Fueled by the success of its screen-free Sort, Stock, Select Wooden Vending Machine Play Set, Melissa & Doug developed a new Sort, Stock, Select Beauty Kiosk Play Set for kids ages three and up. This 24-piece wooden beauty kiosk delivers a fresh take on the vending machine toy that sold out multiple times, and introduces a safe, age-appropriate way for Gen Alpha to explore skincare, nail care, makeup routines, spa-like self-care, as well as problem-solving, cause-and-effect, counting, and color matching.
This playset features double-sided toy makeup and accessories with realistic facial feature details and a unit that can be loaded with items, which can be released by pressing the corresponding letter and number buttons.
This beauty toy is set to be in high demand, especially as parents look for ways to blend play with self-expression in an imaginative, and developmentally mindful way.
