Lots of fun to play with (as the kids played 'shop' all the time)
Lots of choice and the trays they come in are also very handy for tidy up time (which is always done by me as the kids just abandon it all on the floor and leave it for me to tidy up....just like their dad does!)
Jokes aside, a great purchase and good quality, and we sold these once the kids grew out of them, so we got some money back afterwards.
Excellent purchase, and product!
