Pretend play has to be my favorite.. err… my kids’ favorite thing to do. Who doesn’t love pulling your play shopping cart up to a pretend store and going shopping? You can probably guess that I have done this a lot and, well, you are right! When you have a product as adorable as the In the Market Shopping Cart from The Land of Nod, how can you resist?
Product Details: In the Market Shopping Cart
This sturdy steel shopping cart is ideal for the little one with an extensive history of reaching across the aisle. Real, kid sized shopping cart features rubber breaking tips, pivoting front wheels, folding front seat and plastic wheels and handles.
Details, details
- Protective corner bumpers
- Instructions and hardware included
- Assembly required
Mom’s thoughts
- The size of the shopping cart is 11.25″Wx15.5″Dx23.5″H. I think this is a perfect size for kids, and yes, adults to play with when the kids aren’t looking.
- The In the Market Shopping Cart was so easy to put together. So easy! There were pieces to screw in and attach (such as the plastic piece where the ‘play baby’ can sit, but overall, putting this cart together was easy and the time was short.
- The price of the In the Market Shopping Cart is very reasonable, in my opinion. I have seen other play carts that are not as realistic as this one is and the price is very reasonable.
- The In the Market Shopping Cart is so lifelike! It has a space for the kids’ baby to sit in, and this area can fold up in case the kids are in the mood to shop in ‘bulk’.
- At first, I wasn’t fond of the rubber breaking tips because the kids would get stuck in the doorway, but it is perfect so the cart will not tip as you would expect it to.
Price
- $49.00

The In the Market Shopping Cart is a perfect gift idea this holiday season!
There are two other products that I didn’t get a chance to do a physical review on, but I am very excited to give two lucky winners their choice of!
Do your little ones like to pretend bake? If so, this is the perfect gift! I am in awe at the cuteness of the Cooookies pretend cookie set.
Me want cooooookies!!!! You want coooooookies????? Set includes 12 wooden cookies!!!! 12 colorful toppings!!!! Dull wood knife!!!!! Wood spatula and oven mitt!!! Cookie sheet and cookie dough roll!!!! Pretend glass of milk not included!!!!!
Details, details
- Features 2-sided fasteners that produce a realistic slicing sound when chopped with the play wooden knife
- Oven mitt not intended for real use
Price: $24.95
Another item that I chose to do a giveaway on is the precious Calendars – Christmas from The Land of Nod. I remember having a similar calendar like this when I was a kid. So much fun to pull the days off to count down to Christmas!
Our new, improved Advent calendar lets kids count down the days until Christmas with a certain jolly, bearded man. Conceal candy surprises, a message or small gift in the 2.5″ pockets.
Details, details
- Santa moves from chimney to pockets to countdown the days
- Imported
- Felt construction with appliqué and embroidered details
Price: $39.00
