Review: Fun and educational toy and extra storage for kitchen food - I bought this toy for my 2 y/o daughter and 3 1/2 year old son. They both have been asking to play supermarket and enjoy using it. I was debating between this toy and a Little Tikes market. The reason I decided on the Melissa and Doug toy was because it seemed bigger and therefore would be able to hold the abundance of play food that the kids already have. The Melissa and Doug has nine bins versus little tike's six. The Melissa and Doug did not come, however, with the doors, food, the ice cream cones, or a cash register, they might enjoy playing with. So I had to buy the cash register and Melissa and Doug Ice cream set. I am glad I did because my son immediately asked for "ice cream" remembering it from the picture of the little Tikes Market that I showed him. He did not miss or notice the doors. It also has these tabs that hold little chalkboards the kids can practice writing on. The only problems with the tabs are that they are not durable. One broke the first day, and it was partly my fault because I was not looking and my 2 year old decided to climb the toy. I had to explain to her that this is not what it was for. Melissa and Doug were very kind enough to, rather quickly, send me a replacement bin, free of charge. That was a big plus for me and one of the reasons I rated the product with five stars. Another issue for parents with younger children, and from what I noticed with one reviewer who complained that the toy was "too advanced", is that this is not a toy that you just hand over to young children and expect them to play with "correctly". You have to be there and explore the toy with them. Arrange the food by color and types, practice writing on the chalkboards, talk about purchasing and how things cost money, etc. It can be a very fun and educational toy for even a 2 y/o. We talk about the different types of food one would find in a supermarket. We also have carts and put the food in the cart as we are shopping and then in a bag to "take home" to their play kitchen to cook. So don't be intimidated by expecting your kids to immediately go shopping on their own. Melissa and Doug's website also has ideas of how to use this toy. Also one person complained of not being able to write their own name on the sign. That problem can easily be solved by taking some black contact paper, writing whatever you want with chalk, and placing it on top of the sign. The toy was not difficult to put together. I put it together, while 6 month's pregnant, by myself, with my two toddlers unhelping me, in about 40 minutes. No major tools are needed, maybe a flat screwdriver to hold and turn the little metal dowel nuts in place. It comes with an Allen wrench. Basically if you can put together Ikea furniture, you can put this together. The instructions are good and straightforward. This is a great toy for Kwanzaa, Christmas, Chanukah, Winter Solstice, Birthdays or whatever you wish to celebrate. Review: Great learning piece for a great price! - Even as the mom.. this toy makes me want to play along with my kids: It brings the kid out in all of us as a flashback to shopping with our moms. Lessons are endless with this toy once you add some toy foods, money, basket, crafts to the bins. Possibilities are endless! ## Features - Wooden play center performs double duty as both a grocery store and lemonade stand - Flip the awning to let customers know what you're selling today - Portable plastic bins for pretend shopping or storage - Sturdy wood construction and easy assembly - Makes a great gift for girls and boys, ages 3 to 6, for hands-on, screen-free play ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000VNXSS2 | | Age Range Description | 3+ years | | Best Sellers Rank | #135,789 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #49 in Toy Shopping Carts | | Brand Name | Melissa & Doug | | Color | Multi-color | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,145 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Creative Expression, Fine motor Skills, Imaginative Play, Number Recognition | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00000772040709 | | Included Components | activity center, awning, 9 bins, 9 chalkboards, | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Item Dimensions | 7.49 x 18.71 x 34.08 inches | | Item Part Number | 4070 | | Item Type Name | Pretend Play | | Item Weight | 26.8 pounds | | Manufacturer | Melissa & Doug | | Manufacturer Part Number | 4070 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | From Melissa And Doug | | Manufacturer recommended age | 36 months - 6 years | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Number | 4070 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Set Name | Grocery Store | | Size | 34.0 x 19.0 x 7.75 | | Sub Brand | Doug | | Supported Battery Types | No batteries required | | Theme | Grocery | | UPC | 000772040709 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Images ![Melissa & Doug Wooden Grocery Store and Lemonade Stand - Reversible Awning, 9 Bins, Chalkboards - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610Ygi6BQKL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: product information** A: I bought this for my 3 year old nephew in September. It comes with 9 bins and 9 little chalkboard tiles to write on. It can either be a grocery store or a lemonade stand, just have to flip the canopy. This store does not come with any of the accessories it shows in the picture. Melissa and Doug is made of all wood and is very easy to assemble. I did it myself in about 1 hour and 15 minutes. **Q: ages** A: My husband and I bought this item for my 8 yr old grand daughter to sale lemon aid and baked goods at our yard sale. It's small but worked very well. We put the lemonade in a five gallon bubba cooler mounted on a stand behind the store stand. The stand was colorful and easy to put together. Very attractive., but not very wide or tall. It worked well for us. **Q: What are the dimensions of the bins?** A: Hi! The bins, including the lip, are 7.5” across x 10.5” long x 3” deep. The interiors are 6” x 10” x 2.5”...just right for a great assortment of delicious food! **Q: Do the chalk boards (for labeling bins) come with this version?** A: I ordered this for my daughter last Christmas (2012) and it did then and would assume it still does. It's a pretty well thought out and well made toy. We actually made lemonade and sold it at a neighborhood yard sale in the spring. She's 5 and used the chalkboards to write notes, play tic tac toe, and draw. Very "old school" kind of toy which I appreciate. No video games, no angry birds, no wardrobe changes! Looks like it will last for years to come ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun and educational toy and extra storage for kitchen food *by L***C on December 6, 2012* I bought this toy for my 2 y/o daughter and 3 1/2 year old son.

Lessons are endless with this toy once you add some toy foods, money, basket, crafts to the bins. Possibilities are endless! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sturdy fun play piece *by K***L on July 22, 2015* Fun set that had provided hours of fun for five and six year old. We purchased fruits and veggies to go with it as well as lemonade items. Set up with cash register, baggies, and various other items to make it a full store. Was surprised the construction is not flimsy particle board. It is very sturdy and very heavy with solid wood pieces and slats. The chalkboard pieces are small but appropriate for little hands tho writing must be small. It's time consuming to put together and I suggest reading through entirely as you set aside each part with the appropriate bolts, screws, etc. some pieces are harder to get together than others we found such as the side shelves. Read directions carefully so not to put it opposite. As the mom I put together with six year old helping and it took us four hours on and off with breaks and just goofing off. So I'm guessing a total of two hours total for work as we had a difficult time with the sides and holding the heavy piece steady as pieces were attached. It is worth the effort as the quality is far superior to many products and the quality of this Melissa and Doig product is indeed excellent. ## Frequently Bought Together - Melissa & Doug Wooden Grocery Store and Lemonade Stand - Reversible Awning, 9 Bins, Chalkboards - Melissa & Doug Fresh Mart Grocery Store Play Food and Role Play Companion Set - Melissa & Doug Let's Play House!
