As the leaves begin to change color, winter draws close, and you wish for one last summer day, the Shopkins Scoops Ice Cream Truck, from Moose Toys, could be your only respite. With this cool truck you can drive around Shopville selling icy treats to Shopkins—your special range of household and grocery store-themed characters to collect, share, and trade.
The Scoops Ice Cream Truck is a colorful play set for kids 5 and up, which includes one truck, a signboard, two cups, two cones, an ice cream stand, two cooler bags (big enough to fit Shopkins as large as Wendy Wedding Cake), and two Shopkins exclusive to this play set: Wally Water and Kylie Cones. (Don’t forget to check them off your collector’s guide!)
Kids love the Shopkins because of the intricate detailing of each adorable figure, and trust me—with this ice cream truck, you’ll get scoops of it! Kids will delight in the mini cones, apple, carrot, heart, strawberry, sundae, and price tag details that are neatly embossed at the bottom edge of the truck. The Shopkins logo flashes right above the headlights, crowns the wheels, and is etched in the center of the steering wheel. Snowflakes are drawn on the surface of the icy-blue coolers, and sunrays and hearts are splashed all over the truck in yellow and pink, including the roof.
So, let’s get started. Take out your truck and place Wally Water, an icy cool water bottle (complete with beads of sweat) and Kylie Cones, a waffle-cone ice cream treat (trying hard to balance scoops of chocolate and vanilla with strawberry topping on his head) in the driver’s and passenger seats, and get ready to roll. Like their season one, two, and three companions, these two Shopkins can also be used as pencil toppers once you’re done playing with them.
Open the roof of the truck and set it upright to display a colorful menu painted inside. You’ll find a heart-shaped ice cream cone, an ice cream biscuit, a sundae, an ice-lolly, two more flavors of ice cream in cones, a soda pop in a can and a bottle, popcorn, and even more offerings.
Inside, the truck has a cooler, which kids can open and close to (pretend) keep their Shopkins freezing cold; a sink to wash the fruit; and yellow bowls to mix different flavors together. The truck is very spacious, so kids can easily fit the two cooler bags on the floor and use the counters to display other items for sale. You can also pack everything inside the truck, if you wish to drive to another spot to sell the ice cream (or to store your Shopkins between playtime).
The Scoops Ice Cream Truck play set offers great play value. In addition to the truck itself, kids can have fun with the ice cream stand, a mini merry-go-round with an umbrella on top and cones instead of seats to give your Shopkins a little spin while they enjoy their treats. You can also use the speaker horn on the roof to tell the Shopkins that you’re here and place your signboard right where you park the truck to show that you’re open.
What’s great about the truck is that every child will decorate it in his/her own unique way. The truck’s interior serves as a playroom of sorts, offering little nuggets of surprise for kids to discover. The truck is a great way to display Shopkins fruit, candy, sundaes, shakes, or cones that kids have tastefully collected over time. So, if you know any Shopkins connoisseurs, the Ice Cream Scoops Truck is the best present you could ever give them.
