GummyLump {Review & Giveaway} CLOSED

Compensated

My kids have very vivid imaginations and I do all that I can to encourage that!  I have read all kinds of things that say it’s important for kids to engage in pretend play.  Colin has plenty of ideas but when he starts to express himself, James says something along the lines of “NO Colin” … in an attempt to “correct” him and stop the imaginative thought.  We have been working with James, he is learning not to stop the creative process.

When I got the box of Melissa and Doug toys from Gummy Lump, James was at school so Colin and I tore into it to see what we could play with!! 🙂  Gummy Lump sent the Chef Costume and the Play Food Brownie Set for my kids!

Since we opened it, Colin has served me brownies in his chef costume EVERYDAY (typically for lunch)!  I love it!  He knows that the “powdered sugar brownies” are my favorite, so that’s the only one he brings me.

What I LOVE: 

  • I LOVE the wooden toys!  It’s so easy to clean and it stands up to my wild & crazy kids.
  • I love that it comes with a brownie mix box, and the pieces can be put in said box.
  • The chef costume is easily washed, which is very necessary in our home! 😉
What I would change: 
  • I wish the brownie mix box were plastic or wooden.  Because it’s cardboard, it’s already losing it’s stability.  (This could just be my crazy kids.)
  • When we took the Chef costume out of the package, all the parts were attached with string, so I had to use scissors to detach them.  A seam-ripper would have been better.  I still haven’t gotten the name badge part open!  I think there might be better way to address this.
Would I recommend it?
  • YES, YES, YES!!!  As I said before, toys that help kids with pretending and imagination are essential!  The Melissa and Doug Chef Costume and play food provide awesome opportunities for kids to do just that.
Gummy Lump is running a play food toys special offer where you Buy 3 Get 4th Free, up to $15.99 value!  No coupon is necessary.  Put at least 4 of the play food sets in your shopping cart and you will receive 1 free, up to a $15.99 value!  One free item per purchase.
