Great Toy

I saw on Instagram how a women took this and put real treats inside for her little one to learn to buy. I thought it was such a cute Idea I am making this into one for my grandson.

Time for Snacks

I love the quality and cuteness of the packaging. I am a little disappointed how easily the snacks fall off of the back with just a little bump.

Ok

everything falls, no matter what. Put coin in falls, bump, it it, falls, poke it, it falls. It is definitely not worth the price and I wish I could return but because its been such a "hot" item and selling out all the time I bought it when I found it and lost return date because it was a gift. The concept great but fails to perform.

Cute, but didn’t work for me

I purchased this toy for my daughter as a Christmas present and I really wanted to love it, but there were a few cons that made me return it. It is a super cute interactive toy that I planned on using for my daughter’s snacks and I noticed that a lot of her snacks wouldn’t fit. I also noticed that everything fell down when it was barely bumped. If I had not planned on putting real snacks in the vending machine, I probably would have kept it, but I already had my heart set up using it for her snacks, so that’s why I returned it!

Don't waste your money

We were so excited for this toy but it is completely overrated and overpriced. The coins do nothing. The food comes out regardless of putting the coins in. The food falls out with a little bump. The wooden machine is not very sturdy at all. Littles will knock it down with little effort. :(

Adorable Toy!

This toy is not only fun for my son (2yrs old) but for us as well! Haha it helps him learn how to correspond numbers, letters, and colors to the correct item. My ONLY suggestion for improvement would be something that keeps the snack in place when you’re not selecting it. Any movement to the vending machine easily tips a bunch of the snacks over.

A little disappointed…

Not quite as expected. You have to fill it from the back, so you have to keep it in the “middle” of the room for play… and then it tips over backwards The credit card is so hard to fit in the slot to get the coins out The back does not close without lifting up the door in the back as it’s not fitted correctly…
