Wooden Cutting Fruit and Vegetable Set Montessori Educational Toy for Kitchen and Play Food for Children from 2 Years Old

Learn while playing! The MINIFOOD fruit and vegetable cutting set is much more than just a toy: it’s a real educational tool that transforms every moment of play into a rich learning experience. Designed for children from 2 years old, this wooden toy is fully in line with the spirit of Montessori teaching, with an emphasis on autonomy, practical handling and sensory awakening. Crafted from natural wood, each piece is carefully carved and painted with vibrant, non-toxic colors to faithfully represent everyday foods such as carrots, broccoli, or even a steak. Thanks to a clever Velcro system, pieces of food can be “cut” using a small, safe wooden knife, imitating adult gestures in complete safety. Fine motor skills development: a simple action with big effects Each fruit or vegetable in the MINIFOOD set has been designed to stimulate and strengthen toddlers' fine motor skills. By handling food, positioning the knife, then making a cutting movement, the child refines hand-eye coordination as well as the precision of his movements. This type of activity prepares the brain and body for more complex everyday actions: buttoning a garment, holding a pencil, pouring a liquid, etc. Through regular practice, the child gains confidence and skill. Stimulating language and imagination: stories to devour Playing with pretend food isn't just a game of imitation: it's also a gateway to an imaginary world. The child names fruits and vegetables, learns their colors, shapes, textures, and associates them with his or her experiences at the table. He can “make soup” for his teddy bear, “sell a carrot” to his brother, or “cut a steak” like Dad. Each interaction develops their vocabulary, their ability to structure sentences and invent stories, while stimulating their creativity. 100% educational Montessori toy: autonomy, reality, and manipulation The MINIFOOD set is faithfully inspired by the main principles of Montessori education: providing practical, simple, and aesthetically pleasing materials that are sized just for little hands. The child chooses, touches, manipulates, experiments freely and at his own pace. He learns to do things alone, to observe the consequences of his actions and to reproduce everyday actions independently. No noise, no light, no flashing plastic: here, the child is an actor, not a spectator. The sensory experience is complete, calm and enriching. Sustainable and safe materials: beautiful, tasty, and made to last. Each piece is carefully crafted from natural wood. The edges are rounded, the surfaces are smooth, and the paints are water-based, without toxic products. Designed to withstand knocks, drops and intense play, this toy will last for years without aging. It can be passed down between siblings, or kept as a treasured keepsake. Sharing and social learning: cooking together is better! MINIFOOD is also an excellent tool for group play: in groups of two, three, or more, children learn to share food, collaborate on a “recipe,” wait their turn, or pretend to serve a customer. These interactions, as simple as they seem, are fundamental for the development of empathy, respect for others and communication. It is also a great opportunity to strengthen the parent-child bond by playing together in a calm and intimate moment.
