Melissa & Doug Slice Bake Wooden Cookie Play Food Set

My girls love to pretend cook or bake anything. When my daughter played with this set at her preschool i knew we had to own it. I feel like it really helps develop fine motor skills as it allows you to pretend slice the cookies, and decorate with the icings provided. I'm also happy that the velcro attached is very sturdy and doesn't fray. The cookies come stacked with their icing stacked on top in a cardboard tube. The bottom end is capped in tin, and the top end that you open has a removable plastic lid that pops out. I would recommend helping your kids if they are young like mine and play rough with their toys as the tin end has already popped off. I will have to find some time to glue the end on. The set comes with a baking tray with the corresponding velcro pieces to attach the cookies to. It also comes with the spatula, a slicing knife and an oven mitt. The set overall is so cute and my kids love playing with it. I haven't had one complaint about melissa and doug quality, you can't go wrong with this purchase for your little one's bakery.

This colorful wooden set includes 12 wooden, sliceable cookies and 12 toppings, wooden knife, spatula, cookie sheet and a kitchen mitt for safe, "low-calorie" play! the cookies store in a durable dough tube.

Bake up something good the slice and bake cookie set features a dozen cookies that are packaged in a cardboard tube that looks just like a tube of cookie dough from the grocery store. Because they're held together with velcro, the cookies slide out in one piece. Use the wooden toy knife to "slice" the cookies apart - the velcro makes a satisfying slicing sound when it separates. The child can then place the cookies on the cookie sheet and pretend the cookies are baking, making sure to hold the "hot" cookie sheet with the oven mitt once they're done. (note that the toy kitchen utensils are not meant for use with real food or with real kitchen appliances. ) once the cookies are done baking, it's decorating time! the 12 "vanilla" and "chocolate" frosting pieces attach to the cookies with velcro. They are painted with different, yummy looking sprinkles, candy pieces, and icing patterns, so your child can create a variety of different looking cookies. After the decorating is done, your child can serve them up with the included wooden toy spatula. Perfect for preschool-age children, this toy not only offers plenty of opportunity for imaginary play, it also helps small kids exercise their motor skills. Our preschool-age tester found it challenging, yet fun, to slice the cookies apart. And while our toy tester enjoyed playing with it independently, this toy makes a great parent-and-child activity, too. Adults can place custom orders for cookies, play counting and matching games, and more. If you're at a loss for ideas, melissa & doug includes interactive play ideas on the back of the cookie sheet that help you encourage your child to learn while she plays. Sturdy, high-quality construction the slice and bake cookie set definitely has plenty of pieces, so we were glad to find that the cardboard tube is big enough to contain both the cookies and the toppings, making cleanup and organization much easier.

We got this for my 2 year old for her birthday and she's having a blast with it. I love how there's several steps to making the cookies, just like you would in a real kitchen. First, slice the roll of cookie dough into individual cookies, then stick them on the pan and "bake". When they come out of the "oven" you decorate with frosting and then serve them up to your favorite stuffed animal friends. . I am very impressed by the quality of all the components. Even the pan is heavy and durable. -Notice from X. Cortney, Redcar and Cleveland

These are so cute and sturdy! i was worried because some reviews said the tray didn't fit in the oven of all play kitchens but it fit in ours perfectly! we have the kidkraft uptown kitchen.

- A. WalshMy girls loved this. Cute, easy velcro to attach & detach from "baking pan" or "icing toppings. " liked the tube canister to put pieces away neatly, only thing that i was not so happy about was the fit for the top. It was hard for my girls to put on & their was extra paper that wasn't really secured to the sides so i'm worried that it will start tearing down the sides eventually. But other than that i am still really happy about this purchase!

I bought this because my 4 year old son was having difficulty with his c&k sounds. His speech therapist used this as a tool when teaching him and it was so effective i bought him one for home too. Him and my 3 year old love to pretend decorate and feed us. As for the product itself, it's exactly what you would expect from a melissa and doug product. The woods doesn't dent easily, the paint stays on even after being thrown and stomped on and the velcro has not come off a single cookie. Would totally buy again.

Melissa & Doug Flip Serve Pancake Set 19 pcs - Wooden Breakfast Play Food

We've been buying melissa & doug products for years and have always been pleased with their quality until recently. This is the 3rd food set we've purchased within the past year that just doesn't seem to be of the same caliber as sets purchased 3-4 years ago. The wood crates that some of the sets come in become unglued, velcro falls off and with this particular set the griddle has split and chipped. The kids still love playing with it all, i'm just disappointed in the newer products durability.

Who's ready for breakfast? with this wooden play food set, a young chef can prepare two golden-brown pancakes with all the fixings on a cooktop surface printed on the back of the corrugated storage box! ingredients include chocolate chips, blueberries, bananas, and pats of butter. Cook them up on the wooden skillet and use the utensils to flip and slice. Self stick tabs on the food pieces make a satisfying crunch when sliced and also help the toppings stay on the pancakes! serve up the pancakes on the printed thick paper placemat with a festive gingham design for hours of pretend-play fun.

As with most melissa & doug items i have purchased recently, the price remains the same and it seems that the quality has gone down. The boxes used to be nice wooden boxes which lasted as long as the play set. They are now cardboard boxes and i don't anticipate that they will last much more than a few months. Disappointed. I would pay more for the "old" quality. -Notice from G. Matherly, Northern Territory

This is a nice set, but i guess i wish there was more with it. There is no storage box. Two pancakes, three banana pieces, three blueberry pieces, three chocolate chip pieces, four butter chunks, a spatula, a knife, and a pan. A cute bottle of syrup, storage box, and maybe some more toppings would have been nice to have as well for the price. The paint chips when you actually flip the pancakes with the spatula onto the wood pan. I was kind of disappointed in that since i would think they would have thought of that and made it more durable.

- Z. EmmaMy 3 year old loves this toy. I would not recommend this product for a child younger than 2. The banana, blueberry and chocolate chip pieces are a choking hazard. The only complaint i have is the velcro comes off and then the small round pieces can no longer stick to the large pancake piece. Overall, the toy is well made.

I wish m&d products were as nice as hape and plan, but they just aren't as great quality. However, i didn't like hape's equivalent pancake set. This one has much more to add, and my son loves the "cutting" aspect of play toys, so this is a hit with him. There is velcro on pretty much all the pieces, even the "frying pan" for extra playability. One thing to note though, the blueberry/banana/chocolate pieces are pretty small, if you're buying this for a younger toddler you might want to watch out, they could be choking hazards. My son is 3 so it's fine for him, but when his little sister starts to crawl i probably have to keep a watch over them. Obviously the suggested age matches that in the product description, but some people buy play food pretty young so keep an eye out for that.

Melissa & Doug Cutting Food - Play Food Set With 25+ Hand-Painted Wooden Pieces, Knife, Cutting Board

This cutting food set seems to be pretty good quality. The pieces are quite large, most things are pretty true to real size, or just slightly smaller. . The actual cutting board is rather small, about 8 inches by 4-5inches. However, it is a play cutting board, and at that size pretty perfect for toddlers. . Downside- some of the velcro seems rather recessed in the pieces. I wonder how long they will stick well, and require a bit of work to find just the right place to go them to stick. It does seem like i could get new velcro and just glue them in if needed. . Overall 5 stars. Seems like it will be quality enough that it will actually make it through multiple kids.

This set contains eight pieces of wooden food, a cutting board and a wooden knife. Cutting the food makes a satisfying "crunch"-and a playful introduction to concepts of "whole, " "part, " and fractions.

I ordered this for my 2. 5 year old daughter who is very curious about the kitchen, cooking, etc. She has a play kitchen and tons of plastic "play food", however, i have found that she loses interest in them quickly overall (the play kitchen keeps her attention longer if/when we allow her to use real water in the pots and non-draining sink. ). If this sounds like your child, read on! . . The melissa & doug cutting food set has been a total a+! it does actually make a crunch sound when she cuts because of the velcro between the slices which she seems to really enjoy. I am always leery of buying sets with so many pieces because she just doesn't seem to want to use them for their intended purpose, or the sets don't appeal to her. That is not the case with this set! she loves it for what it is! the pieces have a nice weight because they are constructed from wood. It comes with a wooden knife that has a realistic shape that's rounded at the bottom just enough that it doesn't seem that it would cause damage or scratching if it is used on surfaces other than the cutting board it comes with. . My 9 year old son even likes the set! he also likes using them to practice chopping and cutting (he started learning how to make basic recipes in the real kitchen a year ago). But, the thing he really enjoys about it, in his words, "using it to do factions"! it gives him a nice visual for what a 1/4 means when he can chop the pepper into quarters and he now understands reducing basic fractions because of this set - when he chops the pepper or watermelon in half, he started by calling one of the halves 2/4, but visually it made sense to him that 2/4 is also 1/2! . . If your child or children are in a montessori school or daycare, i highly recommend purchasing this set - they will love it! it is great for building and practicing practical life skills. It comes in its own wooden tray (the tray does not have handles, but it is an appropriate size and has ample sides to keep the items from spilling out) making clean up and storage easy for even the youngest kids. . I saw in some of the reviews that people complained about the smell - there was no chemical or paint smell to ours, it only has a slight wood smell. My best guess is that melissa & doug changed the products that they use on it since those reviews were written. The velcro seems very good, although we'll see how it will hold up to multiple kids over several years. You could probably replace the velcro with some effort, if it is needed - but i don't know that it would be the easiest job. -Notice from Z. Anonymous, Somerset

2 year old enjoys this toy so much, i've made it my mission to buy all melissa & doug cutting toys. I've already ordered the cookies as well! . She has so much fun cutting the foods, and outside of her stuffed animals from her favorite tv show, i would definitely say this was her favorite toy to date. I'm a full grown adult, and whenever i clean it up after she's gone to sleep, i myself enjoy a making a couple "cuts"- it really is so satisfying to hear the velcro! . The velcro is my main issue, though (the reason this is only 4 stars). It started off really strong, but after only 2ish weeks, it's already noticeably weaker. Still holds together though, but i worry at this rate that it may not even last 2 months. Also, velcro in general. I've read before that velcro, once wet, loses its adhesive properties. So i'm very worried she'll spill her juice or something and these will be ruined. But seeing as magnets would not stay separated the way velcro does, i don't really think this could be improved. But it is something to consider before deciding to buy this. Also, at her age, she's not very good at putting them back together. She can do the easy ones like the apple and the carrot, but the ones with multiple pieces or diagonal cuts where each piece has to be aligned in a specific way are much too difficult. So for a younger kid, be prepared to sit beside the child and continuously put them back together. But i'd say 2 1/2 - 3 years old, they'd probably be fine on their own.

- B. BullockMy 2y4m son loves cutting food and plays with it several times everyday. The paint job on the fruit is not excellent, but it doesn't effect the fun my son has. I was debating whether buying this or other brand with plastic cutting food, but i am glad i made the right decision. Because not only this wood food is true to size and easier for toddler to hold, the sound it makes when the cutting knife hit the cutting board is also realistic to the real action. I would recommend this set and i plan to buy another melissa & doug cutting fruit set to expend the kitchen toys.

My son is obsessed with this toy set. It was recommended by our speech therapist as a toy for open-ended play to encourage speech. She said it also encourages pre-writing skills (by teaching them to use one hand to hold the food while cutting with the other, the way they'll eventually hold a piece of paper with one hand as they write with the other). I never understood these sets, but now i do. Santa did good with this one.

So cute. This is perfect for any kid who likes to "cook" or mess with items on the restaurant table. The mustard and ketchup have thread that pops out when it's turned upside down. Everything is very realistic, to the point where my god daughter was wondering why the salt didn't shake out! she loved her gift and made many "meals" with it right after she opened it.

A must-have for the well-appointed play kitchen, these condiments sound and look like the real thing! packaged in a handy metal caddy to keep everything organized, the six-piece set includes ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper, and hot sauce.

So darn cute! i am a pre k teacher and this is so realistic. The salt and pepper shakers make sounds and looks like real stuff when they shake! the hot sauce has liquid inside that "pours" similar to doll milk or juice bottles. The ketchup and mustard have a string that pops out when you squeeze it. The kids just love it and it's pretty much indestructible! the stand is just like it comes from a diner or pizza parlor! i even tricked my 86 year old father at 4th of july and passed it to him for his hotdog. He got the biggest kick out of it! i think every home center in an early childhood classroom should have this! -Notice from R. Claudia, Oldham

My 3-year-old nephew is obsessed with both his play kitchen and with touching every single thing in a condiment container at every restaraunt we go to, so i figured this would be a hit and it very much was. He needed it opened right away, made me toast with all the fixings, and enjoyed pretending to "spray" people with the ketchup and mustard-a tiny red or yellow string comes out when you tip the bottle over, and the pepper and salt shake (but don't come out, to his confusion). Overall, he's enamored with it!

- L. HurstThis set is a favorite in my house. My daughters have a lot of pretend play items (especially food and kitchen items), but this set probably gets used most often. Even as an adult i am impressed with this toy. I just wish they had such cute stuff when i was younger! . . The mustard and ketchup bottles squirt little strings of yellow and red. The kids love squirting it on the fake food, but often they run around squirting it at one another. The salt and pepper shakers have little balls that actually shake around inside, and the hot sauce is like the disappearing milk in a bottle. It appears to drain out when you tilt it downward. The carry holder is a nice quality metal too. . This is the perfect complement to a kitchen set or a pretend restaurant.

What more can i say. Melissa & doug company knows how to make playtime just like real life. All of their toys are made just like mom's but in kid size. The grandkids look forward to every package that come in of melissa & doug toys. I think what i love the best about their toys are the quality of the toys. They will last forever! if you haven't purchased melissa & doug toys yet, try them out. Once you get your first order in you will be sold on their products. This product comes in a nice metal caddy that looks like stainless steel and the ketchup and mustard containers squirt string that retracts back in the bottles when you put them back upright. The salt and pepper shakers look like the real deal and the hot sauce is perfect for these kids here in louisiana.  melissa & doug condiments set
