Wooden Sandwich-Making Toy Set  8.5/10

A company known for its fine craftsmanship when it comes to classic wooden toys, Melissa & Doug made a hit with the wooden sandwich-making set, available for $16.51. The 16 wooden pieces, colorfully painted to look like bread, tomatoes, cheese, and meat, stack together in various ways with Velcro inserts. Kids will get a kick out of “cutting” their sandwiches with the wooden play knife and hearing a crinkling noise from the Velcro. These pieces are essentially stacking blocks but with a fun, creative twist—children always love playing with pretend food, and these pieces foster motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and learning colors, shapes, and counting.
