Hape Healthy Fruit Playset

The set includes two strawberries, a banana, a pear, an orange, an apple and a slice of watermelon, along with one realistic play knife. Some of the fruits, such as the apple and orange, have removable stalks, so children can prepare each piece before slicing it.

Yes. Most of the fruits can be sliced apart with the included play knife and put back together for the next round. They make a realistic crunching sound as they come apart, which adds to the fun and gives children a satisfying result each time they chop.

The banana has a peel made from soft silicone, so children can peel it open and close it again just like real fruit. Peeling the banana and pulling off the removable stalks give little fingers extra actions to practise beyond slicing the other pieces.

The fruits and accessories use non-toxic, child-safe paints. The colours help children recognise each fruit by sight, which supports naming and sorting as they play, and the bright pieces make the set inviting to pick up and explore.

This pretend play food set helps children become familiar with common fruits and encourages healthy eating habits. As they name, slice and peel each piece, they build vocabulary and hand skills. Combining the fruit with other food sets lets them create a whole feast and act out shopping or cooking.

The fruit set is made for children aged 3 and up. At that age children enjoy slicing, peeling and sorting the pieces, and the play knife is shaped to be child-safe so they can practise cutting motions while they learn the names of each fruit.

Yes. The fruit pairs well with other Hape foods for imaginative play. Add the Garden Vegetables set for a mix of produce to chop, or serve the sliced fruit from the 2-in-1 Kitchen & Grill Set for a fresh dessert.
