Summer Birthday Bash! Learning Resources Pretend & Play Ice Cream Shop Review & Giveaway



Both of my girls love to play with pretend food. I think all little girls do. We have a little kitchen set, pots, pans, and dishes. But one thing we didn't have was an ice cream set. With summer just getting started, a toy ice cream set seemed like the perfect addition to the Summer Birthday Bash. I found just what I was looking for at Learning Resources. All of their toys and games provide hours of pretend play fun and many of them also teach kids math, science, history and more.

For our review, we received the Pretend & Play Ice Cream Shop. The set comes with several scoops of ice cream, cones, whip cream, dishes, spoons, a banana, a scooper, an apron and more. My daughters are ten and 17 months and they both loved this set. Even my eight year old son wanted to play (just don't tell his friends-LOL). The little scooper really picks up the ice cream cream so you can serve it on the dishes and cones. The banana is held together with Velcro you can pretend to slice it. There is even a chocolate syrup bottle that shoots out a stream of brown string that looks just like the real thing without all the mess. My kids played with this set for hours. It was so cute watching Willow pretending to lick her ice cream cone. At only $26.99, this set is the perfect summer toy for preschool kids.








The ice cream shop is only one examples of dozens of fun games available at Learning  Resources for kids of all ages. Their website is simple to navigate. You can shop by category or by age. Be sure to check out their sale section for savings on already low prices. With the summer vacation on the horizon, we will all be shopping for toys and games to keep our kids entertained on rainy days. You can find lots of fun options to encourage imagination at Learning Resources.  Plus with their educational games, you can teach them something new and they will be having so much fun they won't even realize it.





One very lucky winner is going to receive the same Pretend & Play Ice Cream Shop that I received to review.
