Comiditas is the Spanish term for "tea party" and playing with food.
The Comiditas El Mercado Fruit and Vegetable Set is a special set of fruits and veggies for two reasons – first, it has the most pieces of all the Comiditas sets (24 fruits and veggies), and second, it includes unique pieces that are sold ONLY in this set and can not be purchased individually.

So, El Mercado is a great way to start your play food collection. El Mercado means “marketplace,” where you buy your produce, but it is also the term for the act of shopping for fruits and veggies.

The set consists of 1 artichoke, 1 whole cauliflower, 1 mango (peel-able!), 1 apple, 1 yellow squash, 1 potato, 1 orange, 4 strawberries, 1 avocado, 1 eggplant, 1 peach, 1 persimmon, 1 carrot, 1 zucchini, 1 pear, 1 chayote, 1 green bean, 2 cauliflower florets, and 1 tomato.

Comiditas products are hand-made of washable, acrylic felt. The purpose of using this fabric has to do with the ease in which to work with it, the variety of colors and the safety of cleaning of the toys.

About Comiditas:
Comiditas is a small business who seeks to create meaningful toys to play with and learn from.

They support toys that are simple but not dull. Toys made from fabric tend to be simple, as they don't need batteries, make noise, or have lights. And without these distractions, they offer an open door to a world of creativity and learning.

For example, the toys are made for both boys and girls. While playing with food has traditionally been a girl’s game, we know it is also interesting and engaging for boys. Experimenting with the texture and colours of the food through play is a wonderful learning experience for boys and girls alike.

Playing with your food is an invitation to learn about different fruits, vegetables, and food combinations. Comiditas encourages curiosity about food, and we can take advantage of that curiosity to promote good nutrition.
Washing instructions:
Since all pieces are hand-made, washing has to be a careful process. Comiditas strongly recommend that you wash each piece by soaking it in soapy warm water and let it sit for about 1 hour. Rinse thoroughly without pressing too hard. Let them dry flat on a towel for several hours.
