Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by from High-quality and multi-purpose! I love how well-made and well-designed each piece is in the set. The individual pieces are made of a very high-quality plastic that's both realistic-looking and durable. We love it for learning colors, nutrition AND for open-ended imaginative play. Without question, this is one of our very favorite educational games from Learning Resources. With the number of ways we can play with this set, it'll be a standard in our house for the next few years. And I have no doubt that the high quality set will hold up to regular use. Disclosure: I received this product for review.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Multi-Purpose Toy! I absolutely love this set because it is not only fun to look at the different fruits and veggies and name them, it really helps my son learn his colors and learn the skill of sorting correctly by color or even by fruit or veggie (when he gets really advanced)! Plus, he can also use them in his kitchen set for pretend play! I love that it has so many uses. One day he can use it for pretend and another day we can use it for learning! This is another great toy offered by Learning Resources! They never disappoint! Disclosure - This product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from WONDERFUL! I love the variety of foods in the set. I LOVE that there are NO donuts, cakes, muffins etc... Just fruits and veggies. It is so much to sit down and play this with our son. He will sort by colors a little bit but then just starts his own games. He enjoys filling baskets and then dumping them back out. He says, "Cooking dinner." It is very cute. If your kids have a play kitchen this would be awesome! If you are ever wondering what to get a day care provider or teacher....get this set. it is fun and educational and very versatile too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fun for Learning & Playing! This set is made of high quality materials and are the perfect size. I was very impressed with the product. My son absolutely loves it and has played with it daily since we received it. It's great for teaching my son about colors, sorting, fruits and vegetables, and so much more. His favorite thing to do is play market with them and he just loves it. It does come with a box that is perfect for storing them in, but we haven't used it yet because my son plays with this toy so often we just never put it away! We definitely recommend it! Disclosure: I received this product to review free of charge in order to do an honest review. My thoughts are 100% my own and others may have a different opinion.

The Learning Resources Farmer's Market Color Sorting Set combines so many of the things my kids love to do into one box it was a guaranteed hit before I even opened the box.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very realistic food for learning! I love how realistic these fruits and veggies look. They are absolutely perfect for learning at home. Some skills that you can work on at home with little ones are: Naming fruits/vegetables Colors Sorting (by color and category) Textures (soft, crunchy) Flavors (sweet, sour) Size (big, small)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Strongly Recommend! outstanding! I was pleasantly surprised at the size and quality of these. So often things are smaller than one might expect. These are a great size for my k4 classroom... not too big, NOT too small. So glad I ordered them. Great for sorting, classifying math concepts, along with imaginative play in the kitchen area... not to mention coming in handy for our unit on nutrition~ Highly recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Multi-Purpose! This toy has made it through all 3 of my children and is still in pristine condition. I recently purchased a set for our church nursery as well, since it has held up so well. It serves multiple purposes. 1) It is great for pretend play and I love that it comes with the color sorting bins for storage. 2) It is great for a color sorting activity, as intended. I like that there are stickers for the color on both the outside and inside of the bins. (Putting on the stickers is the only 'assembly' necessary.) I like that for the most part the pieces of food are one color. There are a few pieces with 2 colors; the carrot is orange with a green top. And is great for discussion within the color sorting activity.
