Viga cutting vegetables – slice the carrot with a wooden knife, stick it back and cut again!

This wooden cutting vegetables set is a perfect introduction to creative, safe kitchen play for little chefs. Realistic vegetable replicas joined with Velcro can be cut and put back together again and again. With the included safe wooden knife, children can practise everyday kitchen tasks under adult supervision. The Velcro gives a resistance that feels like real cutting. The set includes a wooden chopping board, a safe wooden knife and two-piece vegetables: carrot, cucumber, mushroom, tomato, pumpkin and red onion. It meets EN71 and ASTM standards and comes in a colourful gift box. A great way to combine learning about healthy eating with building hand dexterity. From 18 months.
