Fascinating Food! by Sarah Green
My daughter is 9 months old and LOVES this toy. We've had it for about a month and it is one of her favorites. She loves to grab the sandwich and pull all the layers apart to hear the velcro "rrrrrrip". The bottle of "grape juice" makes a nice rattling noise. The ice cream cone makes a little jingle-jingle. The watermelon goes "squeek" but it takes adult size hands (all the others are totally baby activated).
Soft, Colorful, Fun and Great Developmental Toy by PhotoMama
After reading reviews I was concerned that my daughter was too old for these at 16 months. I went ahead and purchased the set in the hopes that these toys would help spark conversations about food and aid in pretend play. They also seemed very safe for a child her age, as many food sets seem to be approved for 3 years and above. I have not been at all disappointed with the foods, which are thankfully machine washable. They are played with every single day, and are definitely used for pretend play. In my opinion this set would be perfect without the basket because of the concerns surrounding plastics. But that's just me!
Update: At almost 3 years old, my toddler still plays with these, especially the bottled drink and ice cream. We also have a 7 month old, so it is nice that these will be safe for both little ones for some time to come.
Love the basket! by Patricia R. Moore "P
Cute toy "food" but the basket is really why I got the set. Our granddaughter loves to carry her mom's old purse around and this toy seems to be a wonderful small basket type of container for her. Nicely made and seems sturdy.
Excellent Fill & Spill by W. Klinger
We bought this for our then 18 month old daughter. I was reluctant to buy it because it is for ages 6 months plus and I thought she might be too old for it. She is not. She loves making the sandwich! The sandwich is what makes this Fill & Spill so great. All the sandwich pieces velcro together and the lettuce is 'crispy'. After seeing ours, my friend ordered one for her six month old son. Also, we had a 3 year old over to play and all she played with was this toy. We all had to take turns eating the sandwich she made and playing picnic. Great toy. This would make an awesome baby shower or 1st birthday gift.
Great item and fast shipping by JP
This toy was purchased from a vendor associated with Amazon and the product was received well ahead of predicted dates and in its original undented packaging. To top it off, the Melissa and Doug Deluxe Picnic Basket and associated toys are larger than expected and the craftmanship is excellent. I only rated it a 4 star on durability because the basket is lined with medium density plastic and can be easily creased over time creating a less than crisp view of what is inside.
Great Toy by Stefanie Hoysock "ho
I love this so much. I bought this and then bought the Melissa and Doug soft candy dish toy. They are both so cute and durable and offers my 10 month old daughter hours of playing time. Items are also washable.
too cute!!! by Amy
This is SUCH a cute toy and my 1-year-old daughter LOVES the velcro sandwich pieces especially! She takes them apart over and over again.
I got this set because it was soft toys that rattle and krinkle and I thought it would be a good high chair toy for my son (we have hardwood floors so he only gets soft toys in the high chair). He's only 6 months old, but he likes making the toys rattle and krinkle. He especially likes the ice cream cone and soda bottle right now because they are easier to hold. The watermelon squeaks, but his little hands can't do that yet. I think he'll enjoy these toys well into his toddler years.
Fantastic... sandwich! by krango
The picnic basket and the food is okay, but the breakout star of this set is definitely the sandwich... My 9-month-old is fascinated with with the velcro texture that connects the sandwich layers. He also enjoys carrying around a slice of "bread" with him when crawling from room to room.
Excellent travel toy by GeoKids
We purchased this toy for our first flight home to see the grandparents. We were trying to come up with ways to entertain our 10 mo for ~4.5 hours in the air. We were sure glad we brought this in addition to books and snacks. Our dd was too excited to sleep on the flight so we had to constantly find ways to entertain her and this was perfect. It was a new toy to her and she was very excited by the colors sounds and smiley faces. she loved shaking the ice cream and pop which rattle and spent about 30 minutes putting together and pulling apart the sandwich. The watermelon is great, but too stiff for her to actually push in to beep (so it was not as interesting to her). She also liked filling up and emptying the basket over and over. We used this on flights to and from and both times worked like a charm to keep her engaged for ~1 hour. It now sits among her other toys on a shelf and she pulls it down daily to play with it. She also uses the picnic basket to fill with other toys and carry them around. she also likes that the picnic basket is see-through and she can see what is inside. Very well done toy.
I just got this for my 8 month old for Christmas. She really enjoys it and my 2 year old enjoys playing with it as well. It's super cute. I'm very happy with it.
My eight month old daughter loves this toy. And I love that you can throw it in the washing machine to clean. Lots of fun. We are very happy with it.
We got this for baby's 1st birthday, and she loves this toy. So does every other baby who plays with it. The ice cream and grape soda are rattles, the sandwich pulls apart with velcro and is the best part.
Picnic basket by Nicole Coleman "mom
Very cute and fun for toddlers. Easy to clean and very durable. My daughter stills plays with it and she's three now.
Lots of fun and can wash in washing machine by castang
I got this toy for my 6 month old and he is now 12 months old and still loves it. He loved to pull the sandwitch apart. He likes carrying the pieces in his mouth everywhere he goes. The thing I love most about the toy is that you can throw all the pieces in the washing machine. Great toy! And so cute too!
Nice, colorful basket for small children to "tuck away" little things to tote around. The "food" items are eye catching and make for a perfect quiet time toy.
Super cute and fun! by Michelle R. Beatty
My 6-month old loves to shake, squeeze and crinkle the picnic foods. Her favorite is the lettuce!
Great toy for baby by M. Christopher
Love this toy! Little ones love taking the objects in and out of the basket and mouthing these objects won't make you jump to grab it away. The Velcro pull apart sandwhich is pretty cool and the bottle is a great rattle.
My daughter, at 10 months, cannot resist the sandwich. She has a compulsion to pull the pieces apart. Not able to put them together yet, but that will come of course. She also inspects the individual pieces, the 'crispy' lettuce etc.
AND they come up great in the washing machine too - that's important!!
Perhaps a minor quibble is that the icecream and the bottle are rather similar - can't be pulled apart and make similar sorts of noise. She seems least interested in these. Perhaps they could have made the ice cream so that it came apart. (Not the bottle, the lid would be small enough that a baby could choke).
Really a charming toy. I'm planning on giving it as a present.
BUT be careful not to lose any parts, because Melissa and Doug won't replace them. We temporarily lost half the sandwich...luckily it turned up. Without those pieces, the toy was so much less.
Really Cute! A Great Gift! by MominVirginia
I have purchased two of these now, and they are just so incredibly cute! It's just the perfect happy toy! Little children love this toy but it's amazing how much the adults and older kids seem to like it too! It can't help but make you smile...!
Fun for one year old by C. Race
I did not think my one year old grandchild would like this so much. She has a lot of fun putting the items in the basket and taking them out. She has a lot of fun with the individual items as well. It was a surprise to me that she liked it so well.
I really like this toy. Our baby has had lots of fun dismantling the sandwich and exploring all the pieces. It is fun and I really like that everything is machine washable (except the picnic basket itself). It is fun and we have fun playing with our baby with this product!
Fun toy that will stay interesting for a long time by Suzie Q
I love this picnic set. The little food items are adorable and smiley, and the container is small and compact and perfect for babies. The one thing I'd say, though, is that we also bought the Earlyears Lil' Shopper Play Set and I think if you're only going to get one, I'd go with the Lil' Shopper. The pieces of 'food' in the Lil Shopper are more interesting than those in the Melissa & Doug picnic basket (one is crinkly, another is smooth with a mirror).
Stop staring at me, Sandwich! by Yellis
I read these wonderful reviews and thought to myself that my 2nd child should have at least 1 new toy that hasn't been handed down to him from his older brother.
I bought this toy when my child was 6 months old. He is now 18 months old and still devoid of love for this toy. I had envisioned imaginary picnics together, laughing while pulling the soft toys in and out of the basket and maybe even a few private minutes to collect my thoughts while my child is occupied with said chocolate ice cream rattle. None of this was the case. I tried everything to get him interested in this toy but nothing has worked so far. He likes the squeaking watermelon but as other reviewers have noted, this is parent-powered alone.
He plays with a lot of toys. Just.not.this.one.
picnic basket by betty cureton "sver
this is very colorful and looks nice packaged. it was a gift for a newborn and her 2 1/2 year old sister. it is perfect for them to share.
This is another great toy by Melissa and Doug. We try to get the best and most eco-friendly toys for our son, and Melissa and Doug toys are always a hit! This toy surpassed my expectations by far. Just like other reviews, the sandwich in this set is the big hit. I have had this toy for 3 months now, and it is played with all day, every day. My 16 month old LOVES putting the lettuce and tomato together and taking it apart. He has spent many naps and nights sound asleep with the tomato in one hand, and lettuce in the other. He simply cannot let go of those two pieces. The lettuce and tomato alone are worth the price of this toy just for the smile on my baby's face. Buy this toy!
This is a fantastic toy. My 10 month old daughter loves playing with it. The "food" items are adorable and perfect for teething babies to chew on! I would definitely recommend this toy...I plan to buy it as a gift for another baby!
Keep's baby busy by Milo's Mommy
My son loves to sit with the basket and pull everything out. He likes to pull apart the sandwich and shake the soda which makes like a rattle sound. He always hands me the pieces to put the sandwich back together or the watermelon so I can make it squeak. Mel & Doug toys are my favorite because they are unique and well-made. Satisfied!
Toy of choice for my 9 mth old by radiomom
My now 10 mth old loves this toy - well mostly just the sandwich, but I'm hoping she'll come around to the rest as she continues to grow. She loves to tear apart the layers of the sandwich over and over again and she's learning how to pull it out of the basket. This is a very sturdy and and well made toy. Would make a wonderful gift.
This was purchased as a first-birthday gift. The toy is adorable, and seemed to hold the attention of the birthday girl. The favored activity was pulling apart the "sandwich." I would definitely recommend it.
love melissa and doug toys by Amy
I think this is soo cute. and my dd loves the squeak in the watermelon and hiding stuff in the basket, and I pretend to take sips from the drink and she just thinks its too funny. The only downfall of all cloth toys like this is lint is really attracted it it, and hard to really actually clean it.
We bought this basket for our granddaughter for her 1st birthday. The toy is durable and adorable. I think she's a little too young for it right now, however she enjoys the textures of each piece. I'm sure she'll enjoy playing with the basket and its contents in the months to come.
These little toy snackers are great, my grand daughter loves them. I feel good seeing her playing them, she loves taking the sandwich apart and pretending like licking the ice cream and drinking the soda.
Melissa & Doug Know Toys by Jade M. Clark "HeyJa
I am a huge fan of Melissa & Doug products. I've never had a problem with anything made by them. And this picnic basket is no exception. I bought it for my son's 1st birthday, as he loves to put things in and out of boxes. And this toy is perfect for that. He loves the bottle of "soda" the most... he rattles and he carries it around everywhere. He likes to open and close the basket over and over, and see how much stuff he cram inside at one time. This is such a fun toy, plus the colors are bright and the little fruits are adorable!
Great buy for 6 months or older by Patricia
I was very pleased with this product. It was given as a gift and the baby loved it. It is a safe and fun toy and I would recommend it to anyone.
Thank you.

My 10 month old daughter really loves this toy especially the sandwich (she loves to pull apart the sandwich and have Mom put it back together for her) and she loves the basket. Everything seems really durable and has held up well to many chewings and washings since we got it several months ago.
My 1 year old daughter loves this picnic basket. We gave it to her for Christmas (when she was almost 11 months). And she has recently been playing with it everyday. She loves to pull apart the sandwich and pretend to eat the food with her mom and I. She also loves pulling out the food and then putting it back in. Great toy for pretend play!!
Cute toy. My 14 month old daughter like its but got bored quickly. Might have been too young but does like to put it in her shopping cart.
So great for our 1 year old! by T. Klemetson
i bought this for our daughter for Christmas and it was a hands down winner. Each food has a special texture or sound ( rattle or bells or squeaker NOT electronic) she loves packing up her "picnic" and toting it around the house. I love that its easy to bring with us ( grandmas for example) and that as she gets older she can use the food to play pretend. Great quality. I love this Melissa and Doug.
Fun and colorful by Kristen N. Kocak
We bought this for our 3 1/2 month old for Christmas this year. He is into chewing everything, so the fact that the toys are soft and don't have any parts that could come off is great! His favorite toy out of all of them is the watermelon, which squeaks. He smiles every time we squeeze it!
