Fruit & Vegetable Fun
First off a correction needs to be made in the product description. It says "Forty 1-3/4" tall wooden pieces per set". This is incorrect, there are 35 pieces in this set (even says so on the back of the box, see uploaded image). Also the sizes vary depending on which fruit or veggie is portrayed, from small pieces like the strawberry at 1-1/8"x1-5/8" or chili pepper at 2-1/4"x5/8" to the largest, the pineapple, at 3-1/2"x1-3/4".
Now that being said, this is a great set. The pieces are well built of high density plywood with a full magnetic sheet back and fully laminated surface picture. They should hold up well to normal use although I wouldn't suggest them for little ones who still put things in their mouths. There is a great selection of fruits and veggies. In fact, without a full description of the contents of the package, I had originally looked at the silhouette design on the side of the package and thought there would be repeat pieces. This is not the case; there are 35 different fruits and veggies which I've listed below. Even though I bought the set with repeats in mind to use for a matching game I am very pleased to have the larger selection instead and now I am ordering another set.
