4.0 out of 5 stars Reliably good, but not exactly as expected January 4, 2010

Always had good luck with Doug & Melissa products. This one was no exception, but I will point out that I was a little surprised and disappointed that the "boxed groceries" (cereal, sugar, crackers, etc.) were only labeled/printed on one side of the package with the back side being just solid-color paint. A big deal? Not at all, but then again these aren't exactly cheap-o toys either, so these are the kinds of details that get noticed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice set, I guess August 31, 2011

I should begin by saying that these toys are really nice when compared to some of the cheaper plastic or cardboard items you find in stores. They are sturdy wood, nicely decorated, and my son really loves playing with them, which ended up being my problem. DEFINITELY follow the age guidelines on these (which I didn't, so the rest of the review is really about my poor judgement, but here it is anyway). We got him the Melissa & Doug shopping cart for his first birthday (which is AWESOME, by the way). Our in-laws bought him these to go in it and I didn't give more than a passing thought to the 36 month age requirement. Of course he decided the ketchup and salad dressing bottles looked like something he should suck on, and the paint started chipping off in his mouth. The sugar looks like it's chipping already, too, and he just bangs that one around. So if you have older kids that are more gentle and use their toys for imaginative play, these could be great. If you have younger children... I'd recommend finding something geared toward that age group, and don't make my mistake!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great addition to play kitche..No cardboard here... January 5, 2010

This is a great addition to our play kitchen, store, and shopping cart.

Pros:

Wooden - no worrying about cardboard boxes getting bent.

Graphics - great graphics on the front of the toy, but nothing on the back. I thought it would have been nice to put some information about the food on the back like on real food. Especially in a society where reading labels is a big part of knowing what you are eating.

Shape of the items - pretty good representation of the real items they represents. For example the spagetti is just like a pack of spagetti you would find in the grocery store.

Great value for play food that will last.

Cons:

Nothing on the back of the items

Heavy wood could cause pain if dropped on a little foot.

Heavy paint smell out the package... Would be a little worried if my little one put it in her mouth, but she is 5 and I don't have to worry. I point this out if it is purchased for a younger child.
