Store Front with Countertop

The Store Front offers many opportunities for creative and dramatic play. Place the Store Front along a bike path and let children create their own story —maybe a lemonade stand, a counter at a bank, post office or fast food restaurant – the possibilities are as plentiful as the imagination. Several Store Fronts strategically placed in an outdoor play area create a friendly small town effect. The Store Front is designed with a coin slot and mail slot.

Discover what children are learning when they use the Store Front with Countertop.
