Good quality play food. Great customer service!

This play food is made of durable material and seems like it will last for years. The pieces are small, like some of the reviews have mentioned, but i think they are perfect size for most play kitchen size dishes. If they were bigger, they wouldn’t fit in the toy cookware and plates. Y’all, THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AWESOME! I had a small issue, and their customer service team fixed the issue without question and in a very timely manner! I would recommend this play food to anyone with a play kitchen! This multicultural set comes with an informational list of items, so there is no guessing what something is. I love this. If you’ve been on the fence, just buy the set!

Like the diversity of food!

I appreciate the diverse food options especially since we are Korean and eat a range of foods from our culture and others. The foods are decent quality. A bit small. My daughter enjoys them!

Great selection of foods!

My grand children have added this collection of ethnic add exotic foods to their well-stocked, play kitchen, accessories, and love it! The quality of these various foods is excellent and they're having a great time serving food like mommy prepares! Great collection!

Great food set

This set is great! It came with a list of items, so it was easy to identify what items were which foods. The best part is coming from a multi cultural home and loving to eat and make foods from different countries already, this made at home play more exciting! The foods are the perfect size for my 3 year old. Yes, not all pieces are a realistic size, but my daughter does not mind. She likes to pretend to be our chef and make us meals. The items fit really well in her pots and pans. They are even the perfect size for her plates and bowls, especially if serving individual meals or family style. Highly recommended!

Great variety!

My class is a melting pot of different cultures. My students loved seeing food items that they have eaten before or have at home. I think the sizes are perfect.

Great Addition to Diverse Classroom

My students absolutely love this set. My students are from countries all over the world. I love seeing them light up when they recognize foods from their own culture. I also was impressed that this kit came with a description of each food and where it is from. Great purchase!

Love this!

We printed menus from Google images and are loving playing restaurant! The size of the food is perfect for our play dishes and small pots and pans. What a great way to learn about other cultures foods. I loved that a pictorial was included that named the various items!

great way to teach about other foods

I don't mind that the pieces are smaller, more can be offered. I recolonized all the food offered but can see why people are asking for a food list & description of what country the food is from. I haven't seen Multicultural plastic play food before & am very happy you offer it.

not worth it

I was very disappointed in this set. I was hoping it would be similar to what I've seen at various children's museums in their hands-on play areas, but it is not even close. The foods are much smaller than I thought they would be (not even close to life size like other products I've seen). Some of the colors are way off from what was pictured. And at the "seams" where some of the pieces were attached together they weren't lined up correctly so they are crooked - especially the shrimp, which look like they were cut in half and then glued together totally out of alignment. If I had only paid about $20 for this I wouldn't care, but for $50 I expected much more.
