Learning Resources Pretend & Play Snack Shop

WOW was I impressed! My 9 year old son & I played for over an hour with this product through various scenarios. He has no idea I was working in algebra, critical thinking, inferences, and other skills. This would be great for a resource room, homeschool teacher, tutor, or a small classroom. The product itself is WELL made of STURDY fiberboard covered in vinyl. It folds up neatly with a handle for carrying and has Velcro pockets that hold everything! The only thing I do differently is the write on wipe off signs-we use our own markers instead of the crayons provided. The crayons just aren't very neat. The other issue is the age suggestion of 3 and up. If your 3 year old still puts things in their mouth you probably need to put the play money up for a while-the change is quite small. All in all this is a durable, fun, and educational product.

Well being a part of Walmart Spark Reviewer the learning resource pretend and paly snack shop was very easy to set up. I saw my seven years old daughter look at the instruction and the picture on the box and fit the learning resource pretend and play snack shop up I could not believe it. She love it because it help her to know math and also help her do addition and subtraction. She play with it her two sisters, they play shop it is a very interesting game and I love it. Her two sisters also love to play with the paly snack shop. I will recommend it to my sisters, nieces, nephew, cousins relative and friends. The learning resource pretend and play snack shop is good for a birthday or Christmas gifts. They all love it. She also shows me how to for the game and also hope to assemble and reassemble the game. I help he to do math. I love it. it is a good game for young girls and boys to learn from. I do not have any picture sorry.

The Snack Shop is too cute. Great design for the stand. Very nice signs and good placement of them. A plus that the signs were laminated making them a little more durable. Love the fruits, cupcakes, ice cream cones, pretzels, and all the other goodies. The picture on the box was very helpful in placement of the food. The stand help up better then I expected. The storage pockets were great in keeping all the pieces that came in this set organized. The pockets are large enough so the pieces are not crammed into the pocket making it hard to close. The snack shop folded up nicely and fairly nicely and compact making it easy to transport. The shop has a board to advertise the daily specials. THe crayons drew on smoothly and the eraser worked well to my surprise. Logan my almost four year old grandson loves playing with the food. They are too cute. He is still a little young to learn the concept of money. Logan likes to pretend he's selling things so I'm sure in no time he will catch on quickly. He really is enjoying this product.

I just recently received the Learning Resources Pretend & Play Snack Shop and it is awesome! It comes with a bunch off accessories too. It comes with about 28 "food" items, 5 crayons, a crayon eraser, 16 "sale" prices, ten dollar bills and a BUNCH of coins! It also comes with a bunch of different signs such as a clock that says "be back at", a sign that says "today's specials" and more. The yellow stand is double sided as well. One side has two flip down "shelves" for you to sit the food etc. The other side has three little pouches with velcro that are for "storage" "coins" and "bills." There is also a little drop down section that says "bakery" on it. The kit as a whole folds up for easy storage too. There were a couple of things that I would change such as laminate the "bills." They are made from a very thin paper and I would not be surprised if my daughter accidentally rips one. I almost ripped one just opening the packaging it came in. I have a laminating machine so I will be laminating them tonight. The food that comes with this set is VERY small. I was a little surprised when I opened the box. My daughter still loves it but this food is unbelievably small compared to all the other play food she has. Bottom line...I would buy this set again!

This playset is a reall "treat" (pun intended) for kids young and old. My son who is 7 enjoyed setting up his snack shop and selling to his sister and anyone else who passed by. This playset had lots of little fake edibles such as fruits, ice cream and cookies. He put it all together himself and wrote his name on the shop sign and placed the prices where he wanted. I loved the ease of how everything fit together with no problems. While he played I noted the details and colors as well as how things were made. Here are the pros and cons of this playset: Pros: The playset was sturdy and edges well sewn together, I saw nothing pulling apart. Cards included were thick and coated for writing on and cleaning. Lots of items to sell, good theme for a classroom for learning math, community helpers and taking turns. There are 2 pockets for storing money/coins/price cards and food items. Child can customize it by writing their name on the top as well as pricing own items using included crayons. Item folds together and is able to be taken places by use of handle. Just make sure everything is closed up tight inside. We had a few coins fall out. Cons: The food slid off repeatedly from the middle display shelf so we had to level it out using a small box. I could see a child get frustrated that it will not stay. Maybe felt would have helped keep it in place? Included crayons broke rather easy as you had to write kind of hard to get words onto the cards. Maybe Crayola would work since they are darker colored? an over all cute playset that was tons of fun...both my children love imaginary play and have grocery baskets, shopping cart, plastic food items and a little register that they pull out to combine with the snack shop. I even give them my expired coupons to play with. And though they are much older, 7 and 10, they both agreed they enjoyed this item and recomend it for young and older children.

As a former teacher, I am always looking for educational and yet fun toys or activities to enrich my children's learning at home. The Learning Resources Pretend & Play Snack Shop is one such toy. My seven year old son and five year old daughter did not stop playing with this 'shop' for over an hour when we first opened it up. They loved the funny money, the plastic cookies, apples, and other 'food' included. The kids set up their shop, and then while one was the shopkeeper, the other was the shopper. They exchanged 'money' for goods, and had so much fun 'selling' and 'buying'. They even willingly took turns playing the roles! This kind of toy/activity would be great for homeschoolers and Kindergarten through second grade. The enclosed plastic coins are on the small side, so I did not let my orally fixated five year old play with them, but other kids may not have an issue with it. Pictures of coins printed on card stock are also included, with the numeric value on the reverse side. This is great for teaching the value of the coins, and what they look like in a flashcard type of style. I also noticed that the shop itself is made of vinyl-covered heavy duty cardboard, and is very sturdy. You could reverse the shop and make it a puppet theater if you wanted to, which makes it quite versatile--and that much more fun and educational!

I love this toy. It has fun and learning all in one. My granddaughter is 5 years old and we played with this for hours. I love that you can teach the value of money and how to be friendly to people, your costumers. I love that it has compartments for all of the loose items. The coins. the dollar bills, and the fruit and veggies. it has a nice way of displaying all the fruits and items. There is just the right amount of stuff that you can display. I think that if you have too much it would over load the pouches for storing. It was a hit. She loved playing with this snack shop. It is really a great way to teach the value of food and what things will cost when you go to the store. This Play Snack Shop is a great it can also keep your child's interest. It also come with pencils and a small pad of paper. I like that the Play snack shop opens into a shop on one side and the customer can see into the store from the outside. It's great. I don't think there is anything is wrong with this item. It is sturdy and the best part is you can put all your loose items away in the storage pouch and fold it up and take it with you. I do recommend this Product to everyone. your kids will love it.

My children play with the Snack Shop at their afterschool daycare. The Snack Shop is a favorite among many children. Not only does the Snack Shop have interesting play items, it teaches many things. It keeps multiple children entertained for quite a while. After months of use at the afterschool program, my children have the Snack Shop at the top of their holiday list. My 3-year-old loves the "cupcakes," my 6-year-old likes posting prices, and my 8-year old like sorting the goods. Fun!

This is a cute little play set. There are a good amount of pieces, but the storage compartments holds them nicely. There is play money included that can help your child count, and learn to spend money at the store, (like they will do in the near future lol). The coins can help your child (if they don't already) learn the difference between pennies, dime, nickels, and quarters. There's only 1 dollar bills, but that's not a big deal because they are just learning. You can put up and change the pricing, and "Today's Special" as much as you want, because of the included crayons and eraser. My child has fun playing "store", and I think any young child would too.

The game is well packaged, and most of the pieces are durable/ sturdy. There are two popcorn boxes made of paper, which will likely not last the test of time. Rest of the snacks are made of plastic and pretty durable. Also its nice that the entire snack shop can be folded and put away for easy storage. The included eraser and crayons both work well and there are outside pockets to store them and the money. It's very cute for children who love imaginative play. It's basic and small but makes for easy storage and the ability to carry it around to other. I love that you can teach the value of money and how to be friendly to people, your costumers. I love that it has compartments for all of the loose items. The coins. the dollar bills, and the fruit and veggies. My Grandkids had fun playing with this for hours.
