Melissa & Doug Wooden Scoop & Serve Ice Cream Counter, Pretend Play Store, 28 Toy Food & Play Kitchen Accessories, Preschool Toys for Girls & Boys 3+

This is the perfect gift for any ice cream loving child. I gifted this to my 2yo on his birthday and he has a blast with it every single day. He loves real ice cream and the ice cream truck music, so this was a perfect gift. The small ice cream cone is perfect for tiny toddler hands- this is my favorite part of this toy set. He carries his favorite cone combination everywhere- inside and outside. The ice cream scoops are a little loose in the cones. The scooper is tricky for a 2 yo but I’m sure great for a bit older child. Very well made, detailed, great for various ages, lots of fun. Highly recommend! Will make a great gift.

This has hands down been the favorite toy for both of our kiddos (ages 1 and 3), perfect for many age ranges. The pieces are very durable, the paint hasn’t chipped at all and it’s easy to assemble all the pieces together! Our daughter loves to use imaginary play to serve us ice cream while our son likes to work on his hand eye coordination to get the pieces to fit together. The little details to all the pieces are so eye catching and fun for the kids as well! We’ve also used this activity for different learning skills such as counting and colors!

I was honestly shocked about how nice this set is. Expecting the cheap plastic & hollow feel we're used to, I instead found a solid & completely functional set up. Every piece has its own place & the makes it easy for the younger kids. The scoop & everything actually works like it shows in the pictures. Theres also a very solid clear plexiglass like cover over one side giving it that real ice cream shop esthetic & feeling. It's sturdy & built to be passed down through the family. Even the menu & fake money are so well made. It was well worth the $10 difference over the other options. My daughters (8y,11y) loved it from first sight. They have a blast opening up shop everyday. It doesn't look or feel like it was made on an assembly line, but by someone who cares about the quality of both the physical & imaginary experience. Truly 5 stars

My 3 year old autistic child can quickly lose interest in a toy, but not this one! She loves her Melissa & doug ice cream shop! The ice cream scooper functions as intended, and all the pieces fit snug and stay together nicely! She never loses interest in this very well designed toy. It doesn't cause frustration or meltdowns for my little one- Compared to similar toys which use weak magnets to hold the ice cream cone together poorly. My child loves that when stacking all the pieces up high it does not fall apart. It eliminates the frustration factor many ASD kids struggle wish, creating space for imaginative play! 5 stars. I highly recommend this product and wish I purchased it sooner. It has a high price point, so I waited for it to go on sale. But don't let that detour you because like other Melissa & Doug products you truly get what you pay for.

Super cute set. Kids love playing with this and everything fits in the box it comes in. Great quality and well made

Big hit for all kids that come over to play. My daughter gets endless amounts of pretend play out of this toy.

Apparently, my living room is the hottest new ice cream parlor in town, run entirely by toddlers who don’t believe in hygiene or customer service. The Melissa & Doug Ice Cream Counter has transformed my children into very aggressive entrepreneurs. You will be served, whether you asked for it or not, and yes, your “order” will be hurled directly at your face.All our friend’s kids swarm this thing like it’s Coachella for dairy products. I’ve seen grown adults get roped into ordering sundaes that come with a side of chaos and zero refunds.But you know what? The kids LOVE it. They’re living, laughing, loving, and giving me a whole five minutes of peace while I drink my coffee. So yes, 5 stars. If you’re ready for your house to be overtaken by an unpaid staff of sugar-obsessed maniacs, this is the toy for you.

First saw this at our local library in children’s play area. Granddaughter (6 years old) had fun serving up ice cream to family and other kids in the area. We quickly decided to order the ice cream kit for her to play at home. As with all Melissa and Doug products, it is quality made. Has a menu to select from and includes durable play dollars. Offers a nice selection of ice cream and toppings. Includes scooper and ice cream cup/ 2 cone options. Pieces click into other pieces so it doesn’t fall apart. I would say 3-6 yr old would be would be best age range for this. If you have a lemonade stand, change sign to “Ice Cream Stand” and use that to serve ice cream!
