Christmas Giveaway – Little Tikes Neighborhood Market

by

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

My kids are constantly turning their bedrooms into makeshift stores. They line their toys and stuffed animals up in rows, grab their toy buckets and begin shopping. My daughter enjoys screaming from her room, “Come one and all. The store is open.”

When I was given the opportunity to review the Neighborhood Market from Little Tikes, I couldn’t pass it up. I knew that they would LOVE it. Isn’t it darling?

I sometimes feel a twinge of anxiety when I know that a toy requires assembly. Thankfully the Neighborhood Market was easy to put together.

In no time at all, the kids were decorating the chalk board marquee, raising up the awning, making ice cream cones to sell and running the cash register. They were very excited.

They have been having so much fun with their Little Tikes Neighborhood Market and I love that they play with it together. They take their turns as store owner and shoppers. In fact, it is one of the few toys that we own that they can play with together, for hours, without erupting into sibling brawls.

My favorite part is that it is actually three markets in one! It can easily go from a fruit stand, to an ice cream shop to a bakery. My children also love turning theirs into a used bookstore.

The Neighborhood Market comes with:

  • Clear sliding doors for real shopping fun
  • Cash register
  • Pretend money and credit card
  • 3 lemons, 3 oranges, 4 cupcakes, 2 bunches of bananas
  • 1 ice cream scooper, 2 ice cream scoops, 2 ice cream cones
  • Chalk board marquee
  • Store awning that pulls down and winds up

 

Of course we have one Little Tikes Neighborhood Market, retail value $99.99, to give away to one of you!

  39. I just LOVE Little tikes toys! So rugged and sturdy, they really last! My favorite is a large fish that the kids can sit in and rock. Also, a large red crab sandbox w/locking lid – we’ve had both for over 10 years and they have been outside the whole time, hardly ANY wear shown! I’d love to win this for my Grandson – we have a new generation to introduce to Little tikes toys! ((1955nursehjc4me(at)myway(dot)com))

  150. I love Little Tikes! Such a classic company! I love their Discover Sounds Tool Box. So much fun. And this marketplace looks like so much fun also! I always loved playing “shop and sell” when I was a kid.

  162. Normally, I would say the Fold n Go train, as my own Bebe Boy James loved his and my Grandbebe Boy JoJo loves HIS, but this year, I’ll have to go with the lalaloopsy dolls, as both of the older Grandbebe girls want one, and they are hard to find (heck, most of them are even sold out on the Little Tikes website). Luckily, we were able to snag a couple the other day online for Christmas.

  225. My favorite Little Tikes product has always been the kids picnic table. They are so nice to have outdoors and bring inside in the basement or playroom during colder months. Little Tikes products last forever and are so durable they can be passed on to other families…over and over again! now THAT is recycling!

  719. My favorite Little Tikes product is the Cambridge Cottage. My girls love to play in it and the profile is taller than most playhouses, so we will be using it for years to come. After two years on my back deck, it hasn’t faded a bit and it’s easy to clean. My kids especially like the “secret door” that goes through the fireplace. Great product!

    They also love the playhouses and slides at their friends’ homes and church nursery.

    We will be buying a house soon, and this market would be perfect for my 2 and 5 year olds to share.
