- Is this safe for a 2-year-old?
- No. It is rated for ages 3 and up because the toppings are small enough to be a choking hazard. Wait until your child is past mouthing toys.
- How does the slicing work?
- Each cookie is held together with Velcro. The wooden knife slides between the halves to separate them, then they press back together.
- What comes in the box?
- 12 wooden cookies, 12 toppings, a wooden knife, a spatula, a cookie sheet and an oven mitt, packed in a dough tube.
- Does it need batteries or assembly?
- No. It is unpowered and comes ready to play with no assembly.
- How does it compare with plastic play-food sets?
- The wood pieces are heavier and more durable, and the slicing action is more tactile. Plastic sets are lighter and usually cheaper, but they crack and the cutting motion feels less real.
- How do I store it?
- The dough tube holds the cookies and toppings, and the knife, spatula and sheet stack alongside. It fits on a play-kitchen shelf.
