Frequently Asked Questions
The Melissa & Doug Cutting Food set is designed for children aged 3 years and up. The velcro mechanism and wooden pieces are sized for preschoolers, and the food play concept is ideal for children aged 3-6 who love kitchen and cooking imaginative play.
Each wooden food piece is divided into halves held together by velcro. Children press the wooden knife across the velcro joint - the velcro separates with a satisfying ripping sound that closely mimics the feeling of cutting food. The halves can be pressed back together and cut again, allowing children to practise their chopping skills repeatedly.
The Melissa & Doug Cutting Food set includes a variety of beautifully painted wooden foods - typically including fruit such as apple, lemon, orange, and banana, as well as vegetables and other foods. Each piece is painted in realistic colours with detailed cross-section patterns showing the inside of each food when cut.
Cutting food play builds fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination as children manoeuvre the knife and handle the food pieces. It develops vocabulary as children learn food names and categories. Imaginative cooking play builds narrative thinking, sequencing, and social skills when played with others.
