Bought it for my 5 years old daughter. She loves all cooking stuff so she really enjoyed the set. The bowl is really big, and is a bit hard for her to carry when full of water, but that doesn't bother her. Minus 1 star for the lid. It just does not work as a lid, the only thing you can do is try to delicately place it on top of the bowl and hope it stays there. Otherwise it falls down immediately.

This toy is great whether at the pool or beach. The measuring cups are cute and nestle in one another. We particularly enjoy making scrambled eggs with the blue whisk and bucket or placing the turtle strainer on our heads as a hat. The little crab spoon us adorable too we like that all this pieces fit into the bucket to conserve space.

This is one of the best sand toys i have ever come across (and believe me, we have a ton of sand toys! ) the quality of this is outstanding, the plastic pail is actually sturdy & isn't likely to break/crack like every other sand pail that we've had. The measuring cups & spoon are so cute and lots of fun. The whisk is great for "mixing" the water and sand. The cover snaps on to keep everything in place, and also doubles as a sand sifter! . I wish i could give this 5 stars, because it's just really that cute/durable/fun - however, the cover is kind of hard to snap into place (not sure if it's just mine or all are like that)so i give it a 4. 75. Enjoy the fun in the sun with your child!

Great set - very happy with this one. Took it to destin for my 2 1/2 year old and it provided hours of entertainment. We "cooked" all sorts of things!

I bought this for my one year old son's photo shoot thinking it would be a cute prop option at the beach. We didn't end up using the set for the shoot, but my son plays with the set all the time. He loves putting things inside the measuring spoons and whisking toys/sand/grass around. The quality is great. I would definitely recommend this product to a friend.

G. Guest, Croydon says

The scoops were fun to use, as well as the spatula and the whisk. The bucket and lid don't seem to fit together terribly well. Since the bucket doesn't have a swivel handle that can be utilized with one hand, it wasn't used a whole lot by my 4 year old daughter. She definitely showed preference for the bucket that came with the melissa & doug sunny patch speck seahorse sand ice cream set.

Just got this today and my girls played with it in the bath right away since we won't be at the beach until next week. Very cute set. Thick, durable plastic that is nicely colored. I really like that everything fits nicely in the bucket with room to throw in a few extra things. The little turtle lid is a strainer. This was the favorite of the melissa and dough seaside sets i bought for my girls. I also got the ice cream set, cupcake set, and sand hourglass. All of these sets work well together. . Update 12/1/12:. We purchased three melissa & doug sunny patch seaside sets: the speck seahorse sand ice cream set, the sidekicks sand baking set, and the sidekicks sand cupcake set to take on our 3 week vacation to the pacific northwest. The kids played with them almost every day at the beach and/or in the bath tub. Great quality. No broken pieces the entire trip or since we've returned home. Lots of creative play options. I was able to nest the ice cream set pieces inside of the baking set bucket, and store all of the smaller pieces from all three sets along with the cupcake pan in the netted carrier that comes with the cupcake set. The end result was that i was able to get all three sets and the hand full of play dishes (plates, cups, utensils) i brought entirely into one bucket and the net carrier. Very convenient for storage in the car and carrying to/from the beach. If you were to only pick one, i would recommend this baking set as it's pieces seemed to be most universally versatile and so were the ones my girls played with most. But all three sets complement one another well. . I do think these toys are a bit overpriced and should be closer to or just below $10, though, which is why i gave 4 stars instead of 5.

K. Anonymous, Northumberland says

My 3. 5 year old niece comes to visit me in southern ca regularly. While at the beach she declared that she was c making us "sand cakes" for lunch! i went straight home to look for "cooking" beach toys. This couldn't have been more perfect! she was thrilled when she received it and won't go to the beach without it now! keeps her happy, self entertained and encourages endless imaginative play! awesome product for those beach loving little ones!

My 4 year old daughter absolutely loves using this set to prepare her cookie dough and pizza dough to use with her other melissa & dough sand toy sets. This is very sturdy and absolutely perfect for any kids that loves to bake or cook. These sets have kept my daughter busy for hours.

E. Audrey, Shropshire says

My daughter loves to pretend "cook", so she has thoroughly enjoyed this set in her sandbox. It has become a favorite toy and she has played with it almost daily this summer. We keep these outside by the sandbox and they have held up extremely well in the elements. I would recommend this to others who have children that like the pretend.

Very cute little baking/mixing sand toy set. I was a bit surprised at how small it was. The pictures seem to make it look bigger than it actually is. That is my only issue with this, but nothing to make a huge deal over i actually bought this as a gift, but will be buying another one for my daughter as she has wanted this for quite some time. I like that you can use it in the water or in the sand and play with it inside and outside. A very versatile toy! when i buy one for my daughter, i may review again as i will be able to see and play with the product and give a more direct/hands-on review.
