My mom found them online somewhere. She had an older little tikes kitchen set that she got at a yardsale and it has an ice maker with ice cubes. She got extra for it too because DS misplaced them once. I think she found the extra on eBay. It's one of my favorites too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-favorite-play-foodaccessory#post-1982829 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 18:54:51 +0000 KT326 1982829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He loves the melissa and doug wooden pizza and pizza cutter.

Strangely enough, K and all the LOs that come over to play, LOVE this fake, plastic corn!

I just looked there, too. I am having a little trouble justifying the steep pricetag on the fruit and veggies since I know how much less expensive they are at IKEA....but I may just buy them all anyway!</p> <p>@yin: Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/felt-or-wood-food#post-1234477 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 19:54:04 +0000 yin 1234477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like a mix of both. DS loves throwing food on the ground, and he has hurt himself a few times with the wooden food. We have both M&amp;D and Plan Toys wooden food. I prefer Plan Toys for the quality, but it's pricey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/felt-or-wood-food#post-1234476 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 19:53:43 +0000 mrsjazz 1234476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: Try Amazon. I have some on LO's wishlist that are sold by other sellers.

Just checked the website now.</p> <p>My particular IKEA was totally out of them, but I think they're still in stock at other locations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/felt-or-wood-food#post-1234467 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 19:50:41 +0000 pregnantbee 1234467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Thanks for weighing in. Will take another look at M&amp;D.</p> <p>@shinymama: I wish I could....but the IKEA felt ones can't happen right now :(</p> <p>@HabesBabe: I'm kinda feeling the same way. My son throws things all the time...and I really don't want to be nailed with a wooden orange. Hahaha. So do you have a favorite felt food source other than IKEA? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/felt-or-wood-food#post-1234460 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 19:49:28 +0000 mrsjazz 1234460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: Wait, you can't buy them online? Drats, IKEA food is on LO's list. I like felt food. I might just get some from Etsy. But I think a combo of both is good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/felt-or-wood-food#post-1234458 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 19:48:57 +0000 HabesBabe 1234458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: oh craapppppppppp. I just put those on C's wish list to the ILs :( </p> <p>I prefer felt food at this age (16 months) because she still throws stuff and I'd rather get hit by a felt watermelon than a wooden one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/felt-or-wood-food#post-1234456 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 19:48:26 +0000 shinymama 1234456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe a combination of both? I like IKEA felt for foods, but M&amp;D wood for packaged items {condiments, etc.}. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/felt-or-wood-food#post-1234453 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 19:47:39 +0000 Bao 1234453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A is being gifted wooden food for Christmas...no preference though. It's the Melissa and Doug ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/felt-or-wood-food#post-1234435 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 19:43:43 +0000 pregnantbee 1234435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to IKEA last week specifically to buy some of their awesome felt fruits and veggies for my son's new play kitchen (that we still have to assemble). And they were totally out. Can't buy them online either, and they mentioned something about a situation with their manufacturer.</p> <p>Anyway, I've put some of the Plan Toys "cuttable" wooden fruits and veggies on our Amazon wish list, but I'm wondering if you have a strong preference for felt or wood play food. If so, why? Which ones do you like? I read that the Melissa and Doug ones tend to have peeling paint after awhile, so not sure I'd pick them.</p> <p>Thoughts? </p>
