Melissa & Doug Tip & Sip Juice Bottles & Activity Card — 6-Piece Pretend Play Set (Ages 3+)

Refreshingly fun pretend play with Tip & Sip juice bottles

This 6-piece Melissa & Doug set invites kids to pour imaginary drinks, mix flavors, and practice everyday conversations in a kitchen, market, or picnic scene. The five bottles come in distinct colors—grape, orange, cranberry, apple, and berry mix—designed to spark recognition, storytelling, and imaginative play. Completing the set is a reusable double-sided menu card that invites children to create custom drink combinations and take orders.

How the disappearing liquid works

When a child tilts a bottle, the pretend liquid disappears, introducing a playful cause-and-effect moment that keeps play moving. The tactile action is easy for small hands to grasp, encouraging repeated rounds of pouring, passing, and pretend tasting as stories unfold.
