This is the grocery basket Sam got from Santa. It's near the top of the "Favorite Toys" list right now. Sam often tells me, "Going shopping mommy." and I find the first shelf of my pantry emptied into his basket. He just pushes his groceries around the house or "delivers" them to people...tonight daddy got a whole load of groceries delivered to him. Luckily he also likes to imitate me unloading groceries and putting them away.We've also taken this to the grocery store with us when I need to run in for a thing or two and he LOVES pushing his grocery basket in the store. We're working on not traveling through the store like it's a race track though.
This idea stemmed from Sam's enjoyment in pushing a pink baby doll stroller through FAO Schwarz in New York. We make frequent trips together to the grocery store and I thought a grocery basket would go over a lot better with dad...there's even a seat for him to put his stuffed animals in when it's not full of groceries. I searched high and low for this thing (it's made by Melissa and Doug)...I found it in many online stores, but they were out of stock. Then I considered getting the cute wooden and canvas one from Plan Toys (because I love the company so much), but I really wanted a metal one like a real grocery basket. It's obviously been a huge hit.

This is SO CUTE! When you take it with you to the store, are you able to keep him from emptying every shelf into his little basket? I know that is what Gabby would want to do! Although, he may be too busy racing down the aisles :)
Take it to the Market!
