User questions & answers

Question:	What age group is this meant for? I'm thinking about it for my sons 7th birthday
Answer:	Sounds like a good age
Question:	Is this only for 1 child to play at a time or could 2 children do this together? I have twins and don't know if I should buy 1 or 2 of these
Answer:	If I remember correctly the deluxe set has three different activity booklets to decode. They each use a different method of decoding so your twins could each have one with an extra or they could work together on each of them. I did them with my granddaughter and we had fun, your twins should enjoy. And maybe they will let you decode the third one, lol. I enjoyed them myself.
Question:	Is this small enough to take on an airplane? Worth it
Answer:	Probably not. About the size of a 3-ring binder and boxy, so not too packable. And lots of small pieces, so probably not a great travel activity. The girl we gave it to loves it, though!
Question:	Age range for this toy
Answer:	I play with this with my 7 year old grandson who lives about 55o miles away. It has been fun sending him messages in secret codes. P.S. I am 70. So there is your age range.

User questions & answers

Question:	Could this be used outside the house, like at an outside farmers market
Answer:	Yes. For a kid. For an adult - unless your 2 feet tall it’s gonna be awkward. The food items are hollow boxes and cans. So if it’s raining the they’ll get ruined. The basket itself is great for that. My 2yr old son is OBSESSED. He treks it around the park. The neighborhood. And has taken it to the grocery with gramma and grandpa. When we leave the house - it’s always w us. I’ve wasted thousands on toys he’s used for a total of 34 seconds. This is the best $25 spent a toy. And for that price - and for the usage we’ve gotten from it - if it does tomorrow I’d be fine. And just buy him a new one.
Question:	Where is this product made
Answer:	Hi Kerry! Each of our toys is clearly labeled with its country of origin. Regardless of where it is made, all of our toys meet or exceed the US toy safety testing standards as well as our own high quality and safety requirements. This super-fun set is currently made in China, but designed, warehoused, and shipped in the USA. If you have any other questions, please call us at 800-284-3948. Talk to you soon!
Question:	Is this lead free
Answer:	Yes, the Melissa & Doug Fill & Roll Grocery Basket Play Set is lead free.
Question:	What materials are the food boxes and cans made out of
Answer:	Food boxes are cardboard. The "cans" are cardboard with removable plastic lids. The boxes & cans look realistic, but their lifetime with a toddler is fairly short.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this Made in china
Answer:	Yes, Most of the Melissa & Doug products are made in china.
Question:	Are the loops large enough to hang from the Kidcraft kitchen pegs
Answer:	I’m not familiar with the pegs to which you’re referring, but with the exception of the whisk, I can slide the utensil loops to the first knuckle of my middle finger. I can slide the whisk a bit past the first knuckle of my pinky. I was also able to hang each from both a large and small head thumb tack. So with that said, these utensils should fit on standard pegs. We’ve really enjoy this toy and have also purchased the Melissa and Doug pots and pans. Keeps my little one out of my organized cabinets!
Question:	Are these durable enough to use for actual cooking or just pretend play
Answer:	They appear durable but I not knowing the metal contents I would not use them with actual cooking or heat. They are wonderful for play however.
Question:	How long is each piece
Answer:	They are each 7" long. My restaurant quality slotted metal spoon for adults is 12" long. Hope that helps. They're really cute.

User questions & answers

Question:	It says up to 15 years but im 30 should i feel bad for wanting thees asap
Answer:	I've been wearing these probably for 2 or more years now (I have a bad back and helps a lot) Well from the very first pair I bought and just bought a pair today I have taken the ankle strap right off the shoe. YUP and 99.9 % of the time I'm wearing them I'm wearing them with NO SOCKKS and have never ever had a problem falling out of the or anything like that. As for half size I wear 8-8 and a half I got a 9 then went to a 10 (ALL WOMENS SIZE) Today I got a women's size 11 and I know I will be taking off the strap of those too If I'm not "swimming" in the 11 and have to return them with the ankle straps attached BUT if they fit ok off the starps will come OH AND SOMETHING YOU CAN DO TOO to see if they work for you without the strap on. Just put the strap on the top of the top of the shoe don't have to bother taking the strap off just try that instead I forgot I did that with my very first pair and after wearing them like that for awhile realized I could take the straps right off the shoe and have ever since. I love my crocs (bad back problems) helps a lot. I wear mine constantly and have found that for me the inside sole does wear down after time you'll notice how much when you get a new pair. Nothing lasts forever
Question:	Can I use any other instead of this wooden stylus like a coin or a spoon
Answer:	I have tried the sizes 8 and 9 in women's and the 8 is just barely too short, my heel goes over the back and toes just touch the front, and then I ordered a 9 as the only other alternative. The 9's were WAY too big and bulky. I wear a 8.5 and my feet are 9.5" long. It seems like my Croc wearing days are over even though before they changed the sizing, I wore sz 8 for a decade. Sad because I really want these for gardening and everyday wear.
Question:	What size are these
Answer:	That is referring to two sizes, one for women and one for men. They typically run two sizes apart, so a size 9 in women is a size 7 in men. The syntax is divided by the slash "/". So it starts with the numeric size, followed by the width which is designated as "(b)m" for women and "d(m)". "us" just refers to "United States" sizing. So in the example says it is a Size 9, regular width in women's united states sizing and it is a Size 7, regular width in men's united states sizing.
Question:	Are these sticky notes
Answer:	The most UGLIEST shoes I have ever in my life had on my feet. But for the reason I got myself a pair of them is I have herniated and bulding discs in my back and the minute I put them on my feet for the very first time it was as if they had (the herniated bulging discs had miraculously went away. I was astonished and grateful. Some had told me they had the same problem and bought a pair of these and helped relieve there back problem too. I have been wearing classic crocs now for I think at least 2 or more years now and even thought I do have my days with my back These are still the most comfortable shoes you can put on your feet. TRUE STORY: Was getting in the car happened to look down at my foot and said OMG then laughed out loud because I was still wearing my house slippers (and we all know how comfortable those are) well those are how comfortable these are. I guess you have to ask yourself how much do you want to wear a comfortable shoe in order to get beyond how these look (atrociously) UUUUUGLY Every single pair I've ever bought is the (KHAKI) because they don't stand out so much. It's not as thought I don't like all the colors they come in I do its just that these are a "wide" looking shoe and if I bought or word the Yellow or Orange the first thing I would think of is "duck feet" OR the RED which I love too but would never ever buy they would just remind me of Clown shoes. You know how kids shoes are small and look really cute well I think these are really cute looking on little kids feet as well as all the colors They can get away with it but adults ok you can wear whatever color you like but remember if you think these shoes are UUUUUGLY buying a pair in a nice bright color is just going to bring a lot of attention to your feet.. No getting around the uuuuglyness of these shoes but depending on your circumstances and need for comfortable shoes YOU CANNOT BEAT THE CROCS FOR THAT !!!!

Choosing the Best Toys

Increasingly, doctors and child development experts around the world are recognising the value of hands-on, imaginative play.

Research shows play promotes self-confidence, social and cognitive skills, resilience, and more.

And it is these skills that are crucial building blocks for success and personal fulfilment in adulthood.

Working Scanner

The scanner actually beeps as the "grocer" slides the purchases over it!

Cold” Treats at Checkout

Fridge/freezer with handle and window offers more storage.

Conveyor Belt

The "grocer" will enjoy cranking the conveyor belt to move the purchases toward the scanner.

Countless Ways To Play

Product description

Here is everything an aspiring firefighter needs in an emergency: a bright red, machine-washable jacket trimmed with reflective material, a fire chief helmet, a "fire extinguisher," a bullhorn with sound effects, a shiny badge, and a name tag to personalize. When the pretend sirens go off, kids can jump into action to protect the community as an everyday hero! The jacket is trimmed with yellow highlights and reflective silver material, with self-stick seals on the inner front flaps and a built-in utility belt. Adorning the sides of the belt are two straps for securing the fire extinguisher and bullhorn. A shiny badge and name tag for personalization add to the colorful flair. The bullhorn makes realistic siren sound effects (requires two AA batteries, not included). Capping off the set is an adjustable fire chief helmet with fire department emblem on the front. With its colorful design and quality construction, the Fire Chief Role Play Costume dress up set is sure to inspire your child's imagination and have them ready to save the day in an emergency. This firefighter outfit for kids is easy to care for and clean. The jacket is machine washable, while the accessories are made from materials that simply wipe clean.
