Ensemble de marché 30 pièces New Sprouts

Excellent toy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The quality of these items is unsurpassed. Whether being used for grocery store, making a meal or just playing with in the play kitchen, our grandchildren love playing with this product.

I received this product for review on my blog, Mommy and Me Giveaways. My son has had play food in the past, made by another brand, but it was wooden, and eventually looked pretty bad from teeth marks and scratches on it. Not to mention he throws his toys a lot and I was always worried a wooden apple would go straight through the window one day! This play food set includes a wide variety of foods and they are made of plastic, but nothing like those cheap hard plastic food sets you usually find on the value aisle at the toy store. Most of this plastic food is actually soft plastic and flexible, so when my son pretends to take a bite (and actually does take a bite!) he is not leaving teeth marks all over it. Some pieces are hard, but the quality of plastic is so much nicer and more durable than other plastic sets I've seen, and I'm not worried about him breaking it like I would with those "value" sets. The New Sprouts Deluxe Market Set encourages imaginative play, and it has also helped my picky eater learn about some new foods, although he still won't try the real thing! This set includes a lot of fruits and vegetables, but also has a lot of other yummy foods that little kids are more likely to love such as an ice cream sandwich, juice box, hot dog, and pretzels. My son will pretend to eat the fruits and vegetables too, although he eats very few real fruits and vegetables. We like to pretend to go to the market and then take our food on a picnic lunch. Now we just need a toy dish set and we'll be all set for our pretend meals!

We received the Sprouts Deluxe Market Set through a review program with Learning Resources. I have to say I am extremely impressed!! We have gone through LOADS of playfood with out play kitchen, with most of it being made from cheap, thin and flimsy plastic. They would get dented, deflated and make my kids frustrated since everthing would slip off a plate. The Sprouts Deluxe Market Set solves ALL those issues!! It's made from more of a durable, rubber like material making it pretty much impossible to be dented or deformed due to the air being squashed out. Plus the rubber like material makes it much easier for sandwiches to stay together and for everything to keep from slipping off a plate. All in all we are VERY happy with it and highly recomend it!
