Play Chef with Realistic Cookware, Bakeware, and Tea Set for Two
This 22-piece set features three kitchen collections: a cookware set, a bakeware set, and a tea set for two. The pieces are small--just the right size for kids' hands. With so many tools to choose from, kids can cook up dinners, bake treats, and host tea time using real or pretend food.

The cookware includes a frying pan, ladle, spatula, and slotted spoon, all made of stainless steel. Glazed with pastel colors and white polka dots, the tea set is made from sturdy porcelain that's fit for teatime with real or imaginary friends. It comes with lovely cups and saucers, a tea pot, and a sugar and creamer set. The bakeware collection includes a pink metal tin, plastic measuring cups and spoons, a wooden rolling pin, and two metal cookie cutters.

Ideal for Educational and Pretend Play
Use the set during snack time to add a dash off fun, or incorporate toy foods with the set. These play kitchen tools will engage children in hours of pretend play, while also allowing parents to stir up some educational fun. Help kids practice measurement and counting with the measuring cup and spoons, or use the set as a way to teach children about the importance of food and nutrition.

Safe for Real Kitchen Use
Because they're made from kitchen-safe materials, each piece in this set can be cleaned and washed in the sink as you would with real cookware, dinnerware, and utensils. The stainless steel pot and muffin tin are safe for adult-supervised use on the stove. The tin even comes with pastel cupcake liners, so you and your child can bake treats in the oven together. Parents will need to guide kids in caring for the porcelain tea set, which is sturdy, but just as breakable as any real coffee or tea cup if it is dropped or thrown against a hard floor or surface.

Melissa & Doug Slice and Bake Cookie Set Feature

  • Wooden set includes 12 wooden, sliceable cookies
  • Cookies store in a durable dough tube
  • Perfect for creative play^Enrich a child's imagination
  • Exceptional quality and value
Young children naturally love to pretend they're doing "grown-up" things -- it's a fun and important part of childhood development. The Melissa & Doug Wooden Slice and Bake Cookie Set lets children ages three and up pretend to bake, decorate, and serve cookies, all while practicing fine motor skills, learning number concepts, and more. The set includes a dozen wooden cookies, a dozen wooden decorating pieces, and toy wooden kitchen utensils.

What We Think

Fun factor:
Durability:
Educational factor:
Novelty factor:

The Good: Sturdy, high-quality wooden toy is built to last, offers plenty of opportunity for both independent and interactive pretend play

The Challenging: It's a toy with a lot of individual pieces, but it includes handy, clever storage solutions

In a Nutshell: Wooden cookie set comes with toy kitchen utensils, providing fun tools to foster imaginary play in preschool-age children


Kids love using the wooden spatula to remove their cookie creations from the tray.

Bake Up Something Good
The Slice and Bake Cookie Set features a dozen cookies that are packaged in a cardboard tube that looks just like a tube of cookie dough from the grocery store. Because they're held together with Velcro, the cookies slide out in one piece. Use the wooden toy knife to "slice" the cookies apart -- the Velcro makes a satisfying slicing sound when it separates.

The child can then place the cookies on the cookie sheet and pretend the cookies are baking, making sure to hold the "hot" cookie sheet with the oven mitt once they're done. (Note that the toy kitchen utensils are not meant for use with real food or with real kitchen appliances.)

Once the cookies are done baking, it's decorating time! The 12 "vanilla" and "chocolate" frosting pieces attach to the cookies with Velcro. They are painted with different, yummy looking sprinkles, candy pieces, and icing patterns, so your child can create a variety of different looking cookies. After the decorating is done, your child can serve them up with the included wooden toy spatula.

Perfect for preschool-age children, this toy not only offers plenty of opportunity for imaginary play, it also helps small kids exercise their motor skills. Our preschool-age tester found it challenging, yet fun, to slice the cookies apart. And while our toy tester enjoyed playing with it independently, this toy makes a great parent-and-child activity, too.

Adults can place custom orders for cookies, play counting and matching games, and more. If you're at a loss for ideas, Melissa & Doug includes interactive play ideas on the back of the cookie sheet that help you encourage your child to learn while she plays.

Sturdy, High-Quality Construction
The Slice and Bake Cookie Set definitely has plenty of pieces, so we were glad to find that the cardboard tube is big enough to contain both the cookies and the toppings, making cleanup and organization much easier. We also love the toy's sturdy wooden construction that's built for plenty of rough play. And as with all of their products, Melissa & Doug states that this toy is made with non-toxic coatings and meets or exceeds US toy testing standards.

About Melissa & Doug
Started in the garage at Doug's parents' house in 1988, Melissa & Doug has grown to become one of the most popular toy makers in the world. Their toys have garnered dozens of parenting and "best toy" awards over the years, and have been featured widely in national print media and on television.

One of the company's points of pride is that their toys are thoroughly tested for safety, and meet all US consumer product safety regulations. The toys are tested at the factory of origin during various phases of the production process to ensure that every toy meets the company's stringent safety requirements every step along the way. In particular, the paints and coatings on Melissa & Doug toys are tested frequently to be sure they meet or exceed government recommendations limiting heavy metals and lead in children's items.

Since day one, Melissa & Doug has been in compliance with every US consumer product safety regulation and will continue to stay compliant as the laws continue to evolve, assuring parents that their children can have a safe childhood while playing with Melissa & Doug toys.

What's in the Box
12 wood cookies, 12 decorative toppings, toy cookie dough tube, wooden cookie tray, wooden spatula, wooden toy knife and oven mitt.
