Good for young imaginations
I bought these for my one and two year old granddaughters . They are just starting imaginary play and enjoy making foods for their babies. They’re just the right size for little hands and the materials are sturdy for opening and “pouring” the foods. Except for the bite few marks, they still look great.

Great for toddlers
My 23 month old loves these! He recognizes what the products are and will go pick out what he wants. I love that they have some funny things on the nutrition facts. The only downside is that they are somewhat easy to smash, especially for a clumsy toddler. We have taped some of the boxes closed in an effort to make them more sturdy.

Very sturdy!
Very thick pretend food boxes! Don't smash easily which is exactly what I was hoping for, a 3 yr old destroys most pretend food boxes within minutes and we've had these for over a week now and they are holding up very well!

We thought it would be actual play food....
My 7-year-old ordered this with her own money. So I didn't see that it would just be BOXES. When it arrived, I was very surprised. What kid will play with just cardboard boxes??? Apparently, my daughter will. We actually thought these were good quality. My kid loves pretending to make food for her "babies". 4 stars just because we didn't know they were going to be boxes, but that was us. :)

Kindergarten Grocery Store
I am a kindergarten teacher and have a classroom store for my students. These items are such a great addition to what we already have from the Melissa and Doug collection. I have had these for the last 2 years and they are still in such great condition. In the picture you can see the size comparison to the condiment items from Melissa and Doug. I bought 3 sets for my students "store shelf". I wanted them to have a grocery store that had more than 1 of each item. I did have to add some weight to the boxes by putting dry black beans in the box and taping the top and bottom of it so that it didn't fall over easily on the shelf. The wooden building frame and shelves are bamboo shoe racks that I purchased from amazon and are the perfect height for Kindergarteners!

The detail are just perfect!
Got these to go into our daughters’ M&D grocery store! The details on these (like everything M&D) are stunning! This is like a thick cardboard! If you have kids who are rough with their toys or are younger- I’d be a little hesitant to get this because it can be squished or ripped. My girls (ages 7 and 3) play wonderfully with these items and we haven’t had any “uh-ohs”! We’ve had for almost 2mo now. I hope this review has helped someone.

Awesome Play Kitchen
Purchased a ton of these and similar items for our daughters play room kitchen set up. She's constantly making us food and just loves them. Was able to get these and about nine other boxes of stuff and put out for her over a weekends time. She didn't know where they came from, but each day she found a new set of "play food". Keeps her entertained for hours.

If you already have a grocery store set up or shopping basket from Melissa and Doug and are looking for additional food, you know the card board is super soft and can get crushed pretty easily. Aside from them not being really sturdy or strong I’m still really happy with this product. I have a large container I put all the food into when we are done playing with it so my son doesn’t wreck them or my dog doesn’t walk on them.

Great pretend food boxes however it was so expensive essentially for just cardboard. I can’t fault the size, quality or presentation. Just wish it was a little cheaper.
