Melissa & Doug's Cutting Fruit playset is entirely constructed from wooden materials and features 17 pieces in total, including a wooden knife. It is designed for children to safely play with, featuring seven fruits that are made to be sliceable using the included wooden knife.
Each item is carefully painted to boast intricate detailing and encourages creativity, imagination, and eco-friendly elements as well. The fruits are held together using self-stick tabs -- this same component also makes a "crunch" sound when it is sliced into. In addition to the sustainable element of the wooden toy set, this is also a great approach for teaching children counting as well as the concepts of fractions, wholes, and parts.
