I am very happy with this purchase, although I have not yet given it to my 2 1/2 yr. old grandson. I know he will love it and together his father and I will play with him and he will learn through play! I can see him serving up a meal now!
Impressive, lifelike enough so that he will know what the different items are.

Pros: durable, realistic enough, carrying case to contain the food when done
Cons: none
