My grandson (3) was pleased and began using the kitchen more than usual. Also, he has a cash register that he found would ring up the food as he slide each piece on the scanner, he then proceded to bag the food in a recyleable bag and brought it "home" to prepare in the step 2 kitchen I have at my home so we can prepare dinners together.
from Oneida, TN on 7/2/2008
My son loves this product. The food is so realistic looking. He loves to play like he is fixing a plate. He has so much fun. I had looked at other play food and this has to be the best I have seen.
from Roseville, CA on 6/16/2008
Our 2-year-old daughter loves this food set. The pieces fit well within her Step 2 kitchen and accessories (pots, pans). Most foods are recognizable, although there are a few mysteries. It doesn't seem to bother our daughter one way or the other what the foods are ... she still has fun using them. Since this set is so large, we just put out about 1/3 of the foods at a time to minimize the clean up at the end of the day.
from Atco, NJ on 6/12/2008
This is a great set of food for the price. My son absolutely loves it! It has just about anything you can think of. The only problem I found was some of the pieces are on the small side. My son is 1 1/2 years and still likes to put some things in his mouth, so I had to take away a couple pieces. All in all, this is still the best food assortment I have found and with so many pieces included in the set, he never missed the few I had to remove. I would highly recommend this product.
from RSM, CA on 6/9/2008
Really 101 pieces. Most are identifiable, some require creativity in description (since my 2 1/2 yr old needs to know what each one is). Good size, though not to scale. I don't feel uncomfortable letting my 2 1/2 yr old share with my 9 month old since none of the pieces are small enough to swallow. My daughter likes to play grocery store and then cook me dinner in her kitchen.
from Vancouver, WA on 5/6/2008
This was a great food playset! The types of food vary and are really cute. They aren't exactly to scale, but I haven't had a child notice that yet.
from Dover, Ohio on 4/14/2008
This product is great -- My daughter and I love to cook things for Daddy and all her friends.

Over spring break, I purchased this set of food and the *fantastic* Step2 Party Kitchen. My goal for the purchases was to encourage my 18 month old son to engage in more imaginative and interactive play. This set of play food provides wonderful variety and the pieces are good representations of the foods. Upon seeing the peas, my son said "Peas!!" with delight. One great thing about the food is that it is made of different kinds of plastics that help enhance the item. As examples, the cheese slice is bendable and smooth, the bell peppers are shiny, and the pineapple slice is textured and shaped like a slice. It is "just some plastic food" but it is well done. None of the pieces violate the official choking hazard but I did throw away the three french fries because they were small (but nicely scaled to the hamburger.) This leaves us with 98 pieces of play food which is more than enough. As to the made in China issue, I am concerned, but I have trust in Step2, my son seems to need some play food and this was the best alternative I found.
from Niceville, FL on 4/12/2008
We were surprised to find multi-cultural foods included in the set; i.e., sushi, tacos, and some we aren't even sure what they are. :-) But our 22-month-old granddaughter is delighted to use & pretend to eat what is there and enjoys having a bigger selection. The minute she walks in our door, she takes Grandma or Grandpa's finger and says "Kitchen?" - that's all she's interested in doing while visiting. Thanks for enhancing her Kitchen play time with these great accessories.

I would not let her have them, afraid of what is in the plastic they are made from. I do not use things from China.

My 25 month old loves this food set along with her new Dream Kitchen. The fruits and veggies are great (she pretends she is shopping at the Farmer's Market). The scale is off on everything (for example, the celery stalk is not much larger than the strawberry), but it doesn't matter - she doesn't seem to notice. There are multiples of some items, so we practice counting. I especially like the ethnic food that was included because it represents food we eat. I was pleasantly surprised to discover the tofu, and bottle of soy sauce. The fettucine noodles double as Japanese udon noodle in our house, and the spaghetti as soba noodles. They are perfect with the shrimp tempura! I removed the food we don't eat in our house like doughnuts, fries, and bacon. My preference would be for the play set to only have healthy food (i.e. it was missing carrots), but with 100 pieces to choose from, it should have wide appeal for all.
from Orlando, FL on 3/9/2008
Excellent way to teach children about all sorts of foods. Great way to enhance a play kitchen!

from Jericho, NY on 3/3/2008
This is a great product and I was impressed with the diversity of food types. My only complaint would be that some of the pieces are very small and I had to take them out of the set before giving it to my 21 month old daughter.
from Kansas on 2/25/2008
I run a daycare and the kids LOVE the food to cook with in their new walk in kitchen! The ice cream cones did come apart rather quickly and they do have pointy ends so adults need to keep an eye on this with younger children but we still just LOVE the play food! It has been a wonderful addition to the daycare kids!!!!!!
from Florida on 2/18/2008
Great variety, still trying to figure out what some things are.
Hard to wash individual pieces seeing that there are over 100 pieces. So, I washed them in sink and left overnight but pieces which have small holes in them were still dripping water.
from Plano, TX on 1/7/2008
no complaints. Great value that will keep kids entertained!
from Houston, Tx on 1/6/2008
Our 2.5 yr old enjoys playing with her kitchen set and play food. The pieces are very colorful with some attention to detail, however some are rather small and may pose a choking risk - particularly the french fries, onion rings, etc. Not a big deal though, we just removed them from the "pile" until our daughter is a little older.
from Winston Salem, NC on 1/4/2008
These toys are extremely well-made. We have gone through many sets of play food that would split or tear...these show no signs of wear. We had some of these that had come with our kitchen set we bought last year that have held up so well and I was so excited to find out we could order more!
from Pennsylvania on 1/4/2008
I love that this food set has a variety of food from fruit to tacos to sushi. Unfortunately, the proportions could be improved. For example, the shrimp are larger than the eggplant and the strawberry and orange are the same size. I also wish it had some packaged items like milk, rice, cereal, etc. Since the set is recommended for ages 3+, there were some items that posed a choking hazard and had to be removed until my daughter (2 years) is older. But since there are so many pieces, we don't mind a few missing ones. But, it would be nice if Step 2 would make food accessories for younger children since they make kitchens for them. In all, though, the food is lots of fun to pretend with and there's so much of it that you can create a menu larger than most restaurants. Just make sure you wash it all first. It helps with the plastic smell.
from Woodstock, NY on 1/4/2008
Very realistic ... though I'm afraid the sushi has spoiled. Loads of fun!
from Delta, CO on 1/2/2008
We got this along with the Dream Kitchen for our two year old for Christmas and she loves all of it. She loves cooking and bringing you something to eat. She has so much fun.

I thought this set included cookware too. Most of the foods a re repeated. There are way too many. I was also comcerned about the fact taht they were made in China.

from Seoul, South Korea. on 1/2/2008
When the package arrived I opened the box to find the food packaged in plastic bags. Overall...durable food set, but sort of lacks something realistic.
I don't know some item's correct name. So I'm searching the name. I think it is very thankful and fantasy, if the one who have the correct name of the all items with mathing the picture.
from Trinidad, CO on 1/2/2008
We purchased this set with the Deluxe Kitchen and are glad we did. The variety is wonderful. We could do without the donuts and other pastries, but otherwise it is great. There are mexican, american, italian, sushi, etc. selections of food. Plus there are a lot of fruits and vegetables. We aren't quite sure what a few of the foods are, but that is where a little childhood creativity can come into play. I would definitely recommend this set to anyone who has purchased or is purchasing a kitchen for their child.
from Washington, DC on 1/1/2008
Very extensive
from Lebanon, TN on 1/1/2008
This food assortment is a must for any kitchen! The variety of foods are amazing and there always at least 2 of each item. For example there are cookies, meats, breads, eggs, cauliflower, peas, beans, fruits and even sushi and soy sauce. Excellent variety of food types and also group choices such as breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack items. There are not any beverage items which would have been nice. We bought this in conjunction with the Deluxe Kitchen and we are glad we did as the kitchen did not come with any food items but the kitchen has ample storage for all 104 items.
from Springville, UT on 12/31/2007
The food assortment is excellent. There are a few small pieces of food that could be swallowed by young children. We had to go through the food and put some away.
from Valencia, CA on 12/30/2007
lots of pieces, all kinds of cuisine choices
from St. Petersburg, Florida on 12/29/2007
I like the play food set. My three children love to cook with it. I would have liked to seen some containers with milk, sugar, flour - some ingredients for them to cook with. Other that that - great accessories.
from Holly, MI on 12/29/2007
I bought this set to be used with the Deluxe Kitchen. There are a wide variety of foods included and it rounded out her playset nicely.
from Michigan on 12/29/2007
We bought this set as an accessory to the Step2 Deluxe Kitchen. It was a good match, and my daughter is loving it. I like the fact that the set goes beyond the standard hot dog and hamburger fair (although those are included, too) and offers a large variety of items and toppings.
from Los Angeles, CA on 12/28/2007
A must have with the Lifestyle Deluxe kitchen. It makes your little cook very busy.
from salt lake city utah on 12/27/2007
My daughter loves all of the different food. I am hoping that by playing with so many different foods that she will start to eat them. This is a great product
from Ramstein, Germany on 12/27/2007
My daughter absolutely loves pretending to cook and taste all of the food. She tries to involve anyone else that happens to be near by. It is also teaching her different food names and textures.
from Bronx, NY on 12/27/2007
The step 2 food assortment was a hit on xmas morning. We got it to go with Lifestyle Kitchen and things could not have gone better. Thanks so much for your products STEP2.
from Erie, CO on 12/27/2007
My purchase was for my 2-yr-old granddaughter (Christmas gift) and she loves it!
from Oklahoma City, OK on 12/27/2007
It even comes with sushi!
from Edgewater, Fl. on 12/27/2007
My girls, ages 2 and 4, have the Step 2 kitchen and they love to cook and serve food to eveyone. They take turns being the chef. They both love it.
from Urbandale, IA on 12/27/2007
Love it overall. Some parts too small and put up so sibling would not choke on.
from Auburn, NE on 12/26/2007
I love that this food is plastic and not easily breakable like the "play" boxed foods you buy at other stores.
from Brookville, PA on 12/26/2007
Most food looks very realistic.
from usa on 12/26/2007
The food is varied including sushi and burritos! I find it imaginative,and my little one loves it.
This product was made in China! Which wouldn't normally bother me except there have been very many recalls on toys made in China due to excessive lead paint. Though I am sure this would be posted if it were an issue. The fact that it could be still concerns me.
I'd also like to add that this is a very appealing set and far more interesting than any of the food sets I had seen growing up.
from New York CIty on 12/24/2007
We love that in addition to the usual foods (hot dog, hamburger, bread, orange...) it also has some fun unique ones like sushi and soy sauce and ice cream cones.
from KoP, PA on 12/19/2007
Love this product. The pieces are solid, cute and realistically designed. The price is awesome. [...] A safe product.Just note, the French Fries are the only concern of choking hazard I have. My daughter is nearly 2 and won't eat it, but younger kids might. Only 2 pieces out of 100+, still worth it (just take them out!).
from NY on 12/18/2007
Pieces are too small for my son... pose a choking hazard esp. the "french fries," "hot dog" and sushi. Rule of thumb.. if it fits in a paper towel roll they can choke.. most of these do. Very disapointed.
from new york on 12/6/2007
very cute, my kids love it
from Banks, Oregon on 11/30/2007
The Children have a great time pretending to cook and serve meals just like Mommy.
from Leominster MA on 11/29/2007
I bought this product to go along with my 1 and half year old daughters dream kitchen. She loves to prepare me food and pretend she is eating what she cooks.
from Oregon on 11/29/2007
I love the variety of foods in this set. It's nice to see a few items that are different than the usual veggies, fruits, pizza, and cookies. The box food won't last long of course but they will be fun for a while.
from Bridgeport, WV on 11/27/2007
This was purchased to go along with my daughter's Deluxe Kitchen. Great variety and wonderful quality. Much better than anything else I have seen.
from Bridgewater, NJ on 11/25/2007
Although there was alot of food, you couldn't tell what alot of the designs were. I think it would be more fun if you incorporated milk, juice, butter, jelly, etc. Things that are more commonly used. The sushi is funny and my two year old son now walks around and says sushi and laughs, but I would like to see more practical "everyday" type foods and drink.

from San Diego, CA on 11/6/2007
Great food set - lots of different foods. Not all pieces are suitable for small children but we just keep those out of reach for now.
from Fremont,CA on 10/30/2007
I think the food is made to small for the age group. I had to remove the small pieces as I had fear any age group may put in mouth.
from Michigan on 10/27/2007
I was surprised that 101 pieces of food came in a box the size of a shoe box. The play food also seemed more oriented to the West Coast area and not the Mid-West.
from CA on 10/19/2007
The assortment we received was very different than what was pictured. There were not any "cans" or "boxes"... and although it is a little silly to have sushi and fried shrimp in a food playset - it's a cute assortment for the most part and serves its purpose.
from Scarsdale, NY on 10/10/2007
My granddaughter of 18 months loves these foods, and she is learning their names. She uses them in her "kitchen" and loves to "cook" for everyone.
from Stillwater, OK on 9/27/2007
The pieces are sturdy, but some of the food pieces are very difficult to tell what they are. We were disappointed finding out that this was NOT made in the USA, like the majority of their other products are. The pieces are very sturdy and will last a very long time.
from Claremont, NC on 9/6/2007
They were fine
from Plano, TX on 7/31/2007
I bought this to go with the kitchen set my granddaughter got for her birthday. She loves to "serve" you her food and she can tell you
what each item is.
from Huntington Beach, CA on 7/27/2007
My daughter really love to play with this food and it has held up very well, since she is still putting everything in her mouth. We have not given her the can good with the paper wrap just yet.
from Florida on 7/6/2007
This product would be better suited to 5 year olds, my daughter who is 3 still in the age requirements crushed the boxes and ripped off the labels. The plastic foods were excellent though.
from Pittsburgh, PA on 6/24/2007
The only downfall I found in the food assortment was the price. I found a similar set at my local toy store for [$] and it came with a handy little basket to store the stuff in. Even some of the designs of the food items were incredibly similar, which I found odd because it isn't the same company. Great product, just a bit overpriced.
from Old Bridge, NJ on 5/23/2007
The overall product is great and promotes wonderful imaginative play. The cardboard boxes are a little flimsy and won't last long.
