User Submitted 101 Piece Play Food Assortment Reviews (cont...)Date: 2006-01-05 Cheaply made! Not what it appears to be! I agree with a previous review that you get what you pay for. But in the future I would highly recommend paying more once instead of having to replace this food in a few months or so. We received this as a gift and from the outside it looked like an great choice! I was very happy. But we have had this package of food for about one week and I am already taping boxes with packaging tape to keep them together. Little hands can pull apart the milk, juice and snack boxes in no time. The cans of food are so small that they topple over easily in the play kitchen. The pies, pizza, and such food are all actually hollow underneath. There is no base to them. They tell you 101 pieces but in our kit it counted 8 hotdogs (without buns), 12 individual french fries and the same on potato chips. Not necessary especially since you also get two french fry packets in a french fry container and you get a hot dog in a bun separately. Why would my child want four jalepenos too. So much of this food is not they type of thing a small child would be familiar with. Anyway, in my opinion spend the money on a smaller quantity of higher quality food or go online and find the "vintage" Fisher Price or Little Tikes food. Now those are made to last and of good size for small hands. Date: 2005-12-28 I'm not impressed... you get what you pay for I suppose, yet I still feel cheated I love step2 products, my daughter is only 2 yrs old but we already have MANY of their items. We decided to get her the lifestyle deluxe kitchen for the holidays this year & needed to get her some playfood to go along with it, I really wanted wooden sets but after spending over $200 on the kitchen I decided I'd go with the step2 plastic... big mistake! As another reviewer mentioned there is no retail packaging, they come in plastic bags. The plastic pieces are tiny, very thin, and sized strangely (ie a banana is smaller then an egg etc), the "boxes" are a joke, they are smaller and weaker then your typical snack size raisin box... I didn't even dare give them to my toddler as they'd have been ruined in 2 seconds. The "jars" are also very small and instead of interesting as one reviewer said they are just odd, disgusting sounding food items and very boring design. Having nothing else on hand I did give these to my daughter, she seems to like them well enough but I will be buying her some wooden playfoods soon and tossing these up on ebay or a garage sale. Not recommended. Date: 2005-11-28 Food is Much Smaller Than Anticipated & Poor Quality If you are looking for play food that is like little tikes or fisher price, this is not it!! There is a reason you get 101 pieces for 19.99!! These pieces are much smaller and made from a thinner cheaper plastic. Not at all what i expected from a quality company like step 2. To top it off, this set does NOT come in a retail box but is cheaply packaged in plastic bags. I am sure my daughter doesn't mind these are cheaply made or small but i sure as heck do. I could have bought a Kidconnection set from walmart for less money and maybe even of better quality! Date: 2005-10-21 My daugter was 2 1/2 My daughter was 2 1/2 when I gave this to her. I use it to teach her food groups and to encourage her to taste the real version. Pretend "invisible" food is fun, but for a little one who has a lot to learn about different foods, to touch and to see is worth 1000 words! Date: 2005-01-21 very detailed My 16 month old loves her new groceries. The produce & sandwich parts are plastic & each piece has a wonderful texture. The canned goods are very interesting to read. They are actually labeled by a supermarket in the UK, so they are a bit different from the groceries you would find in the US. I put the cardboard frozen food items away until she is older. She has been entertained at length because each piece is so intricate. This was a great purchase.
