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

I absolutely love the Melissa & Doug Ice Cream Set! The first thing that really stood out to me is how sturdy it is. Since it’s made out of solid wood, it feels durable and well-crafted, not flimsy like many plastic toys. It holds up great to lots of play and still looks wonderful over time. The wooden pieces have a nice weight to them, which makes pretend play feel more realistic and satisfying. The set is also beautifully designed, with bright colors and smooth finishes that show the quality Melissa & Doug is known for. Overall, this ice cream set is a fantastic toy—durable, safe, and perfect for imaginative play. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a long-lasting, high-quality toy that kids will enjoy again and again! 🍦

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 came across my feed because there's a deal on it right now, and I just needed to say that is is genuinely such a great buy. I bought it 3 years ago and it's still hanging around the house, put away for some time and then brought back out again and again. It's sturdy, well-made, and the paint is durable and makes all the parts easy to clean. Most of all, the concept is fun and executed well. The scoop works like a real one and the design is just like a build-your-own ice cream shop. I've ordered hundreds of wooden ice cream cones from my kids over the years, and I imagine I'll still be ordering for a while to come. This is one of the few Christmas toys that has proven its value.

I'm here to convince you this is THE ice cream set after I bought 3 different brand and returned the other 2. I purchased this at full price (last minute birthday present because I didn't like the other 2 I bought before) and am not affiliated/sponsored by anyone (**cries in real money**). I am a pediatric speech language pathologist and a lover of M&D toys so I intend this to be a thorough review. I bought this for my one year old's birthday. As mentioned before, I bought two other sets (one store brand from a very popular red store) and the other on Amazon, both were $25-35. I purchased this M&D ice cream set for $50 after taxes. Even though this set was double the price, it was completely worth it. Pros: -Materials: Ice cream scoops and cones are wood, toppings are bendable plastic. There is a wood taster spoon, a plastic bowl, and a scoop with a wood handle and plastic scooper. The two other brand sets I bought were all plastic. -Quality: This is the main toy that kids play with at our local library that we've been visiting for 3 years, and it has held up. I feel like that's the biggest testament to quality. (**READ THIS**)Set up- Every ice scream scoop, utensil, and topping has a place in the container. I think this is a reason the one at our library has survived so long. Everything having a place is a big deal in our house to prolong play. The other brand sets I bought did not have enough space for everything which increased clutter and reduced the possibilities of play. It doesn't matter if other sets come with more pieces if the pieces are just going to get lost and not part of functional play. -made for play- The set up mimics an ice cream counter which invites interactive play. My toddler plays with 6+ year olds with this by one kid "ordering" through the plastic front, and the other "serving" on the ice cream side. There is also a menu included that can be used to order from by checking boxes or pointing. Every ice cream flavor and topping is visible through the plastic and in a logical placement. Again, this was also a big loser from the other brands- one had shelves only visible to the server side. This is GREAT to promote social skills, pretend play, and language!!! -stackable: the ice cream scoops can stack on top of each other to make a tall cone/cup. This greatly expands the possibilities of play and of course was the first thing my kids did with it. One set of another brand I bought did not allow for stacking. -Speech, language and social development- this is an open ended toy that is great for young kiddos to learn through play. My 2 y/o toddler picked up the words single, double, and triple in one play setting. My baby learned to pretend lick the cone, ask for more, etc. I am a firm believer that M&D carefully craft their products to promote skills through play. Yes, im kicking myself for not buying this one first. -fine motor skills- great to promote fine motor skills. Cons I have no cons, I fully believe this is the perfect ice cream set. Age group: 1+. My one year old is interested in this and enjoys putting the scoops in the spots/cones. My 2 y/o will spend an hour playing with this making different scoops for everyone. At the library, older kids (I would guess up to 10 y/o) also play with this toy. I imagine it will be a staple in our hosue for a long time.

This came recommended by a friend but only did I buy it when my daughter pointed it out in the Amazon Catalog. Still not verbal but she made it seem like this is what she wanted for her birthday. Huge hit!!! Such a cute toy that encourages imaginative play and interaction with others. Quality product as always with Melissa and Doug. Everything is mostly wooden and built to last!

an exceptional playset that delivers hours of imaginative fun while fostering early learning skills. This charming wooden toy has quickly become a favorite in our household, and it’s easy to see why.

What a fun little ice cream shop set. My 6 year old plays with it ALL the time!! Very durable. And very detailed! Quality product

Great gift, excellent quality! My great granddaughter loves her gift. She started taking ice cream orders instantly !😂 She’s only three but knew how to put together an ice cream cone! Super cute gift !

Lots of fun for a four year old. There is a cute menu and you can rattle off orders for her to prepare a multi tiered ice cream cone with toppings and such.
