She seemed to take forever to eat her meals, clean up after herself or pretty much anything that involved her completing a small task "by herself".

It is definitely not her favorite toy item, but it is a welcomed addition to our stress ...             Learning Resources Fruit & Vegetable Play Food Basket, Set of 1310 reviews Learning Resources Learning Resources, 2007 Makes my tummy growl!

After several months, when my daughter was ready to try it again, we brought it back out of the closet but it was no longer working. We tried new batteries but to no avail. I was very disappointed that it ...             Pretend and Play School Set26 reviews Learning Resources Learning Resources, 2006 Great gift for grandkids!
