Le Toy Van - Wooden Honeybee Market Vegetables '5 a Day' Crate | Supermarket Pretend Play Shop Food

These little crates that go with the Honeybake market stall are absolutely gorgeous - so well thought-out and carefully made. It's a pity they are so expensive but it would cost in excess of double to the price of the actual market stall to fill all the shelves! Anyway, I have contented myself with supplying the recipient with two extra crates - to make three - one being already supplied with the stall itself.They are sturdy and beautifully made from wood and felt - the wood being the actual body of the item and the felt being the leaves or stalks. This particular crate has vegetables in (carrots, beans, mushrooms and radish) and is a very useful covert way to teach a child about food and where it comes from as some children nowadays have no idea where their food comes from or what it looks like 'in-the-raw'. For a lot of children chips and tinned baked beans are the only vegetable they ever see so this is a good way to teach them, not only about food but about arithmetic as well when they 'sell' their produce on their market stall!There's a whole load of stuff available in this Honeybake range so you can add to the experience by buying more crates for the market stall and also a cash-till and fake money to complete the set, along with weighing scales, a card machine and much, much more - as much as you want to buy - you could go on forever! And, don't forget, you aren't adding to the plastic mountain when the child tires or outgrows this toy because it's all made from wood so it's eco-friendly as well. Have fun and save the planet!

For what they are theyre really expensive and one broke after my son threw one in a strop! I got glued it back together and it’s ok for now, but annoyed at how much I love these!! They’re sparkly and really beautiful. Couldn’t resist the purchase but it is literally 6 fish in a crate 🤣

I toyed with giving this a four star review based on the size as they are really small. Even with the stated dimensions it’s not till you have the box in your hands your realise just how small it is. However the quality is exceptional and they are very durable and tactful. I have started to collect Le Toy Van food crates for my little girls Christmas present and I know she will utterly delighted to open these on Christmas Day and the size will be just perfect for her little hands but for the price, I expected bigger.

Really impressed with this good quality toy.

my grandson loves these but as a new toy I've yet to see the longevity & durability of product. easy to hold & play with. So far, so good

Great little item. My 4yr old daughter is enjoying playing with it. Yet again another top quality item from Le Toy Van and sustainably sorced materials too - makes a lovely change from all the plastic you usually see from Kids toys. Also bravo to LTV for the minimal packaging too, very little plastic and anything that wasn't the toy can go in the recycling bin!!!

I really love this food set. Yes the crate it comes in looks tiny however the vegitables are quite a good size. I think my son will love playing with them when he gets them on his birthday.

My daughter has the shop/cafe from le toy van so these are a lovely addition to it. Top quality as per usual :)

High quality wood construction not cheap plastic. Our granddaughter really likes her Christmas present.

Very cute fruit set! Good quality and vibrant colors.

These were part of my daughter’s (8m old) Easter basket! They were so perfect and looked so real, and my daughter who is now 11 months old still loves to play we’re her wooden eggs and the crate they came in. I must say, I thought they were larger from the pictures I saw prior to purchasing- but they are actually the same size as real eggs.

I know that I’m kids pretend stuff there is never a good ratio for sizing. I wanted to have dairy products proportional to my Hape plush food. I have looked everywhere and I cannot find it.Other than that, if you are not as picky as me, this set is very cute and well made.

The wooden fish and their basket are such a perfect fit for a fish-loving or toy-food-playing child! Our preschooler is both, and 7 months later is still going strong with these wooden fish.The paint has scratched and chipped in a few places with rough play. But they look like loved, well-played with toys, which is what they are.I wish the basket they came in was bigger, to hold other play food! But that’s not fair to expect, and it holds these fish just fine.
