A cut above
We share many loves here at Northwest Mom Finds: the Pacific Northwest, Etsy, handmade goods, and the Melissa & Doug Cutting Food Box.
It's an assortment of wooden breads, fruits and veggies ready to be cut up by your budding chef. The pieces hook together with dots of velcro, so there is a satisfying thwack when they slice through with the wooden knife. It's as close as you can get to the real thing as a toddler and easily the most played-with item in our toy kitchen.

It also comes as a wonderfully detailed Wooden Sushi set, for the tot with more sophisticated tastes.
