I am always amazed about how much my nephews (and all the other kids I’ve known) love to play with food! Ashton and Jamison will bring little play hamburgers to the adults as we talk in the kitchen, or they’ll bake little play cookies on the coffee table.

Melissa & Doug test their paints and coatings to make sure they meet or exceed government recommendations for lead, and they’re careful with other ingredients as well. Thus, even if your kids decide to take a bite out of their play submarine sandwiches, you can rest assured that the Wooden Sandwich-Making Set will do no harm.

Melissa & Doug Wooden Sandwich-Making Set is available online at Amazon.com
