The Melissa & Doug Cutting Food Box includes a mini wooden cutting board, a wooden cutting knife, and eight wooden pieces of food. All pieces of the set are stored in a wooden box with a durable plastic cover. These colorful food items are pre-sliced into 2-5 pieces and re-attached by hook-and-loop fasteners. Children can take a piece of food, place it on cutting board, and cut through the fastened pieces like they are cutting through real food. The fastener provides the perfect amount of resistance to make it actually feel like you are cutting the food. Cutting a loaf of bread, watermelon slice, carrot, and other items will give children practice and make them feel grown up, and it will provide them with hours of fun and play!
