Melissa & Doug Grocery Store/Lemonade Stand

Wednesday, December 23, 2009 Posted by Felicia

I love to watch kids role play and mimic the jobs and roles they see adults doing.  It is so much fun to watch them learn about how our world functions.  If you are familiar with Melissa and Doug toys, you will know that they are well known for their quality and uniqueness.  They have a ton of options for helping your little one grow, learn, and role play the world around them!







We were sent the Melissa and Doug Grocery Store/Lemonade Stand for review.  First of all, it is absolutely adorable and well proportioned for kids!  The plastic bins are easy to load and unload and the height is just right for toddlers and even bigger kids.  Secondly, it has the same wonderful Melissa and Doug quality that you are used to.  The wooden frame feels extremely sturdy and there are no sharp corners that I have found.  It is also very aesthetically pleasing.  If you are like me, you worry about something this large taking over your house.  No worries!  It is going to look adorable in the play room, the living room, or your child's bedroom.

The Melissa and Doug Grocery Store/Lemonade Stand features a reversible awning that let's your child decide if they will be selling produce or opening up shop for some refreshments on a sunny day.  There are 9 plastic bins with removable chalkboard signs so that you can keep your items separated like any great grocer would do!  The sides have ample storage shelves for even more of your child's fun play foods, toys, or games.








I can see this toy also being a valuable educational tool.  Use the bins to separate foods by color and label the chalkboard accordingly.  You could even start practicing food groups.  If you have a cash register, this could be a fun way to introduce making change and counting money. If it's a sunny day, why not open up an actual Lemonade Stand and put your child's math and social skills to work in real life?

The Grocery Store/Lemonade Stand is perfect for children ages 3 and up and does not include food.  Melissa and Doug have some adorable play food you can purchase for about $19.99 to go along with this.  You can purchase the Grocery Store/Lemonade Stand for about $129.99 online or at a retailer near you.

This product was provided free of charge by Melissa and Doug. These are my honest opinions on the product. I do not post reviews on products I can not stand behind. Please see my Terms of Use for more info.

This giveaway has ended.  Congratulations to Dana!
