GREAT GIFT FOR AGES 3 TO 5: This ice cream play set is an ideal gift for kids ages 3 to 5. Add the Melissa & Doug Bake & Decorate Cupcake Set to round out the pretend play experience and give kids an engaging option for screen-free fun. In August 2008, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) made a number of changes to consumer product safety laws in the USA. Under this law, the amount of total lead allowed in children’s products was gradually reduced. Effective August 14, 2011 no children’s product may contain more than 100 parts per million (ppm) total lead. The lead content of any surface coating is limited to 90 ppm. The most pleasant surprise was that my 8-year-old daughter’s friends have all loved coming over to play. I thought it was more suited to my 4-year-old (as well as 2 and 3-year-olds). Surprisingly, kids up until 9-year-olds were playing with it too! My children love the bell! We love the wooden ice cream toy pieces, and their high quality means they will last for years.
