A Backyard Staple
"If you’re looking for a toy that actually gets the kids excited to head outdoors, the Step2 My First Picnic Basket is a total winner. We’ve had ours for a bit now, and it has become the centerpiece of our backyard playtime. What I love most is how it bridges the age gap in our house. It’s rare to find something that captures the attention of both a 3-year-old and an 8-year-old, but this set does exactly that. Why It’s a Hit: Multi-Age Appeal: My toddler loves the tactile feel of the play food and the "click" of the basket lid, while my 8-year-old takes charge of the "menu" and organizes elaborate outdoor feasts. Built to Last: In true Step2 fashion, the plastic is heavy-duty. It handles being dropped on the patio or left in the grass without a scratch. Encourages Fresh Air: It’s been the perfect catalyst for getting them away from screens. They’ll spend an entire afternoon setting up their "campsite" and having a real-deal outside picnic. Easy Cleanup: Everything tucks right back into the basket, making it easy for the kids to head back inside when the sun goes down."
