This item was introduced in 2017 and retired in 2021.
In her stories, Nanea loves to help out at her grandparents’ Hawaiian market! Inspire hours of imaginative play re-creating a 1940s shopping experience, with plenty of pretend food and souvenirs to arrange and rearrange. Contains: A wooden store that swings open to reveal a bay window and shelves, A movable counter, A 1940s-style cash register with a drawer that opens and numbers that pop up, A 15-piece pretend paper money set with “Hawaii” printed on the front, just like the real thing from World War Two, Three colorful faux-flower leis, Three bolts of fabric in Hawaiian prints, A reversible open/closed sign for the window, A variety of paper price signs and 3 holders for the shelves, Three miniature Honolulu Star Bulletin newspapers, A pair of Hawaiian slippers, A pair of souvenir shoes with “carved” soles, Two shoe stands to display them on, A souvenir coconut purse with a painted face, A decorative Hawaii plate and display stand, Three paper shopping bags, 15 Hawaiian postcards and a display rack for the checkout counter, A produce crate, Six cans of SPAM®—a favorite Hawaiian wartime food, Three pineapples, a bunch of mangoes, and two bunches of dragon fruit, Five cans of macadamia nuts and three cans of pineapple, Two fabric bags of rice, A sticker sheet of posters to decorate the store walls.
I donât have any pictures yet, but I wanted to let everyone know that this set has a lot of play value. There are tons of pieces too stock the store and a working cash register. My granddaughter has spent hours playing with it over the last two days. Stocking the shelves and rearranging them, selling the merchandise. Nanea hired Cécile to work in the market with her and all the other dolls came to shop. Yes there is a lot of plastic, and the mangoes and dragon fruit are clumped, but it doesnt seem to take away from the play value. There is lots of play money, and the grocery bags and newspapers are adorable. The two worst accessories are the pink sandals, which donât fit on any of the dolls that tried them on( the black ones do- they are similar to Naneaâs meet sandals) and the postcard rack is too difficult to put the post cards onto. If you can buy this at the sale price, it is well worth it.
You can put all the pieces inside of the market, most fit in the drawer and if you remove a shelf and lay it on top, you can even put the counter inside, and close it for storage. It is very sturdy. The only fragile accessories are the paper ones. It also makes a nice streetscape with the shave ice shop. Grand daughter also enjoyed having the girls stroll through the âcity.â
Although it is definitely historical and Hawaiian, any child would enjoy it with other historical dolls or joys.
