Slice & Toss Salad Set

This is a great new set from Melissa and Doug. There is a great amount of stuff included with this(please see the list below). The different salads you can make is endless! I would highly recommend this set. Pros: I love the salad dressing bottles how the dressing drizzles out of the bottle with a string (this is much like the mustard and ketchup sets) The menu card is great as it gives my twin girls an idea of what to make. Therefore they can make a salad off the menu or they can come up with their own recipe The fork has velcro on it so you can "stab" the lettuce to take a bite The knife and cutting board provides great fun and my girls like to chop their veggies much like Mommy does in the kitchen The wooden tongs are a great addition so they can mix the salad The quality of the pieces is superb! Everything seems like it will hold up over time with the exception of the crouton box. This set provides great imaginary play as my girls can pretend to make salads like Mommy does pretty much every night. Cons: I wish it came with two bowls and two forks. I have two kids so it would be nice if they were both able to have a salad at the same time especially since there is enough pieces to make two salads at once. I wish it came in a wooden storage crate like many Melissa and Doug products have in the past. I wish the container of croutons was made of something a little stronger than cardboard. The cardboard boxes never seem to hold up over time. What's Included: One yellow salad bowl One fork with velcro Two salad dressing bottles (creamy ranch and Italian vinaigrette Cutting board and knife Two wooden serving spoons Plastic menu card that includes ingredient list and different salad recipes Plastic package of organic lettuce with five felt lettuce pieces Plastic package of organic spinach with six pieces of felt spinach Plastic package of organic kale with five felt kale pieces Cardboard box of croutons with 3 wooden croutons Cardboard can of olives with plastic lid and a cluster of four felt olives Two wooden slices of mushroom (you can velcro these together and slice) Three wooden slices of tomatoes (you can velcro these together and slice) Three wooden slices of green bell peppers (you can velcro these together and slice) Two wooden slices of chicken (you can velcro these together and slice) Three wooden carrot slices (you can velcro these together and slice) Three wooden cucumber slices (you can velcro these together and slice) Two wooden shrimps

Over priced

Sturdy, good quality

This is one of the best role playing food set I’ve seen in a while! The details and the dressing bottles that you can shake (hear the noise) and pour (cutest little lace effect). No lights, sirens or batteries. Just wood, simple yet attractive colours and shapes that invite the child to use their creativity to role play! It’s still a versatile set and open ended enough to keep the children interested and engaged. If you can’t have the real thing, this is as close as you’re gonna get. Melissa and and Doug never fail to amaze me!

Todo super realista, a mi hija le encanto.
