My daughter is in speech therapy and we use this toy all the time! It’s super cute and can be used in so many different ways for both learning and pretend play. The pieces are a little tough to pull apart and push back together, so it may be better suited for slightly older toddlers — but that actually works great for practicing speech because we can repeat “pull, pull, pull” and “push, push, push.” We also use it for pretend eating, dumping the muffins out of the tray (“oh no, they all fell out!”), and for teaching colors, shapes, and imagination. It’s made of durable, hard plastic that holds up well (even with teething and oral stimulation), and it’s easy to clean. Not a lot of tiny pieces to worry about losing. Overall, a fantastic toy for development that grows with your child and keeps playtime fun and educational.

Let me say that my twin boys love this set! Very well made, holds up to drops and tossing and live bites. I had little smell issues with this as others have mentioned. We have found it to have multi levels of play encouraging different levels of learning. From colors to shapes to matching all the while developing hand/eye coordination through manipulation and as they are cupcakes pretend baking/eating. I bought when they where a little over two and played with the set like we where baking cupcakes pointing out the different colors and shapes. Taking then no time to pick up and learn for themselves. They did not always matching shapes in the pan to shapes on cupcakes but as playing continued they learned that the cupcakes had their own "home" in the tray. The colored icing can be removed from the chocolate cupcake to sort shapes and later become a fun game for me and my boys as we take them apart (more me then them as they tend to be hard to pull apart) and then put them back together ( as shapes do not all go in any old way the child as to manipulate the top and bottom till they fit just-right making for great hand/eye coordination) and then place in proper tray "home". As now they are almost 3 1/2 they still play with the cupcakes as food items and can take most apart on their own and put back together if the chose. They do tend to go missing though out the house as there are two of them sharing and splitting up the cupcakes. But all this has caused us to create a new game called find the missing cupcakes!! I do highly recommend these for any child two and older as they have been a much loved addition to our toy collection that actually gets played with multiple ways.

We knew my son liked other cupcake toys from a friend's house and his one day a week daycare. I compared several different versions online and chose this one as it was gender neutral and had the shapes, colors, assembly and sorting aspects to it, which seemed to be a fun learning tool at this age. He received it for Christmas and absolutely loves them and can even distinguish between dark blue and light blue (we will have to work on "aquamarine" later"). :) I was very glad for reading the previous reviews, as I was prepared for the chemically-odor when opening. The good news is that it disappated quickly and seemed to be mostly gone from the cupcakes by the end of the day. It is a bit of a struggle to pull them apart at first, but it seems as though they are getting better with use. There are 8 diffent colored cupcakes with corresponding shapes (circle, square, rectangle, triangle, heart, star, diamond, hexagon) and the bottom of the pan has a picture of each of the shapes as well. The shape is cutout through the entire brown bottom piece, leaving a hole through the cupcake and making it where you can turn the bottom piece upside down and still fit the topper into the cupcake. The adults have seemed to enjoy this much more than my son who likes them put together the "traditional" way. The pieces are a nice size being too large for my 3 year old and 1 year old to stuff in their mouths, but small enough where they can grab them one-handed easily. The cupcakes have a stiff/rubbery texture making them hard enough where I am not afraid of peices coming off if a child pretended to bite one, though I have not tried to myself.

This item may smell terrible AT FIRST, but after about a week or so, the smell DOES GO AWAY! I was looking for a small gender-neutral toy to fit in a small toy kitchen oven. This set fits in BOTH the oven and microwave, which makes it even more fun! We got this for our child at the age of 3, who is now 4, and baby sister has also been playing with it since she could move around (she is now 18 months). Whenever my friends' kids come over, they also love to play with it (ages 5 and 6), so this toy will last a long time, for both boys and girls! This is always the go-to toy when the kids play any form of "house". When we have a "tea party" they will first put the cupcakes in the "oven", sit everyone down for tea time, and then pull the cupcakes out to serve "hot fresh cupcakes" which, just like a typical 4 year old, mine always "eats" just the icing and has the "chocolate" cupcake base left over. The matching is a plus! At first, the pieces were hard to separate, but after some play (again, when the smell faded...), they started to be easier for the kids. They are also really durable, because baby sister has tried teething on these a bunch, but I have not seen any teeth marks. They are a thick plastic, and easy to wipe down without deterioration. In case you misplace any (they tend to roll under the couch for longer than I'd like to admit), any Learning Resources brand cupcake will fit in the mold. We also have the Learning Resources New Sprouts Picnic Set and the Learning Resources New Sprouts Brew It! , and cupcakes both fit in.

Excelente calidad y tamaño para manitas de bebés. Mi niña es de 1 año y medio y le encanta morderlos y jugar con ellos y el material queda como nuevo siempre. Muy fácil de lavarlos :) Desarrollan mucho la motricidad con este jueguete. Colores/ separar / embonar / figuras, etc

I bought these for my 4 year old son and he loves them! He was wanting a tray of cupcakes for his kitchen which I found really difficult to find but came across these and am really delighted by them. They are the perfect size for little hands and are great for teaching younger kids shapes as they must pop the base into the right spot on the tray and also the topping into the right base. They also feel very sturdy and are not made of cheap plastic and are lovely vibrant colours. Some of the shapes are hard to pull apart but they seem to be loosening up the more they are used.

Sehr hochwertiges Spielzeug. Wird gerne bespielt.

My girls LOVE these cupcakes. We have had them for over a year and it is still a favorite toy in the play kitchen. It was a tad hard to separate the tops from the bottom initially but after a month or 2 of play they loosen up. Some reviews mention a horrible odour....ours never had anything. Our girls love the matching aspect, the bright colors, the cupcake tray to carry them all in (other cupcakes from toys r is only have a platter for the cupcakes so they slip off...these ones sit very nicely inside their pan and are not frustrating for our girls to carry around the house), and they are the perfect size for little hands (our 6 month old loved chewing on these - hard & durable & yet not too small to worry about choking on!)

Ces cupcakes sont tres apprécier de mes enfants! On peut soit jouer avec a la dinette, soit en trieur de forme, et pour les plus petits tout simplement a les mettre dans le moule, dans les emplacements. Même a 8 ans ma fille y joue encore!
