Realistic Ice Cream and Scoopers Act Like the Real Thing
--------------------------------------------------------
The detailed scoops of ice cream in Melissa & Doug's Ice Cream
Scoop Set come in four varieties: vanilla, chocolate, strawberry,
and mint chocolate chip. Each scoop contains a magnet that
attaches to the scooper handle--and then detaches when the
handle's button is pressed--so your child can pick up and stack
ice cream just like an adult!
Materials Are Durable and Safe for Years of Play
------------------------------------------------
In this Ice Cream Scoop set, each ice cream top is constructed
of strong, durable plastic and decorated to look like popular ice
cream flavors. The cones are made of wood, and each scooper
features a wooden handle and plastic scoop mechanism. A whimsical
plastic container provides a spot to store the ice cream tops and
is decorated to look like a real box of ice cream, including some
rather entertaining "tional facts."
Fun Play Set Helps Kids Learn
-----------------------------
The back of the Ice Cream Scoop package suggests several
different games to play with the ice cream set, each designed to
help your child improve their pattern re, motor skills,
and math proficiency. Whether it's asking for a specific
combination of flavors or naming each flavor as they scoop, kids
will enjoy scooping and playing, while simultaneously exercising
their mind.
Our testers found the play set to be well constructed and made
of high-quality materials. The magnets could be a little
stronger, but, in general, the scooping action was easy and the
scoops of ice cream clicked together securely.
