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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

This product is great -- My daughter and I love to cook things for Daddy and all her friends.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

USE TO HELP AUTISM CHILD WITH FOOD RECOGNITION

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

Our 15 month old daughter loves to make meals for daddy with the wide variety of food choices.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

Excellent way to teach children about all sorts of foods. Great way to enhance a play kitchen!

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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!!!!!!

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

no complaints. Great value that will keep kids entertained!

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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!

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

Very realistic ... though I'm afraid the sushi has spoiled. Loads of fun!

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

Very extensive

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

lots of pieces, all kinds of cuisine choices

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

A must have with the Lifestyle Deluxe kitchen. It makes your little cook very busy.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

My purchase was for my 2-yr-old granddaughter (Christmas gift) and she loves it!

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

It even comes with sushi!

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

Love it overall. Some parts too small and put up so sibling would not choke on.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

I love that this food is plastic and not easily breakable like the "play" boxed foods you buy at other stores.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

Most food looks very realistic.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

The food is varied including sushi and burritos! I find it imaginative,and my little one loves it.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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!).

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

very cute, my kids love it

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

The Children have a great time pretending to cook and serve meals just like Mommy.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

They were fine

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

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.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

The overall product is great and promotes wonderful imaginative play. The cardboard boxes are a little flimsy and won't last long.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

some fruit/vegetables too small, keep away from younger children who may put in mouth

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

Good product. My son is tough on everything and these hold up very well.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

some stuff i threw away right away

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

This products is durable and the perfect addition to my daughter's play kitchen. She loves 'making' meals and serving them to me and her daddy.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

My daughter loves this play food! She stopped playing with her old play food and plays solely with these. Some of the names on the "boxed" food is called something different then what we call it in the US (biscuits instead of crackers) and the celery piece cracks open at it's seam and it is difficult to tell what a few pieces are, but other then that it is a great play food pack.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

The food items are very, very small, not like the older ones that are life-sized that we are used to. They came vacuum-packed and were extremely smelly like chemicals. The products are not durable and are low quality. Many of the vegetables are already crushed from my 1-year-old stepping on them (he only weighs 20 pounds) and the canned goods have very flimsy paper labels on them that are not well-attached and will rip and tear. Next time, I would [...] and get some older play food sets that will actually last.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

This is a great set to have for your little one's play kitchen. The assortment of cans, packages, fruits, veggies etc are perfect for little hands and are fun to play with at all ages. If your child has a little shopping cart, all the pieces fit it with no problem for many hours of fun play. I highly recommend this as an accessory to the Step 2 kitchens.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

Step 2 Play Food is the best we have found. It is the most realistic looking around. My daughter loves playing with all the items that are found in this set!

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

I was pleased with the amount of items for the price and how they were just the right size for their Step2 kitchen. However, 101 pcs may be the piece count, but you must be aware that one piece is a slice of canteloupe and one piece is a half slice of pineapple. Still, I was not too disappointed with the purchase since there were so many pieces.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

At first my kids used to pick out a piece of food and would show it to me. I then would state the name of the piece of food. Now they pick up the piece of food and say what it is to me! It's very entertaining and I'm very impressed with my twins' language skills (it's common for twin's to have delayed speed) at 19 months.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

i think this product was great, except for the cardboard food boxes which last about a week.

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

Trashed it!!!

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

My two-year-old daughter loves this food set. Even after months of playing with it she still carries her favorite items around everywhere...the ice cream cones! After bringing it into her bath and finding trapped water inside, I discovered that it was easy for an adult (difficult for a child) to remove the ice cream portion from the cone for easy cleaning. The entire plastic portion of the set is easy to clean. I also love that the 'packaged' foods each have UPCs, ingredient listings, nutrition information tables, and everything else that is on real food packaging. Very realistic!

The only cons are that the sizes of some of the foods are not realistic (ex. the strawberry is approximately the same size as the apple/orange/pear). However, if they were proportional in size the set would take up a lot of storage room (a bigger negative since we have limited space); besides, my daughter doesn't seem to mind the unrealistic differences in size (it’s actually easier for her to hold and manipulate each item). Also, as I expected, the boxes are rather flimsy...she has crushed a few and torn a couple (trying to see if there was anything inside). She was also a little disappointed that the jars didn’t open, but I’m happy that they don’t (choking hazards). Lastly, when you buy this online it arrives in a brown, cardboard box with the food inside of sealed plastic bags, completely unlike what can be found in a store. If you are going to give this as a gift and purchase it online, be prepared to remove it from it’s original packaging and repackage it into something ‘nicer’ (perhaps a storage container for all of the pieces).

Overall, I would definitely recommend this product. In my opinion, the pros definitely outweigh the few cons. I know I will probably buy a few more sets as gifts!

Comments about Step2 Play Food Assortment:

Both my kids (4 year old & 2 year old) enjoy pretending with the Play Food Assortment. They watch me go shopping & now they can do the same with this wonderful set. They especially like to fill their shopping carts & pretend they are going to the Grocery Store.
