Play food

[manjay]

Does anyone have any recommendations for really good realistic play food? I would prefer wooden but will consider plastic if it is really good. I am not too concerned on price as I have quite a hefty budget

Any ideas?

I just put out a selection of real foods each day.

I tend to save packaging for them. Mini cereal boxes etc. Or do you mean fruit and veg?

I just put out a selection of real foods each day.

In an ideal world that is what I would do too but I just don't think it is practical to be able to supply enough of each food daily to give a good choice.

I am looking for healthy eating mainly and obviously I have searched online but recommendations are always better

We have this set and I think the food in it looks fairly realistic:

The Melissa and Doug range is excellent and you can buy it from Amazon using the forum link -

We have the food in this one and the fruit and veg cut up set and it's lasted ages

I have looked at those 3 thanks Sarah and Pixiepetal. I particularly like the crates by bigjigs. I have just bought the bigjigs sink and I am really pleased with that but I wondered if anyone had any of the food. It is really difficult to get a good idea online.

Another vote here for the Melissa and Doug range.

I was lucky enough to buy some 2nd hand but they are excellent quality, great variety and most importantly the kids love them!
