Description
Food Groups is a wooden play food set with all four food groups individually boxed in wooden crates for storage, sorting and stacking. There are a total of 21 pieces of wooden food and four wooden crates. DIMENSIONS: 12.5" X 8.75" X 2.5"
Why we love it
Food Groups is great for a 3 year old because it is a high-quality, wooden set that comes with four stackable crates and lifelike food pieces that will spark your child′s imagination.
Features and Skills
- Let your toddler dump all the food out of the crates and explore the different items in the toddler toy, Food Groups. Name the different foods as your child picks them up.
- Explain to your child that there are five food groups and that the foods we eat fit into one of these groups. Give him/her some examples, such as hamburgers fit into the meat group and the bun fits into the bread group.
- Make a food pyramid on a big piece of paper and put it on the floor. See if your child can put the items back in the correct food group.
- Use each of the boxes and see if your little one can create a balanced meal by putting items from each food group in the crate. The groundwork for eating well later begins early. This toy teaches children how to make good food choices when they are on their own.

Product Reviews
Most sites have product reviews. At ebeanstalk we do it differently. All our reviews happen BEFORE a product makes it on our site. Our team of child-experts looked at, tested and selected only the best toys. Then, they matched the toys to a child’s stage of development. Then they custom write an instruction card for each and every toy. This is the ebeanstalk review process. No other site does this; not even close. By conducting the review ahead of time, we ensure that our toys are the best and you can trust that the toys you are buying are matched to a child’s stage of development.
HOWEVER, we still want your feedback. If you'd like to tell us your impressions of a toy, please email us at feedback@ebeanstalk.com
