Melissa & Doug Snacks & Sweets Food Cart - Pretend Play Wooden Shop With Toy Food, Large Playset, Accessories, 3+, Gift for Boy or Girl

This is currently a Christmas present in waiting, and whilst our little girl hasn’t recieved it yet I already know she will have hours of play out of this item. Out of the flat-pack box, you’re confronted with an almost daunting amount of parts to assemble, however it all comes together reasonably quickly. The instructions are very comprehensive and easy to follow, and the few tools necessary to complete the build are included along with the screws, nuts and bolts. It took about an hour from opening the box and checking all the parts, through to completion. Built, it is a very sturdy piece of kit, although not too heavy. It looks and feels like it’s made to last, which can’t be said for a lot of toys at the same price point on the market today. Additionally it comes with an array of accessories, that will keep our little girl amused no doubt. Whilst it’s not a “cheap” toy, I’m anticipating hours of fun. It’s value ultimately will be measured in how much joy and entertainment our little girl gets out of it. I think she’s going to LOVE it!

So we saw this at a soft play centre in our local area, and I had to have it, my kids fell in love with it. We own so many Melissa & Doug toys, and they have all lasted and lasted. Wooden toys are definitely the way forward, much more durable! It comes with so many fun parts! And it all looks so realistic. The cart itself, on opening you literally scream and think SO MANY PARTS! But it’s super easy to put together, and that’s coming from someone who is useless with building stuff! My favourite is how you can change it from and ice cream cart, to a hot dog cart! Keeps the kids busy for hours, they absolutely love it! It’s perfect, and worth every penny.

Part A is missing both times when I ordered a replacement. How am I supposed to build this if the right part is not there. Please send Part A!!!!

This is a great cart

This is a nice little cart. Pretty easy to put together unless it is your first try at anything like it. My daughter is 4 and loves it but she loves pretend play so this type of thing suits her perfectly. The barrow action means she can move it around too. It is expensive and there are other cheaper versions available. Not sure this has anything significant to justify the difference in price.

I think this is a great toy for kids to learn more imaginative play! It’s is easy to set up, just a little bit fiddly in places. All the screws come in a pack clearly labelled which helped with the set up for sure. The pieces that are provided are good quality and I think it’s an all round great gift.

Great learning toy.. Very well made and hours of fun by all the children

So we ordered THREE of these as the first 2 that was delivered was badly damaged and missing items. Unsure why but amazon would not publish my comment and staff were unable to tell me why for giving a fair and honest account of our experience. Would recomend that if buying for a gift to fully assemble to ensure no dissapointment. These are very heavy to have to return. As we had to wait a few days we had 1 upset little boy. We would have purchased elsewhere but only place to buy them is here. However, now we have one that come in mostly decent condtion, our son couldnt be happier. Although it does have a missing peice its not worth the hassle of contacting amazon. It is a wonderful toy that my son has had hours of fun. As i said, i would recomend but ensure that you assemble.
