I was so impressed with this play food set! I have two children and they absolutely love playing with it!!!! I didn’t have any of the problems as the other person stated. I do think that the person who had such problems should contact learning resources ( you get what you pay for and they probably have great customer service!!). Anyways, I would definitely recommend this product for all reasons. Definitely worth the price in my opinion. I don’t think anything is going to crack as they have already hit the floor numerous times.

I bought these as a present for my 19 month old daughter. I needed food that was extremely realistic and also durable. She’s very into pretend play and that’s why I needed food that looked real. After reading all of the reviews, it was down to this set and the 101 piece set from Step 2. This one may cost more but, it’s totally worth the money and there are so many pieces of good food. I also like that most of them are healthy foods. The reviews for the Step 2 product were not nearly as great as the ones for this set. My daughter plays with it every day and has even learned about a few new types of food and what they are called. This is definitely the best set of play food out there!

This is the best play food set out there. Santa brought this for my 4 year old son and it looks so real he doesn’t have a problem identifying any of the foods. I have been looking everywhere for the learning resources food. My biggest advice is to shop around for the best price. I shopped online through many stores and finally found this one for $80. It is expensive but worth the price. Very durable and life like. This one is great to because it comes with the case to carry the food in. My other favorite thing is that is doesn’t come with any of those cardboard boxed play food items. My son had those before and they were ripped apart in no time. Who wants to cook cereal anyway. Buy this product!!

We got this food set for our 20 month old daughter for Christmas but the ones that really took to it were my 4 and 6-year-old kids. They have played non-stop with it since Christmas. The food is amazingly realistic and durable. Combine it with a grocery cart and cash register and your kids will have hours of fun playing restaurant or grocery store. I would highly recommend this product. Well worth the cost (although I did get a pretty good deal when I purchased mine). It comes with a complete set of food. I especially like that the emphasis is on healthy foods, not a bunch of junk food. Excellent toy.

I was so excited to see the price drop on this item during the holiday. My kids love play food but most of the cheap stuff fell apart and split at the seams after heavy use by my kids. This set is great – the pieces are larger than most play food I’ve bought, it’s sturdy and my kids have a lot of fun playing with it.
**Updated** When I bought this in Dec 2007, I got it on sale for $36 thru Amazon. I wasn’t necesarily in the market for play food, but the price was great and the reviews were too. A year later – all three of my kids (6 and under) still love to make “meals” with this food set and it’s held up exceptionaly well. If you can find it for a price you are willing to pay – I would definitely buy it.

I got this set for my son for Christmas to go along with a play kitchen we purchased him. I was fortunate to NOT pay full price for this set, which I do agree is overpriced. I noticed today it is full-price after Christmas. We paid around $71. I wanted to share the list of included items with everyone, because that is one thing I really felt was missing from the product description.
This set includes: Apple, Pear, Orange, Banana, Cucumber, Corn, Green Pepper, Carrot, Tomato, Potato, Red Onion, Steak, Peas, Celery, Dinner Roll, Pizza (1 slice), Taco, Flan, Cake (1 slice), Pretzel, Muffin, Pancake, Hot Dog, Hot Dog Bun, Big Bun, Egg Roll, Sushi, Croissant, Bagel Top, Bagel Bottom, Spanish Rice, Hamburger Patty, Hamburger Bun Top, Hamburger Bun Bottom, Potato Chips (4), Watermelon Slice, Ice Cream Cone, Glass of Milk (2), Chicken Leg, Corn on the Cob, Mashed Potatoes, Asparagus Stalks (3), Head of Lettuce, Fried Egg, Bacon Slices (2), Glass of Orange Juice (2), Strawberries (4), Slices of White Bread (4), Slices of Wheat Bread (2), Slices of Cheese (3), Slices of Bologna (2), Salami Slice, Turkey Slice, Tomato Slice (2), Leaf of Lettuce, Oval Braided Bread, French Bread, English Muffin Half, Spaghetti, Spaghetti/Meatball Sauce, Fried Dumpling.
Basically, this means that you get the Learning Resources Breakfast Foods, Lunch Foods, Dinner Foods, Sandwich Set, Produce Set, Fruit & Vegetable Set, Multicultural Breads & Multicultural Foods sets if you were purchasing those sets individually. When I purchased the classroom set, it was much cheaper to buy this larger group. And, the plastic storage bin it comes in is very handy. I would definitely describe this set as an all-inclusive food set with no need to buy any additional food!
Overall, the food is very durable & for the most part easily identifiable. I had to identify things like a fried dumpling & sushi to my 2-year old. It wasn’t because they were poorly designed, though…just not seen as often in his day-to-day diet! All the basic food groups are well represented, and the food will allow any child to create up a variety of imaginary dinners. All in all, this is a really great set! ENJOY!

If you want realistic, durable play food that is fun to play with, buy this. It really comes with everything needed for your little one’s play kitchen. Everyone who’s seen it is amazed at the high quality.
LOVE IT. Don’t waste your money on lower quality, less realistic play food. This is totally worth it.

I bought this to accompany the kitchen set I bought for my 2yr old. After seeing the dissapointing selection of play food available in stores I was ecstatic to find this set. The food is life size and is comparable to the play food used in children’s museums. It’s made of thick rubbery plastic look realistic. It is very durable. I can imagine it lasting for many future generations of children in our family. It also comes with some cool food items like tacos, asparagus, and sushi that are not seen in other sets.
Another plus is the absence of the crappy canned food and the minimal amount of junk food (just two slices of pizza, not 10). Of course there is some cake and ice cream cones (you gotta have the cake!) but there is also a lot of vegetables and fruit. The sandwich stuff is pretty cool too. There are slices of bread, lunch meat and cheese to construct your own sandwich.
Bottom line, this is a top quality food set that will stand up to many years of play.

You should buy this set if you want very realistic play food and/or you have a child younger than 3 years. This is the most realistic play food, in both appearance and size. I have a child with food aversions, for whom I needed play food that looks very much like real food for therapeutic play. These pieces have great coloring and detail. The pieces in this set are generally about 75% of actual size (some closer to 50%, others 100%), adding to the realism. Size is also important if you have a toddler under age 3. Most food sets have many pieces that are too small for toddlers (i.e. choking hazards). The only pieces in this set that are of questionable safety in terms of shape or size are the hot dog and possibly the strawberries. I have seen this play food at the local children’s museum and libraries, and it appears to stand up well to use (including much chewing) by many children. Compared to other available sets in terms of quality, realism, and safety, this set is definitely worth the money.

I Bought this for my 3 children, they love it! Food is close to normal size, glad it’s not super tiny food. Pretty much the best play food set that I have come across and believe me I’ve been looking for a while. Glad I decided on this set, very happy.
