Shouldn't it be piàn for the 'slices' of bread?
Mandarin Blueprint
片 is indeed a common measure word for slices of bread, but 个 isn't wrong and we don't want to have too many top-down words

John Sanders
In sentence 1 (这个小朋友够不着他想拿的东西), could the 他 be referring to someone else instead if the context allowed?
E.g. This child can’t reach the thing (that some other male) wants to grab.
As I would've thought if it is referring to himself, we would use the word 自己 instead of 他?
Mandarin Blueprint
Yes, it certainly could. It all depends on the surrounding context. For himself, both 自己 and 他 can work.
Lyuboslava Jordanova
Could you briefly explain the usage of 了 here:
这些食物够你吃一天了
Thank you!
Mandarin Blueprint
Whenever you see 了 it's indicating a change or completion, so you can assume that food recently wasn't enough for a whole day but now it is.
