This engaging Fruit & Vegetable Match set includes 28 beautifully printed wooden tiles, designed to help children explore and identify different types of produce. Each of the 14 pairs consists of an outer view of a fruit or vegetable matched with its corresponding cross-section, allowing children to gain a deeper understanding of food composition. The chunky, smooth-finished tiles are perfectly sized for small hands, making them an ideal resource for early learning environments. This set encourages visual recognition, categorisation, and memory skills while fostering an interest in healthy eating and food science.
