About This Product
Direct from US Personal Import Ages 3+
Sequencing Vegetable vocabulary Hand-eye coordination Pretend meal prep
Slice & Toss is a more complex set than the basic cutting food — it combines Velcro slicing (some items) with loose pieces that go into a wooden salad bowl. Tongs let kids 'toss' the salad. The pretend-cooking workflow has more steps and more variety than simpler sets.
Montessori-inspired in the sense that it mirrors real meal-prep sequence: take ingredients, prepare (cut/separate), assemble (in bowl), serve (with tongs). Kids ~4-6 get the most out of this — the full sequence engages their developing 'real activities' interest.
What's Included
