Frequently Asked Questions What age is the Wooden Cutting Fruit Crate suitable for?

The Wooden Cutting Fruit Crate is recommended for children ages 3 and up. The chunky wooden fruit pieces and wooden knife are sized for small hands, making it ideal for preschoolers developing fine motor skills through pretend cutting play.

Which fruits are included in the set?

The Fruit Crate includes seven wooden fruits: banana, strawberry, kiwi, watermelon, pear, orange, and apple. Each fruit splits into two pieces with Velcro, so children can practice “cutting” and reassembling each one using the included wooden knife.

How does the Velcro cutting mechanism work?

Each wooden fruit piece is held together by a Velcro bond. Children press the wooden knife along the Velcro join to separate the two halves with a satisfying snap sound and feel. The halves can be pressed back together for the next cut – no replacement pieces needed.

Does the Fruit Crate pair well with other Melissa & Doug food sets?

Yes. The Wooden Cutting Fruit Crate pairs beautifully with other Melissa & Doug food sets such as the Cutting Vegetables set, Pizza Party, and Sandwich Making set to build a complete pretend kitchen and grocery play experience.
