Blooming-Babies was sooo excited about this new Ice Cream set from Melissa and Doug they were practically bouncing when they asked me to feature it. I totally see why when the set arrived I was practically foaming at the mouth and I actually did consider licking that mint chocolate chip ice cream just to see if it actually tasted like it.. OMG yum... This set looks so realistic that it will leave you screaming to go to the ice cream parlor. I'm just warning you now!
I honestly never knew a wood toy could look so incredibly yummy.. or lifelike. Did you see that great Sushi set they also offer at Blooming-Babies?? How incredibly cool is that?
Blooming-Babies also offers some of our FAVORITE products including PSA Custom Stamper, by far one of my favorite stationary products known to man... ever piece of mail leaving my house is stamped with my PSA. As well as Your Baby Can Read videos. If you have not experienced this set before now, seriously its a must have for children between the ages of 0- till the time they are fluent readers. I also HIGHLY recommend Your Baby Can Read for children who may be a bit slow on the reading skills. The best part is its actually really enjoyable to watch for both parents and kids. Connor loves his so much he will actually stop playing with his toys to watch it... and don't even get me started on the flash cards. I honestly never knew a set of flash cards (that come with each dvd) could stop a 9 month old in their tracks. I actually use mine to distract him when he is getting crabby either in public or at home.. and not only is he learning something but he really loves them. The slide out feature on flash cards is really unique as well.
If you have ever experienced a wiggly toddler at the dinner table, distractions while your getting their dinner ready (especially at interestedly) are really a lifesaver. Blooming-Babies great selection of place mats are not only awesome as they will protect your table from spills but they are totally interactive. All of them are safe to be written on with Dry Erase markers. My grandmother would love this place mat as you know proper dinner skills are key, at least she says so, to finding a good husband or getting a good job. I'm not so sure thats really the case but it certainly is a nice skill to have so you wont look like a fool at your first big corporate dinner or that first formal dinner with the new boyfriend/girlfriend/mother in laws house. I've been there...

Wow, that's so neat and it does look real! I really like the Sushi slicing box. Cute and different from most play food sets.

Melissa and Doug products are amazing! Blooming-Babies has a great variety of their products. My favorite food set is the Birthday Cake and I think the new Ice Cream set is gorgeous as well.
Thanks for the fun giveaway!
Wow they are cool! My favorite was the birthday cake, but the pizza party was a close second.

all the sets are just great and would love to win it for my grandkids...but the birthday one is the best since my granddaughters birthday is next month
I love the sandwich making set. Has all the ingredients for a yummy sandwich :)
this would be so fun for our grandson since his other grandparents own a REAL ice cream and coffee shop! At 13 months he has already 'helped' make one soft serve when Pap was holding him - and squirted it all over Pap!
I love the food group set. What a great teaching tool!
this would be so fun for our grandson since his other grandparents own an ice cream and coffee shop. Already at 13 mo, he has helped Pap with a soft serve cone - pulling the lever AFTER pap had finished - and serving it all over pap's arm!
The Birthday Cake would not only be fun to play with, but also eductional! That's my favorite; my granddaughter will love the Ice Cream set if I win

Hard to beat the ice cream set but I also like the wooden food groups.
Hi, How you doing? I love the wooden puzzles, especially the Rainforest Jigsaw Puzzle. I was first drawn to the Alphabet which I plan on buying. I just love the ice cream toys. I hope I win. It's a good price. Thanks for introducing me to this place.

Oh my goodness...that ice cream looks heavenly! Love it! I also like the Melissa and Doug travel games offered on Blooming-Babies. I didn't know M&D made those! Too cool.

I feel like a kid in a candy store looking at all the funny toys on the site, from the animal stamp sets to the slice-able foods. I have no kids as of yet but I work at my church nursery and i am always looking for new toys that can also help teach the children, and think I just mentally spent the yearly budget just by looking at the website.
thanks

Melissa & Doug products are wonderful. We already have the pizza and sandwich sets, and my kids play with them all the time. But I'd never seen the ice cream set. It's gorgeous. I'd also like the birthday cake one--my kids love to hold pretend birthday parties.
This set is just too cute! My stepmom has some of these sets at her house, and the kids love them! My daughter used Melissa & Doug's magnetic chore chart for a long time. I'd love to get her the magnetic calendar, as she is now learning about using a calendar!
The ice cream and cones is really cool.

I think my daughter would love the Birthday cake! She loves to pretend it is her birthday!
since i have worked at a dairy queen for over 12 years (my parents own it), my son is already an avid ice cream lover. how awesome would it be to be able to tell him that "it's okay to play with your ice cream!" thanks for the giveaway, it's great!

disarray at onebox dot com
First let me say how much I love this site! While I was familiar with some of the offerings (like Melissa and Doug Products) I adore the purity and unabashedly old fashioned childhood fun --let those imaginations soar! I do love the ice cream set a lot. My two other favorites are the Wooden Birthday Cake (which would be perfect when I get to attend my daughter's tea parties) and the Wooden Pizza Party (perfect for our family movie nights)! What fun! Definitely adding this to my "shopping" file as I'll no doubt be returning soon to pick up some of their great things!

Such cool wooden food. My daughter loves ice cream and I can just see her sitting on the floor licking the ice cream and wishing that it was real. I really like the Play Food Groups Set. I think it would be amazing to have to teach my daughter about the different food groups.
I LOVE the birthday cake!
I think my son would love the pizza set the best, but then we have never seen this totally awesome ice cream set. I think that one is my favorite.
I would love to be entered.

Love the sushi and the food groups one. so cute!
We have the cutting set and it's really fun for my 2 toddlers to cut up vegetables to make me salad or soup. :) Next on my wishlist to buy them was the pizza set, but now it's a debate between that and the ice cream. Both are great for pretend play as well as skill development. (They do make pizza with me at home though; but I'm not letting them touch real ice cream to serve anytime soon!)

I love the play icecream set, it's the cutest thing I ever saw!
As a pediatric Speech/Language Pathologist, I have chosen to use the Food Groups time and time again because there are so many speech and language skills I can target with these toys.
Now that I have a baby of my own, I not only want to give her the same opportunity to have these toys that foster creativity, speech, and language skills, but also toys that are well made and safe for her.
Thank you for offering this giveaway!

Melissa and Doug Wooden Sandwich Making Set is really cute. My daughter loves making pretend sandwiches.
I love the M&D play food sets. We have the slicing set and then a bunch of other play food (mostly felt food my friends and I have made for our kids). One thing we don't have is condiments, so the Melissa and Doug Wooden Magnetic Kitchen Bottle Set would be great, plus my daughter would love taking off and replacing the tops.
Thanks!
