what are the boxes made of? cardboard?

Yes. I haven't gotten them out of the box because it is a gift but can tell they are cardboard.

How many strands of linguini come in the set?

I don't remember for sure; maybe 8 or 9. The set is really cute, and the bow ties are adorable. My niece loves it.

What is the pasta made out of?

Pasta is made out of thick felt, ravioli has Velcro so my niece can put the “stuffing” in and take it out when she’s playing chef. She’s had it almost a year and it’s held up well

The pasta is made of sewn felt to give dimension to the pasta shapes. You could wash them carefully by hand. The boxes are made of cardboard so wipe clean only. The pots and utensils are plastic so they can be washed. Very nice quality set and fun to play with. The pretend mat that comes along with it is a nice touch as well and can be wiped clean. Same with the cooking directions that are easy to understand. Very nice, quality toy.

本物そっくりで楽しい！子どもの創造力を育むパスタセット

本物そっくりで楽しい！子どもの創造力を育むパスタセット 3歳の娘のために購入しました。木製のおもちゃは温かみがあり、安心して遊ばせられます。一番の魅力は、本物そっくりのパスタや具材で、子どもが夢中になって「いらっしゃいませ！」とお店屋さんごっこを始めたことです。フォークやスプーンも付いているので、本物のお料理のように、麺をフォークに絡める練習もできます。子どもの想像力や手先の発達を促したい方に、自信を持っておすすめします。
