Opinions needed on pretend play resources from ikea

[bexcee]

Have been looking to increase my pretend play toys and came across these in ikea.

does anyone have been and if so what are they like? Nearest Ikea is a 45 minute drive so just wondering if it is worth the journey.

Thanks

BTW it's mainly the fruit and veg baskets that I'm looking at.

Ooh, I've not seen those! Guess who's off to Ikea at the weekend

I think they are new, I got a catalgue last week and then just found them online when I was looking at highchairs they seem really good value don't they, just wondering how big they are.

I have the cake and icecream set which I think is lovely. The only thing I have found is that the children do put the fabric in their mouths which makes it difficult to keep them clean. The plastic play food can just be washed. Most of my mindees are 2 and under so I would say it depends on what age children you have and whether they are likely to try and eat it. x

I was in Ikea the other day and saw these - I thought they were lovely, should've brought some but had to limit myself!!! Perhaps next time

That was my only thought - lovely as they are 2 of my mindees chew everything so not sure how good they would be for me. They look lovely though, and a good price

I have the cake, icecream and veg ones need the fruit now! They are very cute and the lettue leaves all come completly off the lettue which i thought was rather cool! easily amused arent I ? I think its worth the trip if you top off at the cafe and get ikea meatballs and gravy

[loocyloo]

i love them all!

also very taken by the china/glass/tin teasets/baking sets etc!

if i hadn't spent a fortune only last october buying wooden food/tea sets etc etc i would be very tempted! but i'm being good!

we've got a few ikea toys, they seem to last and last!

love the ikea 'hama' beads (use them by the ton!) and the children all love their stamper pens!

[bexcee]

Right you've convinced me and I'm off to Ikea tomorrow!

[mummyof3]

WOW I want these! I think an ikea trip is on the cards on pay day

[jumpinjen]

My kids all love an ikea trip.... they play in the bedrooms and with the play kitchen and love having cake and sitting on the high stools in the cafe trying to spot our car out of the windows!!!

[Monkey1]

I have all of them.....they are fab also got the new soft farm animals which i love especially the swans and piglets!

[snufflepuff]

I have got the fruit and veg baskets for my son for christmas, I fell in love with them and had to buy them so used christmas as an excuse! I love the little fabric farm and animals too but really couldn't afford it all in one go.
I love ikea!

I saw these in a mailing I got from Ikea last week - also with a voucher for £10 off if I spend £60 or more!!

I can easily spend £60 or more - so am off to Ikea next week!!!
