Play Food

With the Melissa and Doug Ice Cream Parlor Set, your kids will love scooping up some ice cream fun. All kids love ice cream cones, and this play food comes with four of their favorite flavors. They will have a blast mixing and stacking the scoops on top of the cones to serve up some ice cream treats. They can have their own little ice cream shop right in the comfort of their own house. You could add some other sets to make sure they have plenty of menu options for their hungry customers. Their little friends will swarm to your house to get in on the fun. With this wooden play food, you won’t have to worry about the ice cream melting and dripping all over the place. There is no fuss or muss with this ice cream. The kids will all scream for the set.

The designers of the Melissa and Doug Ice Cream Parlor Set realize that kids will want to share the fun they will have with this playset. This is why they have included two ice cream scoops and two ice cream cones. When they invite a little playmate over, there should be no fighting over whose turn it is to scoop. The only thing they may fight over is who gets what flavor. This comes with four flavors: chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and mint chip. They can pretend to add some sprinkles or anything else their little minds can come up with to jazz their cones up a bit.  The design of the ice cream and ice cream scoops is quite clever. They have embedded magnets in each of these so the little ones can easily maneuver them, and the ice cream stays stacked on top of each other, even with four scoops.  Because both are magnetized, the ice cream clasps right on to the scoop to make this very simple for little kids to use. They will probably like doing this more than anything else. The cones are made from wood, as are most of the Melissa and Doug play kitchen food, so they won’t get crushed when they are sat on or dropped or whatever other punishment kids will put them through.

We really like the idea of the magnets in the design of the Melissa and Doug Ice Cream Parlor Set. This is different than many of their other stuff. They normally use Velcro to keep the pieces together. The magnets are just more fun for kids to play with. All the kids have to do is put the scoop on the ice cream flavors and they automatically attract to each other. We are somewhat surprised the ice cream is plastic. One of the big selling points of their products is that they are made from wood, which makes them more durable than plastic. One last point, it would be nice if they would include a lid for the boxes they put their products in.
