Melissa & Doug Sort-Stock-Select Wooden Vending Machine

Satisfy hungry imaginations with the push of a button! Open up the back of the unique wooden vending machine and stock it with nine double-sided play food packages, including snack bars, drinks, and pouches. On the front, select an item, insert a color-matching play coin or bank card, press the corresponding letter and number button, and the snack drops into the collection drawer! No batteries required! There’s a sign that can be personalized and a reusable activity card for keeping track of what to stock and what to display. The vending machine measures 17 inches high x 12.5 inches wide x 5.5 inches deep, and requires no assembly. This vending play set is an engaging, hands-on way to help teach kids about cause-and-effect, and to encourage letter, number, and color recognition, sorting, matching, counting, and fine motor skills. All the pieces store in the vending machine for easy cleanup. Directions: 1. Open the back of the wooden vending machine to stock it with the included play food items. 2. Insert the play money or bank card into the designated slot. 3. Press the button corresponding to the item you want to 'purchase'. 4. Watch as the selected snack falls into the collection drawer. 5. Repeat steps 2-4 for different items and play money denominations. 6. For added fun, sort the double-sided toy food items before stocking the machine.
