Learning Resources New Sprouts Breakfast Foods Basket - 16 Pieces, Ages 18+ months Pretend Play Food for Toddlers, Toddler Kitchen Toys, Preschool Learning Toys

It’s a great set & there are a variety of different things. These look great with my son’s little kitchen set, super durable. The colors on the fake food, make them look so real, lol! Overall super helpful for my little one to use his imagination more!

Good plastic, seems to have held up

The media could not be loaded. Learning Resources has the best play food for small kids IMO! This was the first set I bought for my 1 year old. After having them for 6 months I can say the material is durable, easy to clean, and it’s the perfect size. I love using them for food identification/classification activities as well as regular pretend play (yes, I enjoy playing with this set too 😂).

We LOVE learning resources play food! It looks great and holds up well to rough playing toddlers. We initially had wood play food that was super cute but hurt a lot more when chucked straight at your face when your intense toddler chef/server aggressively serves your food “on the fly”. This food is just as cute as the expensive wood toys but our dog doesn’t have to seek shelter and we no longer have to wear helmets and face masks when playing kitchen.It is definitely worth the price and much better quality than other plastic play foods.

At first I flinched at the price for a small toy food set when there’s countless others that have more for less money. But lemme stop you there. The detail and thought put into these toys is impressive. First off they’re not cheap plastic like a lot of other sets. They won’t crush when you step on them, and they’re not wood so they won’t hurt when thrown or chip paint when chewed on. Yes I’ve wasted money on wood and plastic sets and let me tell you I threw all that in the trash once this set got here. The texture is a durable rubber (think rubber dog toys). It’s squeezable but it’s not destroyable imo. My infant chews on the steak like it’s nobody’s business and my toddler chucks them clear across the room sometimes. I’ve stepped on a few by accident and to my surprise, no damage! (Lookin at you cheap plastic food toys). I’m absolutely going to purchase more sets from learning resources because the quality is just unmatched. I’ll never waste my money on wood or plastic food sets again. I’m a real parent, purchased this with my own money and have no incentives, just sharing my honest opinion to help other parents who may be on the fence.

I have purchased two of these sets to go with a toy kitchen. After looking at so many of them, I felt that this set had the most realism to the pieces. I keep one set here for my grandchildren to play with and at Christmas bought another set for one of my granddaughters who got a toy kitchen. A lot of play food sets look so fake and cheap. This is the nice one!!! I highly recommend it.

Learning Resources play food is the best (in terms of playfood). This set does not disappoint. Most of the included pieces are found in other Learning Resource New Sprouts Play food sets, but it does have apple slices, swiss cheese, and a bowl of tomato soup with oyster crackers which seem to be unique to this set. My children love the juice box and the glass of milk. The pretzels and cookie are weightier than expected. The swiss cheese slice is thicker and larger than the other (perhaps american?) cheese slice. The glass of milk is about the same size as the empty glasses/cups Learning Resources makes and includes in other sets. The tomato soup with oyster crackers is creative, but compared to other "prepared foods" bowls that Learning Resources makes (cereal, macaroni and cheese, and oatmeal with blueberries), it lacks in texture and the details seem a bit sloppy (but perhaps they were trying to make the crackers seem emerged in the soup). The apple slices are to scale with the whole apple that comes in other sets. A slice is about 1/6th of an apple. I find it interesting that Learning Resources likes to include a slice of salami for the sandwich meat in sandwich sets. How often does someone use a slice of Salami for sandwiches? The turkey slice that comes with the Learning Resources LER9256 Sprouts Complete Play Food Set makes more sense. Also (and this is a minor complaint/suggestion), while my children love the glass of milk, it would be nice of Learning Resources made a half gallon or gallon of milk to encourage children to pretend to pour milk (an important skill when your child has sensory issues). Overall a good set.

Bought this for my 2 year old because we didn’t have many meats for our play kitchen. The food is sturdy and seems like it will hold up well over time. The basket is also great because it holds all the items nicely. Overall, it seems like a great quality product!
