Right now, the super-popular Scoop & Serve Ice Cream Counter has tumbled 57% from $64.99 to $26.99. Melissa & Doug toys are typically accessible but rarely does the top-rated ice cream set dip this low. If you’re buying two, you can get the second one for 50% off the sale price, bringing your total to $51.71. The sweet deal is really just the cherry on top, though. The set comes with so many educational opportunities for children. The 28-piece set comes with eight ice cream scoops, six toppings, two cones, a cup, a scooper, tongs, a wooden spoon, and six pretend $1 bills. Children can learn sorting, colors, how to follow directions when someone places an “order,” and even the value of a dollar. And they’ll have so much fun doing it. The kit has a nearly perfect 4.9-star rating from almost 14K fans. “Our son was obsessed with this toy when visiting cousins, so we got it for him. He was so excited when he opened it. [It’s] such a great toy that’s well made,” said one 5-star reviewer, who added that her son grew with the toy. “I cannot say enough. I bought this for my preschool classroom, and the kids LOVED it! Great quality and [I] definitely recommend buying this,” swooned another. “I have purchased this item 3 times before as gifts. Every time, the parent tells me this is the most played-with item the child has… even years later. I recently purchased [it] again for my own children. This is a timeless item with great construction. This is one of those toys you will hang onto for the next generation after your kids outgrow it,” said another fan. Keep in mind that Melissa & Doug toy deals fluctuate—some only last a day. Popular items go out of stock.
