Melissa & Doug Pasta Cooking Set, Kitchen Toy, Pretend play food montessori toy 3 year old, Wooden food for role play kids toy food, Gift for 3 year old boy or girl

This is a really great set, nicely combining felt, wood and plastic to produce a perfect combination of play food and cooking items. The wooden items have no rough edges, which is a perennial gripe of mine about Melissa & Doug products, and look well turned and painted. The plastic is sturdy and good quality. The felt, while rather rough to the touch, is well stitched and nicely coloured.Pros: a lovely set which encourages imaginative play. all items are well made and this set can be added to others, for example the condiments set, pizza set, coffee brew and serve etc. The box can be used as a cooking surface and sink, though my little one prefers to pretend this so she can set up wherever she wants.Cons: The pasta boxes we have found a little tough to get into and they make storing this set a little difficult. Nice tough ziplock pasta packets would have been better. They remember the cheese, but where is the pepper? The one in the condiments set is a shaker only. A cool little pepper grinder would have been fun. Why is there only one bowl and fork? the velcro fork in particular is a lovely touch. two of each item would encourage sharing instead of having to use other mismatching items.Overall a hit with my little girl and we would thoroughly recommend to anyone.

Bought for grandsons for Christmas he was excited to get it. But that’s all I know .. looked good!

My child loves it! It is a durable toy. The materials are sturdy. Highly recommend Melissa & Doug Toys.

Bought as a present but looks really exciting , can't wait to see it being played with

Amazing set my little one has loved making meals with the pasta set.

I was impressed by the strudiness of the pasta boxes - good thick cardboard so can’t be destroyed by small hands easily.Lots of nice touches, like the spoon and spaghetti sticking together so the children can scoop it out or putting fillings in the ravioli.Loads of pieces to play with.Exactly what I expected from Melissa and Doug. Would buy again

So nice to have something a bit different to the wooden food or the plastic ‘tins’. Great variety of products in the set and brilliant for imaginative play.

Ver realistic… good set of pretend food!
