Why we like it at Happy Little Tadpole:
Interactive elements in pretend playsets are what makes them a cut above the rest. For this pretend play ice cream set, it has a couple of elements that set it above other pretend play ice cream sets. First, it’s made of wood instead of plastic (win!). Second, it has interactive and learning elements like a functional scooper, topping options, and money for pretending to pay and practicing counting skills. This set is also gender-neutral, making a fun set for both little girls and boys to scoop & serve ice cream.

Gift Pairing Idea: Pair this Scoop & Serve Ice Cream Set with an ice-cream themed children’s book like Just One More, that also has a great message that sometimes, one scoop is enough and you don’t need anymore!
