20 Best Vegetables For Kids (2022 Updated)

I purchased this for my 2 year old and am very happy with this product. Good quality: wood is well sanded, velcro is solid, and painting is vibrant and has really cute details. I was happy environmentally as well that it came with no plastic wrapping.

I deliberated about whether to go velcro or magnet for this toy, but after reading reviews on other sets where the magnets did not hold the pieces together decided on this set. I’m glad I did: I was concerned my toddler couldn’t cut through the vegetables but it’s easy enough to attach the velcro lighter and he does a surprisingly good job of putting enough pressure to do the cutting either way.

Loved it enough to buy the fruit set from this company now too! Thanks for making a good quality item looking forward to a childhood of fun with them!.

AIRLAB WOODEN PLAY FOODS FOR KIDS – 5 stars If you want to give your youngster practicing cutting food, this is the set for you. Included are 7 different vegetables, each halved and connected with velcro.

This makes for an enjoyable cutting experience, much better than when magnets are used. Specifically, you sort of “saw” to get through the velcro. Also, should the velcro become damaged, you can easily replace it.

A lovely wooden tray and ultra-safe wooden knife round out the set. JAMOHOM PLAY FOOD TOYS FOR KIDS – 4 stars Similar to the above set, 5 vegetables are included. There is also a small wooden tray and the same wooden knife.

Everything about this set is smaller than the one above. Still, it’s a good little set and it will get the job done if your objective is to have your child practice cutting food. JOQUTOYS 27 PCS WOODEN CUTTING FRUITS VEGETABLE SETS FOR KIDS – 2 stars PROS: – Cutting board.

Two knives. And a peeler. It doesn’t really do anything, but then this set is all about pretend play anyway. CONS: – Nearly every item comes individually wrapped in its own plastic bag. Very environmentally unfriendly.

Also annoying. – There’s a child sporting a hat and apron in the product page images. They were also on the overall list. These items were not included in my set. – The wooden produce pieces are held together by very small magnets.

As a result, the two pieces are snug; there is no room for the knife to get in there and saw like with the velcro above. Also, as soon as you’ve separated the two pieces even a tiny bit, they fall apart.

There’s really not a whole lot of “cutting” involved. – Seafood is included. It has faces. – The cherries and the orange are the same size. – The green pepper and several other items are unrecognizable.

– A kiwi lollipop and an orange lollipop are included, although the latter looks like lemon. – The wood is not as sturdy as in the first two sets. I started wondering if it was actually wood. – No storage, just the box it came in.

BOTTOM LINE: I’m just really not impressed by this set. REMOKING FOOD TOY SET (35 PIECES) – 4 stars This set is less about cutting food and more about the overall experience of playing with pretend food.

While some cutting food is included, there are also many other items such as pots and pans, plates, a spatula, etc. In an interesting twist, the basket lid doubles as a shape sorter; shapes are included along with stickers which make them fit in with the overall food theme.

The food itself is plastic, but the connections are velcro. While I still prefer the wooden produce, the velcro connections do make this a satisfactory cutting experience (although the plastic knives are inferior to the wooden ones).

Overall, it’s a good versatile set.

This is a great little set of kids play food. I love that they’re made of solid wood and come in a cute little wooden box. The wood knife feels sturdy too and can “cut” through the velcro connecting the fruit pieces easily, but still has a little resistance – like you’re really cutting through a piece of fruit 🙂 The piece are a pretty good size and fairly relative in scale to each other.

I don’t like it when the scale isn’t accurate with things like this since they’re supposed to teach kids, but all together the presentation is nice. Some of the leaves are attached pieces of felt, which could get pulled off over time.

Even though it’s “play” food kids will still probably attempt to bite it! There is a warning label on the box that it’s not meant for children 0-3 yrs old. I do like how all the pieces can fit back in the little box, and don’t have to be put back in any special order for the most part.

I would recommend this fruit set and it would make a great gift.

After trying this pouch my 3-year-old grinned and said, “mmmh yummy!” This then promoted my 6-year-old to want to try it and he enjoyed it so much that he didn’t want to give it back. My kids are very opinionated about pouches so this says a lot.

It’s also a good size. Because even though they loved it it wasn’t something easily gulped down in under 20 seconds. I like that it has veggies rich in color so extra phytonutrients. A+.

I loved the idea of this fishing game, but the fishing pole itself breaks every time we use it (which I then have to rethread and try to fix). Both fishing poles came undone after 3 uses- meaning the string that is the ‘fishing line’ somes untied and out of the reel.

They were handled fairly gently, ie no pulling on the magnet or string or reel portion. Also, the bag that comes with this product was basically Velcro getting stuck to everything and pieces falling out I resewed the bag to have a drawstring at the top and cut off the velcro.

We LOVE Melissa and Doug products and have at least 50 items in our house that we use. We promote pretend play and avoid electronic toys. I’m so disappointed in this product. Hopefully they can find a better design or reconfigure their production of this toy.

Very poorly designed, especially for a Melissa and Doug product. Don’t waste your money.

This set is really cute. I love the lettuce leaves that are made of fabric – so cute! The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5, is that this set is packaged in a HUGE box. It’s about the size of a box of oranges that you might buy in a supermarket.

The problem with this is storage space. Plus, over the years, Melissa & Doug have reduced the packaging of their products. What I mean by this, is that you really cannot store the toy in its original box, because there’s no way to close it.

They used to make clear plastic lids that could slide over the toys so that you can keep the pieces together. Now, the pieces come in a big box and are all separated by moulded plastic, which you wouldn’t be keeping, so now you have this huge box, but you can’t even use it to store the pieces in because without the moulded plastic, the parts take up like a quarter of the space it used to.

This leaves the pieces too much space to slide all around, and since there’s no lid, they can fall right out and get lost. Overall, I am a big Melissa & Doug fan, and have been for over 20 years – their products are always creative, well-made, and use a child’s imagination which I prefer over electronics.

I just wish they would package them better so that the toys can be stored in their original box. (this also would help eliminate waste from all the packaging materials).

My two year old daughter absolutely loves this set! I gave it to her for Easter and every time she goes into her little house/kitchen, she always grabs these and dumps them out of the crates/boxes and will pretend to cook with them by putting them in a pan, or have me take a bite out of them.

They’re definitely mostly large enough that I would say there’s no choking concern, but the hotdog is quite narrow, although it’s so long it hasn’t been an issue for my daughter. She has a set of plastic food that she’s bit into when she was younger, and they’re still indented with no real way to get them back to the right size, which isn’t a problem with these since they’re solid wood.

Definitely I would recommend this set if you want to get your kid a good amount of quality food for not that much money.

My daughter (18 months) loves these and has been using them since she was about 9 months or so. These are great because she can feed herself this without making a mess. I’ve gotten other kinds of yogurt and applesauce packs that were similar and they ended coming out too fast and got all over the place.

These are pretty thick and therefore a lot less messy. We take them with us when we go for walks or for snacks if we are spending the day out somewhere or in the car. She especially loves anything with Banana flavoring so she loves the variety pack.

The only con is the price for the amount you get versus less portable alternatives, but you’re paying for the convenience since it’s portable and mostly mess-free. It’s worth it for now until she can master using the spoon.

The Beech-Nut Veggies Stage 2 pouches are so tasty your child will ask for more. My toddler loves these. He can feed himself as the pouches are easy for him to hold and use himself. They are user friendly for baby, Kids, and adults.

I really love that the ingredients are natural and don’t have in added ingredients at all. The veggies and fruits are on the front of the pouches are what is in the ingredients – that’s it nothing else.

These are also great for when on the go as they have a lid that twists closed to keep whatever didn’t get finished from spilling. I highly recommend these to other parents looking for something better for their child.

I have been looking for easy, healthy, and filling snacks for my 2 year old toddler and have been struggling to find something she will eat. Since she is home with me all day, she comes along on my errands which can sometimes be a few hours long.

She is picky and rarely eats anything nutritious on the go. I usually resort to a snack bag of some sort and give up. I came across this and decided to give it a try, without much hope that she would actually try it, let alone finish the whole thing.

When I opened it for her she smelled it first (like she does with all new foods for some reason) and wasn’t sure if she wanted to try it. After some convincing she licked the top of the pouch , and then started to actually eat it, which amazed me.

She finished most of the pouch and seemed pretty satisfied ( well to be fair she squeezed the pouch instead of sucking it up so most of the pouch actually was on her hands and shirt). I live how this is organic and full of fiber and protein.

My daughter wouldn’t ordinarily eat beans, but thanks to this product the bean taste is pretty neutral and masked by the other flavors, so she gets the fiber and protein of the beans without the distinct taste.

My toddler daughter loves macaroni but started to slack on her vegetable intake. In hopes of getting her vegetable intake higher, I was looking for other food options. I saw this Gerber – Plant-tastic Harvest Bowl made with Organic Vegan Mac Bowl.

My daughter instantly loved it and finished the entire 4. 5oz bowl. This USDA certified organic vegan Mac bowl consists of 1 serving of vegetables and 2 grams of plant protein. Ingredients include butternut squash, garbanzo beans and carrots.

My daughter loved the taste and texture as she finished the entire bowl. I highly recommend this Gerber – Plant-tastic Harvest Bowl made with Organic Vegan Mac Bowl! I will look for other products in this line from Gerber to help vegetable intake in my daughter.

This is a great baby food product that my toddler actually enjoyed eating! I’m always looking for alternatives for my toddler to consume for veggies, fiber, and protein, and this product certainly satisfies all the criteria! This product is a perfect plant-based mealtime solution, made with a unique blend of veggies, chickpeas, and pasta specifically formulated for toddlers.

The aroma is actually quite appetizing for my toddler. This product is made with beans and grains and is 100% plant based, vegan, and delivers a good source of veggies. Not to mention, there is plenty of protein coming from the chickpeas.

I feel great giving this product to my toddler, since it is certified Organic and non-GMO. Overall, I recommend this product to other parents.

My 7 month old has been loving all of the new solid foods we’ve been introducing, and I thought that these savory veggie blends would be a yummy and healthy addition to her diet. BOY WAS I WRONG. The description sounds really appetizing, doesn’t it? This stuff tastes absolutely vile.

I gave my daughter a bit of this on a spoon, expecting her to get all excited like she usually does with new flavors. Instead, she visibly recoiled in disgust, mouth open and face frozen in horror. Tears welled up in her eyes and she began crying and looking at me as if I had hurt and betrayed her.

She was so shocked that she didn’t even spit it out, just held her mouth open and her tongue out while she cried. I tasted this stuff and nearly gagged. Who came up with this blend and though that this flavor would be palatable to any human being, let alone little babies who are still getting familiar with new food? I tried adding a bit of salt to the blend, even adding seasoning, but nothing could save this disgusting waste of money.

Ever since, my daughter refuses to eat anything that she sees come out of a pouch, even her favorite foods. Stick to the simpler veggie blends if you’re buying pre-made baby food.

The Sprout Foods – Peach, Oatmeal, Coconut Milk & Pineapple baby food pouch is a wonderful flavor of baby food. My 6 month old granddaughter loved this baby food. She is normally a little picky when introducing new flavors, but she really enjoyed this specific type because she ate it up very quickly.

I tasted a little myself on the spoon and I have to say it tasted very good to me as well, it had a really nice peach flavor to it. My granddaughter didn’t suffer any digestive issues after eating this type of baby food.

The only draw back was opening the package, it was a little awkward trying to squeeze out the baby food as I feel it was kinda hard to get it all out easily. I was impressed with the high quality of this baby food and this is a product I would recommend to all my friends and family.

I have a 9 month old baby that is obviously new to the whole baby food world. We have been exploring all different kinds of foods and food brands. Sprout foods is a trusted brand that is a go to when shopping.

They are fair priced and have great options for organic baby food. I am able to find them at local stores and online. This flavor blueberry, bananas and oatmeal is a flavor I always have on had for breakfast! I even think it is delicious! I like how the packaging can also be used for in the go and makes for an easy clean up because once they get used to it, they enjoy squeezing in their mouths.

Our daughter has just reached the terrible twos age. She is very picky and almost always refuses to eat meals. When she does eat it’s usually a few bites and then she’s done. We are always trying to find meals that are nutritious.

But our daughter tends to steer clear of vegetables. We were really excited for her to have one of her favorite things which is mac & cheese but also have vegetables included. She couldn’t even tell that the vegetables were in the jar.

She really enjoyed this meal and ate the entire thing. I love serving my daughter things that she loves to eat but also knowing that they are also nutritious. Serving our daughter nutritious meals is very important to us.

Gerber is a brand that we can trust and when our daughter eats and uses Gerber products we feel confident that our daughter is getting things that are safe and good for her well-being. We can’t wait to try the other products that Gerber has to offer.

Gerber Mealtime for Baby Beef Vegetable comes in a 6 ounce glass jar. It is the perfect size for my 1 year old granddaughter. She really enjoyed the taste. I think the texture was perfect too. With some small chunks of vegetables and beef, it teaches her that she needs to chew and can’t just swallow food anymore.

Which is helping to prepare her for solid foods. I like that it comes in a resealable glass jar so if she doesn’t eat it all in one sitting I can easily refrigerate it and save it for later. I also like that you can serve it right from the jar or you can also warm it up.

Mealtime for Baby is a wonderful way to transition your little one to solid foods. A good source of nutrition and a good taste too.

Green peas are hard to find. Glad Gerber had it available. It was a little too thick for my baby, gagged a little at first, but he was able to tolerate. Feel it would be better tolerated with water added.

Once I introduced sweet potato, baby started refusing the green peas. However, once I mixed with the sweet potato baby was begging for more. I did not like the smell of the green peas, but it tasted delicious with or without the sweet potato added.

Homemade green peas can be high in nitrates, which the American Academy of Pediatrics claim can cause anemia in babies. So glad Gerber has it available since it is commercially regulated.

Our toddler loves his “Peter Rabbit snack” and asks for it most days – it’s been a way for him to get extra veggies (particularly on days where he’ll barely eat any), and helpful for on the go, and a supplement to lunch or solid food snacks.

This seems to be his favorite out of other veggie purées he’s tried. He also loves Peter Rabbit so that probably helps that his image is on each pouch.

Just purchased a pouch today from my local target. I was super excited to have my daughter try. I gave her a bite, and then got a whiff of the purée and instantly smelled that something was off. The expiration date is 02/25/2023.

but it smells like pure mold and there’s literally no taste.

Going out on a limb here, I would recommend these fruit and vegetable purees to anyone, of any age, at any time. I eat a very clean diet, based on whole foods, little to no refined carbs, and as much organic and raw food as I can get.

If you want a quick and healthy snack, grab one of the veggie-based purees, such as the kale, broccoli and mango, or the spinach, peas and pears, and enjoy every little mouthful. They’ll stave off the munchies, they’re full of nutritious foods, sometimes even superfoods, and there are very few calories in a pack.

The only thing they lack is “chew factor”, because they’re pureed. I travel a lot, and I always pack a few of these into my suitcase. (Not my carry-on, because I suspect TSA would not allow them through, since I have no baby with me.

) Whenever I’m between meetings, or if the meals being served at my conference do not have sufficient suitable fare, I just eat a couple of my veggie pouches, to tide me over until I can get to an appropriate meal.

Perfect! The pureed consistency takes a little bit of getting used to, if you expect to be able to chew all your food. But the flavors are great – very true to what’s on the label — and if you don’t mind half-drinking your snack, these are fantastic.

Just think of them as a smoothie, and you’ll find them to be very useful and enjoyable.

My daughter is 1 year and 6 months old, and of course, she has been eating both second and first courses from the common table for a long time. But sometimes I cook dishes that are not allowed for a child at that age, for example mushroom soup.

Mushrooms are considered heavy food for the stomach and they should not be given until 3 years old. And in such cases, I have mashed potatoes with baby puree from the store. The puree is uniform in color, the smell is pleasant.

My daughter eats with pleasure! It is also convenient to take soy for a walk or to a restaurant.

You can not go wrong with the apple and carrot combo. My baby loves the taste and eats it right up. The Plum Organics brand always offers great food combinations and the packaging is convenient as it is easy to open and easy to travel with.

I never worry that the packages will open in the diaper bag. This package is also easier than the jars to travel with and are lighter. Overall, my baby loved this specific flavor and it is a great option for a stage two food.

I will absolutely purchase again!.

This is the best investment. Ever deal with picky eaters? Well I have three! Every other breakfast, lunch, and dinner they don’t want what we have. Now I don’t got to worry about them not having the nutrients they should be having.

“Mom I don’t want this” – “it’s okay, go get a pouch!” “Mom I dont like it” – “I’m sorry babe, grab a pouch!” “Mom I don’t want food” – “that’s okay, but have a pouch”. The list goes on! They love it all! They have no idea they are having greens, veggies, fruits.

they love how it looks and it’s a perfect amount to fill a tiny belly.

I had the chance to get a free box with a coupon I found, and because they’re healthy and very low calorie I got super excited I didn’t have to pay to try them! (I’m always looking for healthy and low cal options to stay in my ideal weight range while in college since I don’t have much time to be active with all the studying).

Anyway, these are DELICIOUS and SO FLAVORFUL! I’m completely blown away! I definitely love Broccoli the most followed by spinach. The sweet potato is a bit too sweet to be an entree for me (but I’ll be trying it as a dessert with butter and brown sugar soon)… I’m over the moon as this perfect healthy and quick meal!!! They’re somehow crispy on the edges evenMicrowaved!!! 1000% reccommended by this 28 year old kid lol 😜.

My three grandkids wanted to give these littles a try, since they were on sale we got some. Popped them into the airfryer which gave them a slight crunch and then served as their veggie. All three kids love their veggies but they were not impressed with these.

I tryed one and thought they totally lacked flavor and the center was mushy. They are expensive for what you get making these a not affordable item for me. They are called “Littles” and they live up to their name, they are little.

All three kids love spinach so we will just stick with that.

No kids here, but there was a great deal on these so I picked some up for myself. Minus one star for appearance (they’re a much darker green/brown than the packaging shows). That didn’t affect the flavour, however.

I thought these were really tasty. Kids might not appreciate the amount of onion and garlic if they’re not used to it, but I love plenty of both. I was impressed by how savoury and flavourful these were with so few ingredients.

I would definitely buy again for an easy snack. I do feel that they’re a bit expensive for the quantity if I was to pay full price.

Even i think its tummy. My 15 month old absolutely loves this. She its it all up so fast! Its hard to find anything she loves like that. She loves the other flavours too. Highly recommend.

As an adult eating this it was a great starter to make a savoury rice. Nice texture

My daughter loves this. She would eat it every day if I let her. When I ask her what she’d like to eat – she will always say “yellow rice”. I’ve been known to share the packet with her. It’s easy to make, tasty and introduces sweet potato and corn into their diet too.

The product is tasty, but the texture is more like a mash. It is good, but I expect pieces of vegetables in it that stimulate the child to chew.

Good combination of ingredients with high quality. My baby loves it!

My son loved it. I think all hipp baby food are good.

My son is 18 months and has been eating these for almost a year! They are a great quick lunch that he loves. I love that he’s getting vegetables and he loves the fun shapes. My only complaint is that they are pretty oily once cooked.

Because of this, we don’t serve these for many meals, but we believe everything in moderation is good! My son would eat these every day if we gave them to him!.
