Pretend & Play Ice Cream Shop Review and Giveaway

Summer is ice cream time and my kids have been serving up non-stop ever since they got their Pretend & Play Ice Cream Shop from Learning Resources.

I have to say that I was surprised by how much they love this set.  I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised considering they have always like to order and deliver pretend food.  My 4 year old and 6 year old are always offering me the ice cream menu and letting me pick what they serve up! They really like to play with it and I am impressed at how sturdy the design is on all the elements.

The Pretend & PlayIce Cream Shop Set has all the accessories you kids could need to really get into the role play!

* Includes 4 scoops of ice cream, sugar cone, cake cone, sundae dish, banana split dish, “splittable” banana, scooper, 2 spoons, apron, write & wipe menu, ice cream carton and bottle that “squirts” pretend chocolate syrup (a mess-free brown string)
* Includes plenty of pieces so several children can role play together
* Develops hand-eye coordination and cooperation

  118. I like the super sorting pie. So cute, and my daughter would love it because like most toddler girls, she loves to pretend she’s baking or otherwise making something yummy :)

    The ice cream set is so cute and looks like great fun for her also. I like how you say it’s durable–that’s a must, as I have a 3 yr old, 2 yr old, and 1 yr old. And the fact that it has lots of pieces to share so that they all can play at once :)
