After my mom got my son a toy food truck and we saw how much he loved pretending to make food for us, my wife thought he might like this. He loves it. He loves trying to stack all the scoops on top of each other and serving it to us. Not sure if the toy is recommended for 2 year olds, he's probably a little young, and the only complaint I have is that he has a hard time working the ice cream scoop. It's too hard for him to hold it and press the button to release the scoop at the same time, but that's because his hands are so small still and I'm pretty sure this product is probably intended for kids a year or two older, so I wouldn't consider that a fault of the product. But all in all he really loves it and has a great time with it, so it gets 5 stars.
I cannot say enough good things about this product! It is perfect. The quality is top notch. Each of the pieces is perfectly shaped and fits well into each other to stack easily and, surprisingly, sturdy as well. The little menu is high quality and even allows you to write with dry erase markers to select items. My children have so much fun playing store with this. This is easily hours of fun for kiddos who like to engage in pretend play. The set even comes with a little taster spoon and lots of cute toppings. It also includes pretend money that is not cheaply made, withstands the test of a two year old! I would recommend this product for sure. So cute, even parents will want to try!
This is a fantastic play set! Our two (and a half) year old loves it, and so do we. Super-cute and fun - comes with a menu and play money too, so it's even educational! The little details are awesome. There's a sneeze-guard, a little spoon, two kinds of cones, and all the pieces store neatly in the ice cream counter itself. By far the most fun and least annoying toy that we have in the house. :)
This is the cutest toy! After 4 kids we've had too many toys, and I'm surprised at how entertaining an ice cream stand can be for both kids and adults. The scoop really works to pick up the scoops of ice cream and place them in the cones or cup. There is a generous amount of ice cream flavors and toppings, and the little spoon, menu and stand itself are way too cute. This is one of the few toys that I can honestly say is fun for all of my kids, ages 7 months - almost 7 years old. Perfect for boys and girls and worth every penny.
This was a really unique toy and definitely worth it for my son's 4th birthday. He is lover of all things sweet like most kids, and loves imaginative play. We own many Melissa & Doug toys and they just can't be beat for quality and design. Love that the scooper actually picks up the pieces. There's a variety of flavors and toppings and they all stick to each other. Also love the cup or cone choices and little tongs. Everything is organized together really neatly and compactly - I'm a nut about losing pieces so we always make sure everything is put back in the organized compartments and slots! The menu is really cute and helps my son remember the flavors and toppings and encourages social interaction and imgination. We use this in conjunction with our kids cash register and have a blast serving up ice cream! My 2 year old loves it as well!
