Wooden Fruits - by Wonderworld


Today I'll take a look at some more wooden play food this time by Wonderworld. Again made in Thailand these nicely made wooden fruits come in a small wooden crate. Some are cuttable (small wooden
knife included) pieces being held together by velcro.

The pieces are slightly smaller than the Santoy food and are aged appropriately at 3 plus.

Whilst being nicely made I can't help preferring the Santoy range especially as the price is broadly similar.

Toy Guru Verdict 3/5. You wont be disappointed but there are better choices avaliable. Price about £12.00

Wooden Vegtables


Re-visiting one of the most popular imaginative play themes pretend cooking.

Today I'll take a look at another Santoy product the solid wooden vegtables which come in a net bag.

These are really nicely made and have a strong durable finish which doesnt chip easily. The Santoy food range always seems to hit the mark and along with the Haba toy food range is probably the best around.

These wooden vegtables obviously work just as well in pretend shop play, and can often be found in UK day nurseries and play groups.

The Toy Guru Verdict 4/5 - a really nice set of 17 vegtables, durable tough and colourfull.

Cuttable Wooden Cake


One of the most popular imaginative play themes is cooking play for both boys and girls.

I'll take a look at the birthday cake first. The toy is made from wood, the slices held together by Velcro which allows it to be cut using the supplied wooden knife. It also comes on a wooden plate the candles are included and slot in/out.

Its a great toy, simple in design but with lots of play value.

Aged 3+ on the box but as you know children often like this type of play from around 2 onwards (adult supervision advised). Interestingly the chocolate cake in the range says 2+ maybe the candles make it 3+

Made by Santoy in Thailand and currently distributed in the UK by both Bigjigs and Earlybird.

The Toy Guru Rating - Firm favourite: 4/5 well made hard to chip the paint off and easy to play with. Price around £10.
