Pretend Play Reviews

Junk food junkies, rejoice! Here is a sugary addition to any kitchen play set--pretend Hostess treats, fruit punch, and soda. The set includes realistic looking plastic Hostess Cupcakes, Twinkies, and Sno Balls (some are cross sections, so you can see the filling "oozing" out), as well as plastic soda bottles (with bottle opener!), punch and milk cartons, drinking cups, cardboard replicas of Hostess product packaging, a plastic platter, and play money. Kids can pretend to bake these sweet treats, or play store with the money, ordering up their favorite Hostess cakes. Made of sturdy plastic, these bakery items will withstand rough play.

Beware: if they didn't already, children will now know exactly what to beg their parents for in the grocery store when they see the real thing. --Emilie Coulter
