What age is PlanToys Wonky Fruit & Vegetables for?

PlanToys rates it for ages 2 and up. The pieces are chunky, but the small cut-apart parts still warrant supervision with children who mouth toys.

What is included in the set?

Six wooden pieces: fruit and vegetable halves that separate with a hook-and-loop cut joint. There is no knife, board or storage bag in the box.

Is the paint safe if my child chews on it?

PlanToys uses water-based, non-toxic dyes on chemical-free rubberwood. That said, no wooden toy is meant for chewing, so redirect mouthing to a teether.

How does it compare with plastic play food?

It is heavier, quieter and more durable than most plastic sets, and the wonky shapes are a deliberate design choice. It costs more and offers fewer pieces than a typical plastic bucket set.

Does it work with a play kitchen?

Yes. The pieces are sized for toddler play kitchens and pair well with PlanToys cutting sets and other wooden food.

Is it worth buying over a bigger wooden food set?

It is a compact starter set rather than a full play kitchen stock. If you want variety, pair it with other PlanToys cutting sets; if you want one small, durable gift, six pieces is enough.
