Good quality articles (like other already bought this brand of toys), painting, realistic colors the knife and cutting board small are nice. I chose this model because carrots and tomatoes are cut into three pieces instead of two, although to vary the gestures and difficulty. My son (27 months) loves cut but still needs help to pick the right pieces together. A vegetable more "classic" in our kitchen as chili, zucchini or as leeks have been more useful.
