It's mostly wooden, so maybe not what you're looking for. It does say ages 3+ but the stuff is so cute. Like this set to make crepes!</p> <p>[attach=3209/14/mzga43.350x350.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-food-for-los-under-2-yrs#post-1349156 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:59:34 +0000 ValentineMommy 1349156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ikea felt food for our 11 month old and he loves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-food-for-los-under-2-yrs#post-1345736 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 11:54:07 +0000 autumnlove 1345736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MusicaV: a little bit </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-food-for-los-under-2-yrs#post-1345653 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 11:42:18 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1345653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We like Ikea felt food sets.

My LO is always try to play with things like empty milk containers (the big plastic gallon jugs) and empty boxes. I can't believe I didn't think about that! /facepalm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-food-for-los-under-2-yrs#post-1345541 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 11:21:39 +0000 regberadaisy 1345541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love Ikea felt food. At that age I hid the M&amp;D wood food because she would bite chunks off and the paint would peel. I have a ton of plastic food I got from a resale group. Love those because I wash in HOT soapy water! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-food-for-los-under-2-yrs#post-1345537 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 11:20:35 +0000 fancyfunction 1345537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also have felt food and she loves it. I can't remember the brand but I found them on Amazon and they even come in a felt grocery bag.</p> <p>ETA - this is the one we have:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001R5VNYY/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001R5VNYY/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-food-for-los-under-2-yrs#post-1345521 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 11:18:22 +0000 mrsjazz 1345521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have felt food from Ikea and Melissa &amp; Doug.

Did you experience that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-food-for-los-under-2-yrs#post-1345393 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 10:49:47 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1345393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot of the melissa and doug sets do have smaller pieces. My only other thoughts with wood food would be if they chew on it to make sure the paint doesn't come off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-food-for-los-under-2-yrs#post-1345391 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 10:48:50 +0000 autumnlove 1345391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Felt and wood food from Melissa and Doug..not sure of age recs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-food-for-los-under-2-yrs#post-1345380 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 10:46:22 +0000 katsupgirl 1345380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now she has some stackable grocery cans. I considered the the ikea felt food. I'm interested to see what others have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/play-food-for-los-under-2-yrs#post-1345300 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 10:28:42 +0000 MusicaV 1345300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a great deal on a used play kitchen at a resale store ($11, plus I'll spend about $40 on the essential parts it's missing, reg $150) The kitchen is currently at my parents' house. It may end up staying there as a special "Grandma and Grandpa's house" toy. IDK yet.</p> <p>Anyway, I don't have any food yet. LO is almost 16 months. I'm not in a rush to get food, but I have been thinking about it. A lot of the food is recommended 3 yrs and up. I know there are plenty of moms here who have gotten play kitchens for LOs under 2 yrs. So, what play food do you have? </p>
