Melissa & Doug Seaside Sidekicks Sand Cupcake Play Set - Toddler Beach Toys

The 12-piece Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks Sand Cupcake Playset transforms the beach or sandbox into an outdoor bake shop, allowing children to engage in pretend baking. Featuring a unique hinged cupcake mold, this set encourages kids to fill the mold with sand, add a cupcake topper, and "bake" in the sun, resulting in a quick and delightful dessert. With four cupcake cups, four cupcake toppers, a baking tray, an icing tool, and a mesh storage bag, the set provides ample opportunities for customizing and creating pretend cakes.

Designed for children aged 3 to 5, the sand-molding set promotes counting practice and open-ended play. Kids can use the icing tool to add decorations or start anew by dumping the sand and making another batch of "cupcakes." This exceptional gift from Melissa & Doug can be further enhanced by pairing it with the Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks Creature Set - Water Toys, creating a comprehensive pretend play and screen-free experience.
