Yes, food is included. Easy assembly. It is on the petite size, so check that out but that is what we were looking for. Our 2-year-old granddaughter absolutely loves it especially with the dispensing “ice cubes”. The oven and washer/dryer versions are equally fun for her. I will say, the oven is her favorite. Only thing I don’t like about the frig is that the bottom drawer freezer pulls all the way out- no catch to keep it in place. Highly recommend regardless!!!
