Description
  • The NESTA Wooden Velcro Fruit and Vegetable Set (15 Pcs) is built around this mechanism - 12 velcro-joined produce pieces that a child can slice and rejoin indefinitely with a wooden knife on the included cutting board, then carry in the included wooden basket to whatever imaginary destination they have in mind.
  • The full 15-piece set includes apple, carrot, tomato, pear, onion, banana, and more wooden produce pieces (each joined by velcro and split into two halves by the wooden knife), a wooden cutting board, and a wooden basket that doubles as a market crate, a kitchen basket, or a shopping basket. This gives the set three distinct play modes: market stall (arrange and sell the whole produce from the basket), kitchen prep station (chop the produce on the cutting board for pretend cooking), and sorting classroom (group by colour, type, size, or whole-vs-half for Montessori-style classification play).
  • Nutritional research consistently finds that children who play with food in a positive context before mealtimes develop more curiosity about unfamiliar produce. When your child handles, cuts, and names a wooden onion or pear during play, the real version becomes less threatening on the plate. The cutting sessions also build fine motor precision, hand-eye coordination, colour recognition, counting and early maths (halves and wholes), and the vocabulary of produce names and categories.
  • Crafted from high-quality wood painted with vibrant, non-toxic colours. Handmade in India by local artisans. Safe for children aged 3 to 8 years. Pairs naturally with the NESTA Wooden Gas Stove and Cooking Set for a complete prep-to-cook kitchen play experience.
  • NESTA TOYS is an IIM Alumni founded brand built with 200+ local Indian artisans. The Velcro Fruit and Vegetable Set is the prep station in the NESTA wooden kitchen range - it belongs on the same play shelf as the Gas Stove and Coffee Machine.
  • Ages 3-9 - Perfect for birthdays, Diwali, and educational gifts - For boys and girls
