Melissa & Doug Model 271 Wooden Play Food Set, 21 Pieces with 4 Crates

The Melissa & Doug Model 271 Wooden Play Food Set is a sturdy wooden toy that brings pretend cooking and nutrition education to life. This set features wooden food items from all five food groups—watermelon, corn, milk, cheese, cereal, fish, eggs, and more. Children learn meal planning basics, nutrition fundamentals, and food group concepts while enjoying creative pretend-play activities.

This educational toy helps young learners develop early math skills through sorting and grouping, build color recognition, and practice organization. The set includes four wooden storage crates that organize food by category: dairy, produce, grains, and meat and fish. Kids can sort by food group, by color, or mix and match to create pretend meals, making cleanup and storage simple and part of the learning experience.
