Slide drawers into cart.
YOU DID IT!
Now the real fun begins—it's time to stock, order, create, and serve up delicious pretend play snacks and sweets! Roll up the food cart and instantly transform any play space into an imaginary stadium, park, city street, playground, or ball field! Here are some of the special features of the Snacks & Sweets Food Cart:
- REVERSIBLE AWNING: Choose what wares to sell! Roll the awning along the awning wires to flip the sign: Display one side and the cart is an ice cream stand; with the other, it becomes a hot dog stand with all the fixings!
- REVERSIBLE MENU CARD: Match the menu to the awning to let customers know what's for sale today. Menu material lets little vendors fill in the prices for all the sweets and treats options with pencil and then erase to reuse. Colorful pictures of the items help pre-readers know which items to set up in the cart and how they can be mixed and matched. Card slides easily in and out of the front of the cart.
- EXTRA-LARGE DIVIDED DRAWERS: Two large wooden drawers, divided into six compartments each, make it easy to stay organized and provide plenty of storage and display space for the toy snacks included with the cart. When using as an ice cream cart, store the sweets in the top drawer and the snacks in the bottom. Switch when using the cart as a hot dog stand so the correct items are in easy reach!
- PLAY FOOD PIECES: The set includes more than 40 wooden "hot" and "cold" treats to sell from the cart! Perfect for a hot summer day, there are deliciously decorated ice cream cones and pops, Italian ice cups, mix and match ice cream sandwiches, and ice pops. Hankering for something hot? Order up hot dogs and pretzels the way you like them—plain, with the works, and everything in between, including ketchup and mustard that really "squirt," and favorite toppings like chili, sauerkraut, onions, and relish. Quench thirsty imaginations with five varieties of seltzer (with removable tops!).
- SLIDING SEE-THROUGH DOORS: Sturdy clear plastic double-doors give customers a clear view of what's available, and give vendors easy access by allowing them to reaching through the top of the cart to grab what's in the top drawer.
- WORKING BELL: Ding-ding! Ring the metal bell with wooden clapper to get the vendor's attention, or let customers know when an order is ready for pick-up.
- STURDY WOODEN WHEELS & HANDLES: Lift the handles and roll the cart wherever there are hungry customers! The cart is sturdy enough to hold up to years of imaginative play, and yet light enough for kids to maneuver.
