Smart Snacks Rainbow Color Cones

The eight brightly colored scoops encourage color identification, and stacking the ice cream on the cones promotes fine motor skills. To help preschoolers learn the colors, each scoop is clearly marked on the inside with the name of the color (blue, red, etc.). Scoops measure approximately 3″ x 2″ each.

5 Stars Great play ice cream
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.

5 Stars Realistic, educational and FUN Ice Cream!
My daughter received this toy for Christmas when she was 2.5 years old. She absolutely LOVES her ice cream!

It comes with 8 different colors of ice cream – each color is labeled on the bottom in pretty big text. It also comes with 2 cones. You can stack as many or little ice creams on top of each other as you want!

They are very durable, realistic, and an absolutely wonderful toy. My daughter struggles a little in putting the first ice cream onto the cone.. its a little “tight” – but she’ll get the hang of if.

And, one thing to note – I do wish the ice creams would fit a little bit more snug on top of each other.. they just kinda sit on top of each other, so if you just tip the cone.. they fall off. My daughter doesnt seem to mind this, but I can see where a couple of kids may get irritated the ice cream doesnt stay on the others!

Overall, excellent toy. Highly recommended for any child – my daughter has mastered the colors a long a time ago.. and this just reinforces the different colors when she plays with this toy – wonderful educational and FUN toy!

5 Stars Love this toy!
I hesitated for a second before I bought this product because I thought that the price was too high. I feel differently now that I received it. It is made of thick, soft, durable material. It is a very fun and educational toy. My 6 year old and my 1 year old both really enjoy playing with it.

5 Stars Fun toy
My two-year-old daughter has loved this toy. It is very durable and very realistic. The only difficulty is with getting the first scoop on the cone. I have just instructed my daughter to leave those on and not take them off and that has solved the problem.

5 Stars So realistic, So much fun!!!
My 2 1/2 year old daughter LOVES these ice cream cones. She serves up multiple flavors daily! Plus every kid (multiple ages) that comes in to her play room, goes for these! There great on the cones or in bowls! Very durable, bright colors, great toy to play pretend with!

4 Stars no plush turtle

The lamp turtle is just as advertised, but I didn’t receive the plush baby turtle that was supposed to go with the order.

4 Stars Adorable
I always wanted something like this for my little boy and when I found it, I was so excited! It lightens up the whole room with stars and you can even change it from one color to another with a choice of three different colors (Blue, green and amber). Plus it turns itself off in 45 minutes. My son loves it!

5 Stars Awesome night light!
This is a great night light for the amount of light and different colors it delivers.We use it to soothe our son to sleep. He loves to stare at the stars as we feed him. After wards it’s great for the 45 min timer. You dont have to remember to turn it off. I bought 2. One for us and one for grandma’s house.

4 Stars Helps Kids to a Calm and Dreamy Slumber

This is such a perfect gift for my 5 year old son. He loves it. He love everything green, and the option to have 3 choices of light colors is great. You have green, blue and amber to choose from. Includes 3 AAA batteries, now, that you don’t hear very often. It has a built-in 45-minute timer in case you forget to turn it off.

It comes with a cute tiny story book about the little turtle who was able to find his home after a great flood by tracking the constellation of stars. His dad was very proud for this accomplishment who spoke about and taught him about these special group of stars.

The turtle is cute, the shell is made of hard plastic with holes of stars and the moon. The light is projected to the ceiling and makes my kids start the bedtime pleasantly calm and ready for a dreamy slumber.

I will be buying more for gifts if this goes down under 20$.

5 Stars Baby loves it!
Our nephew loves the stars at night. Great for travelling – easily packable, and turns the strange hotel room into somewhere familiar at night – same stars as in his room at home.

3 Stars Cute and fun but doesn’t last
This product is fantastic except for a few things:

1. The batteries get eaten up quickly, especially if it’s used as a nightlight. The batteries ran out half way through the night and I was not going to put fresh ones in each night!

2. The buttons are flimsy. One of ours broke off when the turtle was being played with.

So, if you want to have a planetarium on your kids’ ceiling at night for a few minutes, it’s great. If you want to use it as a nightlight, it’s not great.

3 Stars cute but expensive
Lets just say the advertisement is decieving.No the stars are not bright and are rather small. I think it is an over priced nite lite.It is however cute and will help lil ones in the dark but thats about it.

5 Stars LOVE it.
This did what it said it would. The colors are enough light I can nurse my three month old by, but we can sleep if it’s on. My son likes to look at the stars and I find myself looking for the constellations while I nurse him. The turtle is on the changing table that’s attached to a pack n play. It is not in the middle of the room but the stars are clear and not blurry. All in all worth the money.

3 Stars Cute but didn’t last
This turtle was bought for our daughter for Christmas when she was 1 year old. Initially, she wasn’t interested in it so it sat on the dresser until she was a little over two and one day, asked to see it. From that point on, she LOVED to see her stars up on the ceiling at bedtime each night and wouldn’t go to sleep without it. Unfortunately, it started acting up (wouldn’t always turn on) after only a month or two of daily use, and after about 3 months, we couldn’t get it to turn on at all. It was never used as a toy or abused, it stayed in her bed and was used only at night. It was cute while it lasted but wasn’t worth $30 for a nightlight that only gave us about 3 months of use. She wants another one but we aren’t sure if we want to spend the money again. Also, the stars are not crisp unless they are close to the ceiling, but that didn’t seem to bother my 2 year old.

1 Star awful
from what i had read i thought it would be pretty cool. was very upset when i got it. it broke in a couple of days. i sent it back

4 Stars great adventure
This went to a young girl,(almost 4). She loves it but hasn’t quit got the hang of the hot cold concept but she will. I can see it would be real great fun when she gets a little older.

5 Stars sons love it
I purchased for sons, ages 5-13 and this is something they like playing together(it’s hard to find something for all the ages) One of them hides the tiger and the others try to find. Definitely would want the extra wand.

5 Stars Perfect toy!
My 5 year daughter loves this product. She has hours of fun looking playing hide and seek. She as well as us have become very creative of hiding the tiger in different places around the house. This is the perfect toy!

5 Stars tine3074
Great game!!! I got this for my daughter for Christmas, and she loves it. The whole family gets involved in playing it. Its a great new version of hide and seek. It’s entertaining taking turns hiding the tiger and watching as the seeker tries to locate, first off, which room its in and then the location in that room. Highly recommended!

5 Stars Tiger
My daughters love this game. I got it for my 2 year old and she and her 5 year old sister have been having fun playing with it. I would recommend it.
