard. My twins are three and sometimes still put things in their mouths so I definitely would've opted for this set when they were two. Overall, this food set is wonderful for young children to build their imaginations and vocabulary and so far it seems very safe to use. I asked my sister-in-law if there was a smell to the plastic but she said she didn't notice anything about it. The variety of foods included are great since these are the foods most kids eat at this age and they look about as realistic as they can be while still being plastic. I recommend this set to anyone who is looking for food sets specifically for two-year-olds!

Love it. Is so realistic and good quality

Looooove these! Extremely durable; 3 years in my playroom and there is not a single bite mark in any of the items and not a single "casualty".

This set is perfection! I absolutely love it. And we have already gotten so much use out of it. I love that it comes with alittle bit of all of the food groups and some breakfast, lunch and dinner items. My daughter loves feeding the food to her doll. She also loves putting all of the food in and out of her grocery cart. And this has been a HUGE break through for us with my toddlers eating habits. She is superrrr picky eater and she tried a bagel the other day and I have the cute bagel in this set to thank for it. Great for giving your little ones some experience with food without the pressure of having to eat it. Would highly recommend.

Bought to go with step2 kitchen for daughter. Great size and very good quality. Bought two sets from learning resources

Children loved, used in child care facility and held up for a long time!
