Great Tea Set
This is cute and made really well. It is perfect for our 2 year old. Everything but the tea pot is one piece so there are no sharp edges. Very durable. I love that it is made from recycled materials.

The Best Tea Set Out There!!
This tea set rocks.
Although I am from Canada, (Yes, we drink milk from bags in my neck of the woods, not from the jugs this set is made of) I can say that I feel proud to say that I feel good in doing my part by purchasing a recycled product.
This tea set is awesome!!
1. NO Batteries. I can't tell you how nice it is to have an old-fashioned toy that doesn't educate, beep, bing, do magic tricks, or light up!
2. It can be used with real food and I've put them in my dishwasher on the top shelf with the dry cycle off. I can't tell you how many times we've had a 'juice with crackers and cheese' party.
3. It's an awesome bath toy. :)
4. No advertising. No princesses, no flowers, no logos...just a good, refreshing coloured tea set.
Enough said...I will be ordering the pots and pans set because this set is just amazing and just so refreshing.

Eco-Friendly Update of a Classic Toy Every Little Girl Needs
This tea set is perfect for little girls. It's cheerful and fun and will inspire a great deal of imaginary play. Well made from recycled materials, you will rest easy if your little girl serves you tea, water or dessert from one of her little dishes. The packaging was simple, without ridiculous ties and lots of little things to throw away, something every parent, especially the environmentally conscious, will appreciate. Best for ages 2-6.

GREAT!
I want to say that I just love the packaging for this tea set. I bought if for my daughters 2nd birthday and when it came time for her to open this gift I didn't have to grab a knife, scissors, or a screwdriver to open it. I just lifted the cardboard and took it out and she was able to play with it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE "green" packaging. I wish all toys were made this way. Anyway, she loves this set. She plays with it all the time and "makes me coffee" (too cute!)

Great idea, too many little pieces
My 2 yr old got this as a birthday gift since friends knew she would be getting a kitchen for Christmas. It is: ~ very durable ~ adorable ~ fun to play with ~ great gift
What my gripes are: ~ Toooooo many little pieces! Candles, and wooden circle to stick on the cake. I put most of them away for now, maybe later it will be fun and not just messy. ~ You can't take a slice out without ruing the cake . . . very frustrating for my toddler.
Would I buy it for someone else? Probably.

Imaginative Fun
My 3 year old twin girls use this for "parties" with their dolls and stuffed animals. The different toppings allow for lots of different cakes. The parts are very durable and the storage container allows for a nice neat pick-up. Not a very educational toy but it is still a winner due to social play it encourages.

nice toy
amazon shipping as promised by xmas :) Got this for my 2 yr old since she loves to sing happy birthday, thought she'd love the toy... well she likes it... that's her tho, not the toy. It's nice to see a wooden toy instead of cheap plastic. I wish it had some kind of case instead of the open top box, lots of peices we're trying to keep together. Nice toy, I'd recommend it.

Lots of fun
This was a gift for our two year old grandaughter. She already has the Melissa and Doug Pizza set and was excited to get the birthday cake set. The pizza set has had real "staying power" and is one of her favorite kitchen toys. When her male cousins visit, they enjoy the pizza set, too. I expect that the cake set will be just as much fun. I rated this high on educational value because the set lends itself to many sorting and matching activities. The children enjoy taking "orders" and then making custom cakes and pizzas. It could easily be used to introduce the idea of fractions, although we have not played with it with that in mind. I am impressed with the quality of these toys.

Brings out the creative best in a child

Wish It Were Made in the USA
This is a wonderful toy to go along with all the kitchen stuff little girls (and boys) like to play with. It is entertaining for parents as well! I just wish we could manufacture great toys like this in the United States. Where have all the toymakers gone?

Perfect first food playset for toddler
I wanted to buy my 18 month old son a set of durable & safe play food for his new little kitchen. This set has been perfect! He loves playing with the different veggie toppings (esp the pickles) and cutting apart the "velcro sandwich." Very durable & show no signs of wear after over a month of daily rough-play.

Niece and Nephew love fest!
My sister recommended getting them something from this brand for xmas because my niece got the cupcake set for her birthday a month before and they played with it constantly. They didn't have the toy she originally wanted so I went with the sandwich kit. I come from a big family so they received around 7 packages of toys that night and they wouldn't stop playing with the sandwich kit even long enough to open the other presents! It's a simple toy but they can't get enough. My niece is 3 and my nephew will be 2 years old in a month. Highly recommend!

Great toy!
Like all Melissa and Doug wooden food and kitchen, this Sandwich set is terrific. It was a Christmas gift for my now 21mo old granddaughter who absolutely loves it. The pieces have Velcro on them so they can be stacked into a wooden sandwich. She also loves the birthday cake set. The individual slices of cake, candles, and toppings have Velcro, too. The pieces in both these sets are almost indestructible and stay colorful. It has helped her in both vocabulary development and imaginative play.

Cute, high quality
This set is adorable. My 3 yr. old loves it. High quality wood pieces. The box that it comes in is actually the 'storage' box for it, also made of wood, so you have a place to put all the pieces. I just wish it had a lid to it..

Who's hungry? Mix and match to make a yummy meal. This 21-piece set is full of well-balanced, nutritious pretend food. All four food groups are individually boxed in sturdy wooden crates for storage, sorting, and stacking.
Customer Review :
Awesome Foods!
These are just adorable. I love the little crates, and it does help to keep everything organized. I just wish that they had a replacement policy for a single item. We lost the stick of butter at a hotel. It was unknowingly packed. The designs on the food are appropriate, and creative. They are just the right size. These are made in china, which I thought Melissa and Doug did Mfg in the US, BUT these are well made. I would have rather had them made in the US, but they seem just fine.

Great Durable Toys for Tots
I LOVE Melissa and Doug everything! I got this set for my almost 2 year old daughter and she loves it so much! We store them in her play kitchen. It's colorfully painted and comes in wooden crates for easy storage. I love how this set represents the four food groups and my daughter can identify a lot of the foods already! When ever she wants banana for instance, she brings me the banana and shouts "Nana!!" I find these little guys everywhere in the house. Especially when I'm cooking! She'll be a little cooker soon enough! I'm so happy to have these toys for her wooden collection. By far one of our best purchases for the baby girl!

Great, wooden food for play kitchen
My 21 mth old daughter LOVES her Melissa and Doug wooden food groups. She plays with them all the time. They are very durable, colorful, and realistic. My only complaint would be that they are really loud when she throws them on the hardwood floors but all wooden toys do that.
Rating :     
Food Groups
The Melissa and Doug food group set was a big hit with my two year old niece this Christmas. She plays with the food regularly at her kitchen and even loves to use the mini wooden crates in her pretending. I definitely think the look of the wood food is so much nicer than a lot of the plastic options out there.

fantastic
My granddaughter could not open this present fast enough. She immediately had us rip open the plastic wrap and proceeded to play with it,ignoring all of her other Christmas presents.

Very cute, she loves it.
My 1 year old started to want to play with my purse all the time. I decided to get her her very own purse and this one had great reviews. I was not sure if she would like it since it does not have zippers or pockets like mommy's purse, but she loves it. She carries it around with her and plays with all the cool stuff inside.
Rating :    
Great Toy!
My kids LOVE this! It has a good variety of accessories, and I esp. like the little credit card holder. (My two year old keeps wallet size pictures in it.) The only things I'd change is that the cell phone doesn't have buttons you can push, and the keys are cheap/thin.
Overall, though, it's a great toy!

My daughter loves it!

My First Purse
My 15 mo old loves this toy. She carries around parts of it everywhere and she likes to put things into the purse. She gets so frustrated when she can't open the plastic wallet, but her frustration can be really cute. She wants so badly to be able to do everything. She even enjoys the phone, even though it doesn't light up like other play (or even real!) phones.

Good gift for first birthday
I bought this as a gift for my daughter's first birthday. She carries the purse around on her wrist, but she's not very interested in the accessories. Of course she'd rather play with my phone.

Questions & Answers
Question : What are you giving up due to high fuel prices?
Have you given up any luxury items or perhaps planning on giving up items? Driving less, is obviously not included. I'm curious what areas people are giving up as well as what sectors of the economy could be hurt most. My list in no particular order (haven't given up yet, but will do so if needed):1. Eating out2. Cable/Satellite TV3. High speed internet (use office when needed)What's your list?
Answer:
We don't go out to eat very much. Maybe fast food once every week or two? (I know, not good for our health...) We also dropped xm radio (didn't need it anyway) and we lowered our cell phone plan.

Question : How should I warm up before stretching to get the splits?
I take martial arts and need to get my splits down, so I've looked up some good tips around the internet. They say I should warm up before I stretch so that I won't keep staying sore the next day. But exactly how should I warm up? I thought stretching was warming up!
Answer:
I do martial arts as well and the easiest way to go would be to take a hot bath and directly after stretch your muscles as far as you can.Theory here is that all your muscles will be heated up (not just the ones you try and warmp up through various stretching excersises).It does take a couple of weeks to go completely flat.Try going down as far as you can and keep that position for as long as you can before getting up. the muscles have to become used to a stretched position.

Question : What wiring hook up for brake lights does a travel trailer from the 70s typically have?
I just bought a 17 foot Monitor 2 travel trailer from 1975, and I am having wiring hooked up to a hitch tomorrow. I will not have time to inspect the trailer until saturday (it is a good distance from where i live), when I have to pick it up. In the 1970s, was there one general type of wire hook up I can count on being the correct wiring hook up, or do I really need to inspect the end of the trailer's wiring before hand?Thanks!
Answer:
If you are trying to wire plug like the old days to a new truck , will not work . There is an adapter relay you will need . The trailer is on a typical 4 wire system and newer trucks are on 7 .

Question : How to hook up multiple devices through my home theatre receiver?
I have a few year old sony hdtv. I need to hook up an XBox 360, the HDTV cable box, a DVD player, and a home theatre receiver. The previous way we had it all hooked up was through the receiver but we had green on the screen so some guy from the cable company came and changed it. Now we cant watch DVDs or get the XBox to show up. How do I need to hook up everything?
Answer:
Why was there green screen? Perhaps the receiver was defective. The cable guy should not have left your other sources unconnected without explaining what was wrong. If you can, plug all your sources into the receiver again, and use the same external input to your TV(that the cable guy used) from the receiver output. If you still get green screen, replace the receiver.

Question : I set up a wireless network and now it is showing up with multiple listings?
When I search for a network, the network I set up is listed several times. It will be listed as network, network2, network3. I only set up the network once. Is this a problem? Is it some sort of security risk? The network is hidden and security enabled. I am not that computer savvy and was concerned that these variations on my network have appeared. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.
Answer:
This happened to me a few years back - turns out it was the neighbor's kid trying to hack my network by using the same SSID. His network wasn't secured, so I logged in to his router and reset the SSID to something rude. Problem solved.

Question : What cover up or foundation covers up pimples really well?
When I was a teenager I had lots of acne, which also left scars. I still get pimples a lot and I've tried a variety of different foundations to cover the scars and pimples up. What are some good brands of foundation that can cover pimples and scars up?
Answer:
put on moisturizer first so the foundation won't be caking up. Choose clinique brand if your skin sensitive or simple Covergirl products using concealer and foundation.

He only wants to be left alone. He's a 10 year old cat but overall he's in great shape and health.

Question : Do built-up plaque and cholesterol in your arteries ever go away if you start a diet and exercise plan?
I know eating poorly and not exercising can lead to a build up of cholesterol and plaque in your heart's arteries. I am just curious if one starts a diet and exercise program after a bunch of cholesterol has built up, will the build-up go away or is it there forever (other than surgery)?Thanks for your insight, I appreciate it.
Answer:
Please forgive me for being quite blunt in my reply but I am sick and tired of seeing good people lied to about what diet or exercise program will be their magic cure. It is far kinder I believe, and more helpful to know the facts, as ugly as they are...That way you have a fighting chance.The facts are not very uplifting, but here they are... At least you are aware of this junk in your system. Yes... Right now, there is a ton of deadly 'plaque' inside your intestines, not to mention harmful 'parasites' (mostly worms!) that are making and keeping you fat!The fact is: 99.9% of all people living within the United States, and about 91% of everyone else living outside of America are infested with this JUNK.And it's put there on purpose! ( I know this sounds like “men in dark suits with sunglasses flying in black helicopters” kinda stuff.)..But you gotta hear it, it's for your own good...And yes there is a solution, so read on. This article called." Free Me From Fat Forever" certainly breaks the mold on everything that the media feeds us to do with weight loss. If it is the truth, it's quite shocking?I hope it can help

Question : How should I set up a treasure hunt for a large group of young children in a library and parking lot?
I'll be setting up a treasure hunt to start off a party at my local library. In past years, around 50 or more children have come to the party so I should expect the same number (maybe even more). The children range in age from 5 up to 10 (although I was planning that the really young children would get help from their parents). The hunt will be set up in the library parking lot (which is pretty big) and in the children's section of the library. The only problem is, I'm not really sure how to set it up! Should the children work in groups or should they work alone? Should they have to carry a sheet and maybe pick up a sticker at each clue to make sure they go to each clue? Should a library volunteer be at each clue to read the clue to the children or should the children read the clues themselves?Any ideas or help would be amazing :)
Answer:
If you are going to have people showing up at different times, maybe you should consider just a generic hunt instead of a treasure hunt? Hide a bunch of little themed toys... like little dinosaurs or even cards with pictures. Tell them they can redeem 3 for a prize and send them off as they come in. If you would like to go with the treasure hunt, maybe divide it between the little ones that can't read and the older ones that can. For the younger ones give them a "map" with a picture story and a picture of the location of the first clue. At that clue have another part of the story and a picture of the 2nd place they need to go... etc... We did this with the 4-6 crowd and it was a hit... no "reading" required and they are doing it themselves. At the end they would tell us the 'story'- either as individuals or group (go with the flow for this group) and it would connect to the theme and what comes next.For the older ones regular written clues should work fine.I don't know that you really need to do the sticker at each clue so much as at the end. You'll know at the end when they "tell" you the story... but it's all about fun, so as long as they are trying I wouldn't really worry if they miss one or just send them back to try again. If you do it this way, you will have to have some sort of props around the parking lot to send them around. I would also have the volunteers just float- some kids they may need to walk around with but most they can just sort of watch out for as they reach the stations.Good luck :)

Question : How do I set up a simple library for my local community center?
I wanted to open up a library at my local community center of just a few 100 books and hopefully increase that. I have no idea how to set up a library or how to catalog them. Can anyone suggest a program as I can set up a laptop if need be or maybe a website that would help me in setting up the library. Thank you.
Answer:
I would recommend a website because that way you'd actually, at some point, be able to go and let others use the archives.Anyhow, you could use a content management system (CMS), which is equally useful, but you'll need to learn a bit of it.However, a database should also help you archive stuff, and if you're looking for an easy to use, free database, try downloading the link given in the sources.
