Great idea
I bought this for twin grandsons. They love it. I wonder if I can just get coins and the food items as they seem to loose these small items?

Disappointing Quality and Flimsy Design
Quality: Visible wood pulp. Unfinished surface. Coin slots sometimes jam.
Design: Easily topples when items are inserted.

It's a Hit
Our 3 yr old grandson saw this in a magazine and immediately said I want that. It's the only toy he wanted. His enthusiasm opening it was adorable and he played with it for hours with his cousins. The toy is well made and is definitely a keeper! Love
it!

Time for Snacks
I love the quality and cuteness of the packaging. I am a little disappointed how easily the snacks fall off of the back with just a little bump.

Don't waste your money
We were so excited for this toy but it is completely overrated and overpriced. The coins do nothing. The food comes out regardless of putting the coins in. The food falls out with a little bump. The wooden machine is not very sturdy at all. Littles will knock it down with little effort. :(

Adorable Toy!
This toy is not only fun for my son (2yrs old) but for us as well! Haha it helps him learn how to correspond numbers, letters, and colors to the correct item. My ONLY suggestion for improvement would be something that keeps the snack in place when you’re not selecting it. Any movement to the vending machine easily tips a bunch of the snacks over.

A little disappointed…
Not quite as expected.
You have to fill it from the back, so you have to keep it in the “middle” of the room for play… and then it tips over backwards
The credit card is so hard to fit in the slot to get the coins out
The back does not close without lifting up the door in the back as it’s not fitted correctly…

Worth the wait!
This toy is so cute, my child LOVES it. It works just like a vending machine with coins and a plastic credit card. It's easy to use and even more fun to play with.

Best. Product. Yet!
As a former teacher and current Grandma nanny, this vending machine was well worth the wait (and cost!). Melissa and Doug are always exceptional, but this one takes the cake! It keeps the attention of my 2.5yo grandson, and there are so many teaching moments! So many features! Double sided items; so much color; so easy for him to work!

Love it!
Our son (2.5yo) loves this and has been honing his sharing and imaginary play skills. He also figured out he could put real snacks in little containers and put them in the vending machine to dispense.

I have never seen a wooden toy mimic a real life electronic so well and give off a realistic feel as you play. Im sure this has become my sons new favorite toy that he will play with again and aga...

sturdy, no more flimsy toys
the vending machine itself is very well built, the “items” inside the toy are less sturdy but still well built, they won’t break easily. one thing to keep in mind is that the coins get stuck, one of the coins is a bit too large to fit into the slot

Fun but difficult to use
I received this product through an incentivized offer with Influenster. Although my kids greatly enjoyed the toy, it was at times difficult for them to play with as the toys would fall out of the vending machine area if the toy was bumped or moved.
