User questions & answers

Question:	Is the wok small enough to fit on play kitchen burners without overlapping on the other burners
Answer:	it's rather big actually. The base easily fits on a play burner, but the top is wide, and with the handles, it would overlap. I tested it on our play kitchen. I guess it depends on how far apart your burners are. We have a step 2 deluxe play kitchen.
Question:	Is this set dishwasher safe, bpa and or food safe
Answer:	BPA free- yes! Dishwasher safe- top rack. Food safe- didn't specifically say, but I would say most likely knowing this brand❤
Question:	Does this product contain PVC
Answer:	Certain pieces in our New Sprouts Stir Fry Set are molded in non-toxic PVC. Feel free to contact us at [email protected] if you would like any additional information.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would these be appropriate for a 3 yr old or too babyish
Answer:	Yes - it comes with a building guide.
Question:	Why does it say for ages 3 and up? What are the chokable parts? I am looking for play dishes for my 18mo
Answer:	Yes, the tools do come with the set - a wrench and a screwdriver.
Question:	Is this set BPA free
Answer:	Hi there! The LEGO® Juniors theme is designed for builders ages 4 to 7 as a transition between DUPLO® and LEGO bricks. Juniors sets feature quick-start bases and simpler building instructions. While the sets use our regular LEGO bricks, they won't include the very smallest of our parts. If you're looking for larger pieces, your builder may like DUPLO bricks. They're about twice the length, width, and height of LEGO bricks, and they're designed to be fun and safe for builders 1.5 to 5. Kind regards, Emily LEGO® Customer Service
Question:	Can I actually poor water out of teapot
Answer:	The other set 10685 is actually a retired set that has been out of production since 2016. It is more expensive that its original selling price as it’s up to the person selling the set to decide the price. We do see older sets being sold for a higher amount – that’s generally because the set itself is harder to find and so becoming more valuable in the eyes of fans. I am glad to see that you have found the 2017 version of this LEGO suitcase.

User questions & answers

Question:	Are Breakfast/Lunch and Dinner Baskets included into the big set? What baskets/sets are included
Answer:	The food in the baskets is there for the most part you don't get orange juice from the breakfast basket but it is the only way to get the spaghetti. You can purchase the baskets separately from learning resources singly or I've seen hem in 4 packs. I ended up purchasing the baskets and several other sets and I made a list to compare if I would've been better off buyin the classroom set and personally I'm happier with what I bought although I do wish I had the spaghetti. Instead of the classroom set I purchased: all 3 baskets, munch it snack set, healthy snack set, super sandwich set, fresher picked fruit and veggie tote, and the farmers market sorting set. Everything I purchased was on sale 25% or more so I spent $147.74 all together and I ended up with 17 unique foods not in the classroom set and aside from a few duplicates the only thing I don't have is the spaghetti as I mentioned that's exclusive to this set and hamburger patties but hose are in a different set I intend to purchase for her birthday. That was overly detailed but i hope that helps. Watch for sales! This is the best play food out there and such high quality I'm a huge fan! My daughter likes it too lol
Question:	Where are these made
Answer:	China
Question:	Does this set include all I need for 1 child or will I likely need several more sets? How much space does this set take up, the foods seem small
Answer:	We love this set and I have 3 going on 4 kiddos aged 18m,3 and 5! But we did also buy the stir fry set, soup set and the hot cocoa set just because we really love the quality of the food. The colors, the texture is all high quality and in my opinion perfect size for the cookware and play kitchen. Doesn't take up much space, maybe a small square on the floor in its tote lol
Question:	What exactly is included? I want the detail of the 100 foods
Answer:	Thank you for contacting School Specialty. The following items are included in this set:Apples 2, Apricot 1, Asparagus Bundles 2, Baked Potatoes 2, Bananas 2, Berry Clusters 2, Bowl of Cereal 1, Bowl of Noodles with Sauce 1, Bowl of Soup 1, Broccoli 2, Cantaloupe Wedge 1, Carrot 2, Cheese Slices 4, Chicken Pieces 2, Cinnamon Roll 1, Cookies 2, Corn Cobs 2, Cucumber 1, Cucumber Slices 4, Eggs 2, Glasses of Milk 2, Grape Bunches 2, Hamburger Buns 4, Hamburger Patties 2, Head of Lettuce 1, Ice Cream Sandwiches 2, Juice Boxes 2, Lemon 1, Lettuce Slices 4, Lime 1, Mini Bagels 2, Mini Hot Dogs 2, Onion 1, Oranges 2, Pancakes 3, Pears 2, Peppers 2, Pinaapple ring 1, Plum 1, Pretzels 4, Salami Slices 2, Slices of Bread 8, Steaks 2, Strawberries 2, Swiss Cheese Slices 2, Tomato 1, Tomato Slices 4, Yogurt 1.

Question:	Is the to-go cup functional? Could my child drink water out of it
Answer:	It is made in China.
Question:	How big are the cups
Answer:	It will depend on which version the seller has. The manufacturer has changed designs on this and it depends in which one the seller you choose to buy from has on hand. I’m not sure that it matters much in the function of the toy.

User questions & answers

Question:	Need to make fruit maracas for my music class. Are they hollow to add a fill (plug w glue gun)? If not, have any suggestions? (Remo are ~$7 a piece
Answer:	My 2 year old grandson loves playing with this set....I feel it would be safe for an 18 month old too!
Question:	What is the approximate size of each fruit? Thanks
Answer:	Hi Nilster, good question. I just looked at the dishes we have and it doesn't say that they are. They only say "made in China" on the bottom. Since they're not advertised as BPA free, I'm thinking it's always safer to assume that they're not. I have to say, however, that my set was probably manufactured before we became aware of BPAs. It's about 14 years old. The kids don't put them in their mouths or eat or drink from them, though.Good luck! Dotti
Question:	Is it better to buy the bushel of fruit and vegetable seperately or to buy the tote with fruits and veggies in it
Answer:	Yes, you can! You just have to open the little cover with your thumb as you pour. 
Question:	Are the grapes green or purple? Different pictures show different color grapes

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I put them in dishwasher
Answer:	I haven’t put them in dishwasher but these pieces are more substantial than some plastic I do put in dishwasher’s top rack. I would think top rack would be fine. Repeated washes may possibly result in color fading.
Question:	Would this help a autistic child with eating issues
Answer:	It really depends on the child. The pretend food has great texture and may help familiarize a child with the actual food. Most children who are picky eaters benefit from sets like this. Give it a try! On the other hand, soup has many different foods with diverse flavors and textures in one pot which may be stressful to a person with autism, so keep this in mind as you are working with the child. It may also help to use a set that incorporates a food the child likes with other foods. But, it really does depend on the kid!
Question:	Would this be ok to play with in the bath
Answer:	Most pieces would be OK. My toddler loves to take everything in the bathtub. I have carefully checked every single piece and the only holes I can find are on the two tomatoes. The red "skin" on the potatoes is painted so you may want to leave those out as well. Everything else would be just fine!
Question:	Is this the same pot as in the New Sprouts Cook It set, but a different color
Answer:	This is the reply from the manufacturerThank you for contacting Learning Resources. I inquired further with quality assurance, they stated it's actually not the same pot. It is a slightly different design.Hope this helps, TheFunWaytoLearn
