I bought these grocery items for my grandsons to play.  Talking about food is okay, but chewing on it is better.... except for the cardboard boxes.  My 3-y/o pretends to eat the food and hasn't figured out you don't really want to put it in your mouth. He thinks it's funny.  the cardboard box of chocolate cake has teeth prints on it.  My 1-y/o is hard to keep away from it and has destroyed the fried chicken leg.  I know he's not supposed to get into it, but try keeping toys separate!  Overall, I think it's really good.  I've put away all the cardboard boxes/packages. The pieces are big and not dangerous even for the little one.  I had to put the plastic knife away because he grabs a real knife at every opportunity now.  Be careful of putting ideas into little heads.
