Key Benefits

Realistic Interactive Play:** This comprehensive 12-piece set is designed to mimic a real drink dispenser experience, featuring a sturdy wooden counter-top unit, cups, and various "flavor" inserts.

Develops Critical Skills:** Engaging with the dispenser promotes fine motor skill development and hand-eye coordination as children navigate the slots and press the levers to release their drinks.

Boosts Cognitive Growth:** Kids learn to recognize different colors and flavors, enhancing their cognitive abilities through sorting, matching, and selection.

Encourages Social Storytelling:** Perfect for group play, this toy helps children practice social skills and language development by taking orders, communicating with "customers," and serving drinks.

Montessori-Inspired Learning:** Designed with five core early education values in mind, it fosters independence and creativity through hands-on, practical life practice.

Key Specs

Material:** High-quality, durable wood with plastic components for long-lasting play.

Piece Count:** 12-piece accessory set.

Included Components:** One wooden drink dispenser, two cups, colorful flavor inserts, and wooden ice cubes.

How to Use

To start the refreshment service, first load the wooden ice cubes into the top compartment of the dispenser. Select a flavor card—such as orange, grape, or fruit punch—and slide it into the designated slot on the front panel. Position a cup under the dispenser and press the cup against the lever to watch the "ice" and "drink" tumble down. This mechanical action teaches children that the "order of steps matter" in achieving a result.

Care & Safety

To maintain the integrity of the natural wood, wipe the surfaces with a clean, damp cloth and dry immediately. Do not submerge the unit in water or use harsh chemical cleaners. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the vibrant colors.
