Learning Resources New Sprouts Grill It! Barbecue Set - 22 Piece Set, Ages 18+ Months Toddler Learning Toys, Preschool Toys, Pretend Play Food, Outdoor Play Food Toys

Works for my Granddaughter...

This darling basket of soft plastic picnic foods really resonates with old fashioned play time.Even my grand toddler shows excitement in the shapes , the colors of the pretend food ,and the catsup and mustard bottles. It is the perfect toy for two to play and pretend with.My whole family loved this set for our little girl.The shapes are big enough and colorful enough to make it fun to handle.The basket is sturdy and the hamburgers come apart so you can pretend to make sandwiches.Im sixty and it brought me back in time remembering these type of childhood musings. A perfect culinary childhood set.

Bought for a 3 year old birthday gift- also bought the New Sprouts Just Desserts to go with it. Too many toys are electronic now days. ALL kids love pretend food. Good quality and looked good enough to eat.

If you have a young toddler and an older child, this picnic basket set is fun and safe for them both, plus there is enough for them both to share with equal pieces (so no fighting!). PROS: *Encourages imaginative play and sharing. *Play food items store in the basket for easy clean up. *The pieces are durable and are of a higher quality, for example, when the ketchup and mustard bottles are squeezed (or even sat on!) they hold up and pop back out to original shape with no white creasing marks left behind. Just because I am a perfectionist I picked up on a few things that may not bother others. CONS: *The baskets color is not true to the picture. The basket I received was more of an orange-yellow, instead of a true yellow. I hate to say it, but it was an ugly color. *The watermelon slices are missing something, seeds. *The string that ejects from the ketchup and mustard when squeezed I thought bordered on clever but was a bit cheesy. *Speaking of cheesy, cheese please! That was one of the first things my daughter said, Mommy, theres no cheese. *When all items are placed inside the basket, its a little weighty. *While two of the same thing are nice for siblings so they have equal pieces, I would have appreciated more variety. Perhaps one pink cupcake, one blue and one hamburger, one hot dog, etc. With all that said, would I recommend it.... My daughter liked it, but I think the play set is just so-so. I really cant get past the color of the basket (it really is ugly), the pieces are redundant, so I would be more no than yes.

Nice quality and kids like it

My 6 and 4 year olds love playing with this. Super cute and fun addition to their kitchen set.

I just love all the products by Learning Resource. They are such great quality and the colors are always spot on. All my children enjoy everything Ive gotten from them. The play food is thick plastic and wont break if stepped on by a kid.

Awesome packaging! As described and pictured.

My 2 year old granddaughter loves this, plays with it constantly.

This picnic basket is first off adorable! It is the perfect size for little hands to carry and fits just enough inside for them. Since its cold out now, we have been having picnics inside and my kids think its so cool. With the set you get enough food for two plates worth plus the basket and condiments. I like how the meals include a piece of fruit and a treat in addition to the hamburger. The food is also not the cheap flimsy food that you buy a 50 piece set for $5 - it is a more durable plastic/rubber material. This food is definitely strong enough to last many playtime meals. The ketchup and mustard even have a string that you can push in or pour out to stimulate real ketchup/mustard pouring out. My favorite though is the cute little basket. It has become my 18 month olds carry all for everything. From play food to My Little Ponys to book, she loves her basket. I would recommend this set for any mom looking for a new toy for their childs play kitchen or something fun for outside play. Its also gender neutral which is nice! I received this product to review in exchange for my honest opinion.
