Learning the food groups doesn’t have to be a bore! Your child can learn about portion sizes and healthy foods with the Plan Toys Fruits & Vegetables Set. Separate wooden shaped fruit and put the pieces back together again, attached by a strip of Velcro. It’s a hands-on, visual way for your child to become familiar with a healthy selection of foods.

And, don’t forget that breakfast is the most important meal of the day! The Plan Toys Breakfast Menu food set is a great way to teach your child about eating a complete meal every morning. Not to mention, you can mix both sets together for more imaginative play! They’re the perfect props for a make-believe restaurant or market.

There is also the Fruits & Veggies set by IPLAY, complete with canvas tote.

Use for play or educational purposes. All kits are versatile and great fun for toddlers.
