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."

Cute but has some flaws
"This picnic set is super cute but the basket tips over onto my grandson when he is reaching in it. The picnic blanket is slippery to walk on and can cause falling"

My First Picnic Basket Step 2
"This picnic playset far exceeded my expectations, from the basket on wheels to take your picnic and all its supplies anywhere you want to go with everything you need to the washable picnics blanket. This set will be around for all of my children, its well built, durable, good quality pieces & the nice part is all the toy pieces are washable and easy to wipe down. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed playing with this set for hours, I watched her imagination flow putting together the pieces of a sandwich, spreading jam from the container and setting up dessert and tea. A great toy for any weather as well, you can set up a picnic indoors during inclimate or enjoy it outside. Very pleased with this toy, looking forward to seeing what Step 2 comes up with next."

The PERFECT pretend set
"First, unboxing was exciting for my 3 girls. They couldn’t wait to play with this toy. All 3 of them ages 7, 5, and 18 months LOVE picnics, so this is a grand idea. The assembly was pretty simple; just attach the wheels to the basket cart. Right away the girls were pretending. The food and dinnerware are all sturdy and good quality. I couldn’t believe how much fun my 7 y/o was having playing with this set and my 18 month old really enjoys pushing the basket around! My 5 y/o played with this set for 3 hours STRAIGHT. Big win!!"

Super fun toy, easy to clean!
"My daughters love all things picnic and being outdoors. With winter around the corner this is the perfect toy for indoor picnics. The basket and accessories will be easy to clean which will be perfect for going indoors and outdoors. The size of the basket is great and the wheels are super nice for my toddlers to move it around. With the multiple cute accessories the basket comes with, the basket still offers a spacious area to add more picnic accessories in the future. I’m definitely glad we gave this item a try. It will be well loved and played with in our home."

Simple, Sturdy, and a Total Hit for Imaginative Play!
"As parents, we're always looking for toys that are simple, hold up well, and truly spark our child's imagination. This Step2 "My First Picnic Basket" definitely checks all the boxes! This picnic basket has been an absolute hit for imaginative play in our house. Our little one loves to set up "meals" with us and, even more so, feed all of their fluffy friends and stuffed animals. It's so cute watching them take care of their toys! For us, it's also been a great, natural way to start teaching simple concepts like setting up (laying out the food) and cleaning up (packing the basket when the picnic is over). It's a wonderful little tool for teaching routine and responsibility in a fun way. I appreciate how little effort it took to get this thing ready. It was mostly ready to go right out of the box. The only thing we needed to install were the wheels, which took genuinely less than 5 minutes with a quick hammer tap. The plastic is thick and seems like it will definitely hold up to rough toddler play, which is a huge plus."

Cute
"I love how the picnic basket has plenty of space for everything plus more. My 22 month old loves playing with it. The blanket isn’t thin which I liked. Everything is easy to wipe down if needed. I do wish the pear was either velcro or magnetic so it would be easier to “cut”."
