Learning Resources New Sprouts Lunch Basket, Pretend Play Food, 18 Piece Set, Ages 18 mos+

Best play food
We LOVE learning resources play food! It looks great and holds up well to rough playing toddlers. We initially had wood play food that was super cute but hurt a lot more when chucked straight at your face when your intense toddler chef/server aggressively serves your food “on the fly”. This food is just as cute as the expensive wood toys but our dog doesn’t have to seek shelter and we no longer have to wear helmets and face masks when playing kitchen.It is definitely worth the price and much better quality than other plastic play foods.

Just buy it.
At first I flinched at the price for a small toy food set when there’s countless others that have more for less money. But lemme stop you there. The detail and thought put into these toys is impressive. First off they’re not cheap plastic like a lot of other sets. They won’t crush when you step on them, and they’re not wood so they won’t hurt when thrown or chip paint when chewed on. Yes I’ve wasted money on wood and plastic sets and let me tell you I threw all that in the trash once this set got here. The texture is a durable rubber (think rubber dog toys). It’s squeezable but it’s not destroyable imo. My infant chews on the steak like it’s nobody’s business and my toddler chucks them clear across the room sometimes. I’ve stepped on a few by accident and to my surprise, no damage! (Lookin at you cheap plastic food toys). I’m absolutely going to purchase more sets from learning resources because the quality is just unmatched. I’ll never waste my money on wood or plastic food sets again. I’m a real parent, purchased this with my own money and have no incentives, just sharing my honest opinion to help other parents who may be on the fence.

Don’t hesitate, this play food is very well made!
I have reserched play food for my son’s new kitchen for WAY TOO MANY HOURS. I initially wanted M&D food, and then read how it chips terribly. I read many good reviews on Hape and Plan food, but I wanted one decent “starter” set for his kitchen, of real foods that he was familiar with that he could start making meals with. All of the sets for plan or hape are pretty themed…like a salad, pita, etc. I used to have the rubbery learning resources food when I was a kid and loved it. I went with the New Sprouts set over the other sets because I wanted it to be more toddler friendly in size. I had read the other playsets are “real life” sized. I LOVE this set. It is well made, and most pieces are pretty rubbery. A few feel really light, but are still very realistic and well made. My kids have been chewing on them, throwing them, and playing with them since we got it this week. So far, so good. I love the variety in this set. Stuff they actually will eat! Veggies, meat, and my son can’t get enough of the glass of milk. I will be purchasing the breakfast set, and either the lunch or munch it set for his birthday.

Another creative set from Learning Resources
Learning Resources play food is the best (in terms of playfood). This set does not disappoint. Most of the included pieces are found in other Learning Resource New Sprouts Play food sets, but it does have apple slices, swiss cheese, and a bowl of tomato soup with oyster crackers which seem to be unique to this set. My children love the juice box and the glass of milk. The pretzels and cookie are weightier than expected. The swiss cheese slice is thicker and larger than the other (perhaps american?) cheese slice. The glass of milk is about the same size as the empty glasses/cups Learning Resources makes and includes in other sets. The tomato soup with oyster crackers is creative, but compared to other “prepared foods” bowls that Learning Resources makes (cereal, macaroni and cheese, and oatmeal with blueberries), it lacks in texture and the details seem a bit sloppy (but perhaps they were trying to make the crackers seem emerged in the soup). The apple slices are to scale with the whole apple that comes in other sets. A slice is about 1/6th of an apple. I find it interesting that Learning Resources likes to include a slice of salami for the sandwich meat in sandwich sets. How often does someone use a slice of Salami for sandwiches? The turkey slice that comes with the Learning Resources LER9256 Sprouts Complete Play Food Set makes more sense. Also (and this is a minor complaint/suggestion), while my children love the glass of milk, it would be nice of Learning Resources made a half gallon or gallon of milk to encourage children to pretend to pour milk (an important skill when your child has sensory issues). Overall a good set.

So glad we bought this basket. Everything is made from high quality, soft and durable plastic. Unlike cheaper sets, the food items are very realistic and have a good weight. Just perfect for learning about different food, role play, and expanding your child’s food choices in a non-confrontational way.
