Who wants a piece of fruit? This beautiful wooden fruit set is ready for playtime. The Melissa & Doug Cutting Fruit set includes a wooden knife and seven pieces of sliceable fruit that can be cut into a total of 17 pieces. The pieces are held together with self-stick tabs, so the food makes a fun and satisfying "crunch" sound when sliced. The set is made from high-quality wood, is painted with realistic details, and comes in a durable wooden storage box. Kids can have hours of pretend play as they imagine cutting up a delicious fruit salad, or serving up other juicy treats. The play food set helps kids practice fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, and with so many pieces, it''s a great way to introduce counting, and the concepts of part, whole, and fractions. It makes a great gift for preschoolers, ages three and older for hands-on, screen-free play.
