This is a goody. this is good for color learning and pretend food play. Under each ice cream scoop is the color in bold black lettering. The quality is amazing, the icecream looks so realistic. the scoops have a nice weight and texture to it and it fits snuggly on the cone. And you get 2 cones. Its also great for stacking.... very cool. My kids love it !

This review is from: Smart Snacks Rainbow Color Cones (Toy)

We needed some ice cream for the play food repertoire and looked at a number of different implementations -- wood a la Melissa and Doug, Fleece, cheesy plastic, and these sturdy yet mildly flexible rubber ones. Ultimately I left it up to my 3 year old daughter who sat and deliberated over them on the store floor ("I can only get one, right?).

Initially I leaned toward the wooden ice cream since I'm a fan of wood toys. But this was a good choice -- the ice cream looks realistic, has a pleasing texture, is nicely weighted, super durable (tossed all around), and richly colored (more so than the alternatives).

After the purchase we sat down in a pizza shop and took out the ice cream. Other small children there were standing on their seats vying for a look so we had a communal ice cream "tasting".

Note that the balls of ice cream are hollow -- like a shell -- so that they can be stacked in a realistic way.

This is an excellent toy. All parts are made of a heavy-duty soft rubber. Vibrant colors. Very realistic looking. Same can be said of the shape sorting cupcake sister product made by the same company. My two year old daughter and 4 y.o. son both love playing with this in their pretend kitchen.
