Description
This wooden shopping playset puts a proper little supermarket basket and a cupboard's worth of wooden groceries into one cheerful toy. The basket is made of metal and plastic, with a silver wire body and two carry handles finished in turquoise grips. Inside go the wooden groceries, each one decorated with its own illustrated label: a turquoise milk carton with a black and white cow, a tall bottle of fresh orange juice, a box of oats with a wheat sprig, a red pot of strawberry jam, an orange and yellow wedge of cheese with a mouse, a round tin of sardines and a block of butter. The whole set measures 23.2cm long, 16.2cm wide and 9cm high, and weighs 0.609KG.
We think it belongs wherever pretend play happens: on the playroom floor, at the end of the kitchen table or in a bedroom nook set up as a corner shop. The groceries fill the basket, and a round of shopping can begin straight away, with one player running the till and another filling the basket from the shelf. The bold labels give plenty to talk about, from naming each food to reading the big, clear words on every piece. Because it is all in one basket, it is easy to carry from room to room and just as easy to pack away. It makes a lovely gift that feels generous without taking up much space.
The groceries are made of wood with bright illustrated labels, while the basket pairs metal wire with plastic on its handles for a comfortable hold. To keep everything looking fresh, wipe the wooden pieces with a damp cloth and dry them straight away rather than soaking them, and give the basket a wipe with a soft cloth. Store the groceries back in the basket after play and the set tidies itself away. Tie a ribbon round the handles and it is ready to give.
