Our Little Play Shop - Casdon Play Shopping Baskets

I'm in the middle of creating a playroom and it's not far off being finished - one of the things we have is an area for play shop, cafe and kitchen - I have a boy (Blake age 6) and a girl (Maegan age 4) and they both enjoy playing in this part of the room - I'm really pleased to share with you this lovely basket set from Casdon which we were sent to review.

There are two baskets

One basket is full of minature boxes and cans (and one lemon!) - these are really sweet exact minature replicas of the real deal - right down to ingredients and nutritional info! 

They are lovely - the cans are plastic and feel like they would last, I have to be honest - I'm not sure the little cardboard boxes will last long - I imagine they will be quick to squash - however they have so far successfully survived 3 days of relentless brutle heavy handed playing from both a 4 and 6 year old!

The second basket is full of plastic fruit and veg which feel very durable and some have sweet detailing such as the nobbly bits in the potato and the perfectly formed bunch of grapes.

I'm glad we have two baskets so my children can both play at the same time - it's also lovely to see a little stack of baskets waiting to be filled in our little play shop!

Both children have enjoyed playing and I'd say these baskets are that perfect unisex gift.
