Open for Business
Whether it's a scorching Australian summer afternoon or a rainy winter day indoors, the ice cream shop is always open. The set invites children to step into a role, creating their own narratives. Today they might be selling treats at the beach; tomorrow, they're hosting a tea party for their teddies. This open-ended nature means the play evolves as they grow—from simple grasping and sorting at age two to complex financial transactions and social scenarios at age four.
Built for Little Hands
Unlike plastic toys that can crack or lose their appeal, these solid rubberwood cones have a satisfying weight that feels good to hold. The smooth wood is finished with child-safe, water-based paints, featuring delightful details like gold paint and strawberry sauce toppings. You'll notice how carefully they place each cone back into the natural wood base—a subtle workout for their fine motor skills and spatial awareness.
A Sweet Addition to Any Playroom
This isn't just a toy that gets tossed in a bin; it's a display piece. The vibrant colours and classic design make it a lovely addition to a shelf when not in use. It pairs beautifully with play kitchens or market stalls, such as the Le Toy Van Honeybake Shop and Cafe, expanding the play possibilities of items you already own.
Measuring 10cm x 10cm and standing approximately 13.7cm tall, it fits comfortably on a shelf or in a play corner without taking over the room.
