    Default Have you seen this toy conveyor belt?



    I would love to figure out who makes it, or where it's sold.

    Thanks Melaine.

    That just makes me want it more.

    I'm sensing a craft project in my future. Really, how hard would it be to make that? I'm thinking I could just put some dowels on a frame, make some sort of crank, and use a piece of black canvas or something for the belt. I'm gearing up to do a playroom re-do, and I want to have a grocery store setup.

    I googled for awhile using all my tricks and I still can't figure out who makes this. If you decide to tackle it, be sure to post pics, it is so cute!

    Thanks for trying! I was doing the same, but had no luck at all. All I can find are cheesy, really junky looking plastic ones. I'm going to start a running thread over in Clean Sweep b/c I need a sounding board, so I'll definitely post pics. I'm going to drive DH batty. LOL

    The market and cash register are made by Pinolino, a german company, at least it looks like it. I haven't found the accessory set yet - it may be from a different company. The balance scale in the background is PinToys, I think.

    Still working - my German is awful.

    ETA: Not 100% on the Pinolino - it doesn't match exactly, but pretty darn close, so it could be a model made just for MC.

    You guys are good! The PBK one is cute too. I can see the detail on it better, and now I'm convinced I can knock it off. No doubt it will be one of those things that looks like it will be easy and inexpensive, but I'll end up losing my mind trying to do it!
