The Classic World wooden fruit set combines pretend cooking with maths – fruit is cut into halves and quarters.

This wooden fruit cutting set is a great choice that links kitchen play with basic maths. The colourful puzzle helps toddlers learn about fruit, and Velcro joins plus the split into sections let them practise cutting safely with a wooden knife. It is an engaging way to learn fractions and early counting. The fruit can be cut again and again. The set includes a wooden board with recesses, a safe wooden knife and fruit divided into parts. Everything is painted with non-toxic paints. 23 pieces in total; the board measures 21 × 24 × 3 cm.
