Melissa & Doug Under the Sea Jigsaw (24 pc)

Product Description

This playful puzzle features bright, graphic illustrations of colorful ocean characters. Made from solid-wood pieces that easily interlock and fit into a convenient wood tray. A wonderful first jigsaw puzzle. 24 pieces. 15.5" by 11.75" Ages 3+

Fun, durable puzzle. The pieces are a little hard to fit together for a child under three.


I bought this puzzle for Christmas for my toddler. He loves it and also his big brother that is 4 years old, although it is already easy for him.
The product is made of solid wood and hand crafted.
Regards



This puzzle is extremely well made and durable. The colors are vibrant too. It's a little beyond my 2-year-old son's ability right now (just too many pieces at his age), but I know he'll grow into it. I am very happy with the product and it's high quality. Highly recommended.


the pieces looked very good, but two of them came apart and we attempted to glue them together, but as the glue dried, the different plys of the wood shifted and now the puzzle is useless. Another M&D puzzle we have is fine and that didn't happen. Probably was just a fluke.


We just got this puzzle for our 2 1/2 year old. The graphics are beautiful and 24 piece size with wooden tray is great. My daughter loves this puzzle and has put it together at least 25 times in just a few days of owning it! However, the pieces stick together pretty badly, making it hard for her to get apart or put together. Plus, the lamination is peeling off of a few pieces already. In less than a week of owning the puzzle, I've already glued 2 pieces and I'm not sure that is even going to work. I don't see this puzzle lasting past the next few months. I definitely don't think this puzzle will be a "hand me down". This is in contrast to wooden puzzles I had as a child that are still going strong.

Melissa and Doug Beginner Pattern Blocks

Product Description

Little ones can now have a set of pattern blocks of their own. Featuring 10 brightly-painted wooden patterns and 30 colorful shape pieces, this set of blocks helps with the development of color, shape, and matching skills. Contains one fish, dog, butterfly, flowers, bird, and fire engine block. Stores away neatly in a durable wooden case.

My 2 1/2 year plays with this alot. I love that it all stores nicely in the box it comes with. She knows all her shapes and I am sure this toy has helped.


I bought this for my son's second birthday. He loved it and took to it right away. He spent over an hour on it the first time. He's had it for a few weeks now and he sometimes pulls it out and asks to "make pictures". He is so proud of himself when he fits the pieces in and when he completes a puzzle, he claps and cheers for himself. I had been wanting to get him a puzzle that is made up of basic shapes so this works well. I call out the names of the shapes as he puts them in and he repeats them. It's also good for teaching colours. The only thing he sometimes has a problem with is the triangles, because they are not equilateral, so he has to turn them to fit them in. Sometimes he gets a little frustrated but I think it's good he has a bit of a challenge - he's learning to turn them so it's an accomplishment when he fits them in. I love Melissa and Doug products. This as usual, is durable and attractive. There are more interesting puzzles in the box than what the picture shows - there is a train, fire truck, house, flowers, butterfly, dog, etc. I'm really glad I got this for him.


My 3-yr-old nephew loved playing with this since he was 2. Learned shapes and colors, and his almost 2 yr old brother is learning fine motor skills with this toy as well.


My 2 year old received this over a year ago. In the beginning, it got lost under the electronic, attention-grabbing toys. However, it later emerged and he became facinated with matching the shapes to the holes. He has now learned that there are many alternate options (e.g. two trianges can make a square, two squares can make a rectangle, etc.). He and his little sister also like to stack the pieces to make sandwiches! Although this is not their most sophisticated or exciting toy, it is one of few that consistently holds their interest.


I love the quality on these puzzles and their colors are very eye catching. I'm using them in my Bible class - when they answer the question, they get a puzzle piece. (2 & 3 yr. old class)


I guess I just assumed being a wooden toy that this was made here, but nope...sticker says Made is China.
My review is like most others here. Got it for my son's 2nd birthday and he really seems to like it. I like the wooden crate holder. Puzzle pieces are bright colored with 10 puzzles each.


My not quite 2 year old grandson took to this right away! I worried that it might be difficult for him, but he is currently obsessed with shapes and was able to complete each puzzle very quickly. Although he could do it readily, it holds his interest for quite some time and he talks about the shapes and colors and the pictures they make as he places each piece. Definitely a keeper!


My almost 2 year old really enjoys putting together puzzles. Great for learning shapes/colors. We have quite a few Melissa and Doug toys and she enjoys playing with all of them!


I have 2 1/2 year old boy/girl twins. There aunte bought them this puzzle set for Christmas and they absolutly love it. They will sit for at least 30 min putting the puzzles together then turning them over and switching back and forth. I try and ask them what shape they are picking up and using. It's very good quality too. I love them! I would totaly recomend this item.


This puzzle is great for teaching shapes and reasoning skills. The wooden construction is very durable, and safe. Also loads of fun for children, who enjoy puzzles.

Melissa and Doug Pasture Pals - 12 Horses

Product Description

The Pasture Pals feature 12 differently-textured horses and comes with an identification key. They store neatly in a wooden stable storage box.

Includes one each of Standardbred, Hackney Horse, Lusitano, Appaloosa, Quarter Horse, Arabian, Clydesdale, Mustang, Thoroughbred, Saddlebred, Pinto and Shire. Horses measure in range from 3" x 3.5".

I ordered this Melissa & Doug pasture pal set for my daughter for Christmas. She's almost two and loves all things horses. I must admit both her and my son (3) love these horses and it may have in fact been the best gift (in their opinion) of the year.

I , on the other hand, am sorely disappointed. Melissa & Doug are one of my favorite toy makers so i was stunned to see how cheaply made and horrible these horses truly are. They are covered in some strange fuzz that my son now enjoys peeling off of the horses bodies.

I wish they would remake this set in plastic. I would happily purchase and give 5 stars if they were remade.


My daughter loves these. She has named each one, and plays with them every-day. I wouldn't recommend them for younger children, because the tails come out easily.


I purchased this item for my granddaughter, who loves the little horses. She had specifically asked for this from a catalog, so it was clearly something she had checked out.


My daughter liked these horses! They were pretty cute but the case was not really what I expected as it doesn't have a front closure and the pictures behind the horses are made out of thin cardboard. Overall, though, my daughter likes them and that is who I bought them for.


Bought for my 8 year old grand daughter. She loves the horses, and has memorized each and every card that came with them. She can recite all the info on any you pick out for her, so I am very pleased with this toy. She has learned more about horses in a couple of weeks since she was given this than she learned all year taking riding lessons. Very good gift, excellent toy.


My 7 year old is crazy about horses, and this product is a great value because you get 12 little horses for the price you might usually pay for 2 or 3 horses. All you moms out there who have literally a hundred little "horseys" laying around the house will appreciate this! My daughter plays with them for hours. The back of the box also identifies each of the 12 horse breeds, and gives a little story about the horse, so the product is somewhat educational. I gave this product a less than perfect score on the measure of "durability" because the horses are small and the legs could break off if stepped on or thrown in the bottom of a toy box.


My daughter 6 enjoys houses. These horses are sturdy when standing. She enjoys playing with them but as a parent I would not have purchased this product had I seen it in a store due to size and case.


My daughter loves horses and received this before she was two. She plays with it almost every day and builds barns for all the horses, but the tails can be pulled out fairly easily. They can be forced back in, but they are coming out more frequently the more she plays with the toy.


I love this gift! Great price for what you get. These are small horses but are still great. They are soft so you can't let them get wet. My daughter just adores them! Great gift.


I bought these for my twin 4-year old daughters for Christmas and they have a lot of fun playing with them. My major complaint is unless you lie the box flat and store it under the bed (or where ever you have room) the horses tend to fall out easily. Also they collect a lot of lint over time. Every little hair or piece dust seems to stick to them which can be annoying. Other than that they are pretty fun.

Melissa and Doug Geometric Stacker

Product Description

Get busy stacking all different shapes, colors and sizes. This fun Geometric Stacker comes with 25 durable pieces to match and stack on a solid base. Perfect for building shape, color and size differentiation skills. Pieces made of solid wood.

Young toddlers enjoy taking apart. Older have skills to sort. Wooden toy should be around for years.


My twins got this for Christmas when they were 21 months old. For the last three months it has been their favorite toy. They quickly learned how to sort the shapes onto the poles and stack them in order. You would think they would outgrow it too quickly, but now they have the challenge of matching the same-size square pieces and getting the notches to fit together. For some reason, these little challenges fascinate them and keep them very busy at this stage. I also plan to use it for their first try at stringing beads.

Since my kids are older & steady on their feet, the three posts sticking up really aren't a problem. Even if they fell on them, the posts aren't sharp at all, and I doubt it would hurt.

Also, the paint on our set is different from the current picture. Ours has lighter colors, with a light green ball, cube, and octagon on top. We had no problems with sticking paint.

The only problems we have had are: 1) my kids throw the ball & it gets lost, so I just set the ball aside before letting them play with the set, and 2) the paint on the inside of the circle pieces has worn a little by now, which occasionally makes the pieces get stuck on the posts (pulling the circle back off & flipping it over usually solves this). These are VERY minor complaints, compared to the amount of time my kids have spent playing with this toy. I highly recommend it for 18-30 month olds.


I really like Melissa & Doug toys however, we've only had this toy for two days and with three children playing with it (total probably 4 hours of play so far), the sticks were not glued into base and quickly popped off (the baby did that first thing after removing all the pieces). The other part I did not like was the fact that paint is starting to come off already on the square pieces (on the corners). Even if the paint is lead-free, I still don't think it should come off after two days of play. I am hoping to write the company and ask them about that.


Our two year old dearly loves this toy. Once he starts playing with this he
stays with it for twenty minutes or more. He doesn't have the hang of what goes where yet, but it is quite intriguing to him and he loves all the different colors and shapes. So far, we are not having paint chipping issues. (Another M&D toy we bought at the same time as this is already chipping.) The straight wooden sticks are something to think about although the wooden frame does not wobble at all. I would rate this 5 for fun, 4 for education, and 3 to 4 for safety.


CBC News excerpt regarding this product quoted below:

"The federal agency (Health Canada) issued the barium-related recalls for the seven children's toys between August and October...In August, (recall) notices were issued ...A stacking toy set called "Geometric Stacker" by Melissa and Doug (item 094730, UPC 000772005678, batch ZP1207)."


Maybe it's non-toxic but after a half hour of our toddler playing with this - although he enjoyed it - his hands were red and there were red stains on his t-shirt. So its in the garbage now. Is it non-toxic I don't know, though if toy makers used toxic paints for years and lied about them, there's little reason to believe a label that boldly says non-toxic. How many pieces of clothing out there with Gucci labels are not made by Gucci?


My 14 month old loves it and so do i because it's educational. He is at the stage where he loves putting the lids on things, and things on things, wish i had bought this sooner.


My kids love the this toy, they got it for their bday and we now use it for car trips, aside from them now learning how to throw and them throwing them at one an others car seats only a few feet away from one another they are great. I might make them an only supervised toy now that I read someone had to go to the ER because the kiddo put it on their finger. But I mean it seems quite safe and solid to me. My kids usually break toys with in a few months together. So I will update this if it does break as another reviewer stated.


This is a very high quality toy. Something that you come to expect from Melissa and Doug. I really like that there are three options of shapes to stack, it even increases the difficulty with the blocks that you have to link in order to stack them properly. This toy is a little advanced for my one year old, however, he was able to stack the shapes in random order and also like to throw the shapes. This will be a good one to pull out again in about 6 more months.


I purchased the stacker for the nursery at church. The kids seem to really enjoy placing the pieces on the pegs - not necessarily in order, but that's o.k. This teaches them great hand-eye coordination. The only problem with having this in a church nursery with other toys and several children is that it is hard to keep track of all the pieces - they seem to scatter and walk away. We lost one piece after the first day. This is not a design problem or complaint of the toy. Overall - I think it's great!

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Ice Cream Parlor Set

Product Description

The Ice Cream Parlour Set features four magnetic, colorful ice cream scoops, two cones and two magnetic scoopers in a playful freezer storage case. Encourages creative play! Eight pieces.

I am "Melissa and Doug" fan, but the ice cream toys are by far my favorite. My grandsons play for hours creating their "shop", giving everyone their favorite flavors, etc. Also, these toys have been through every scenario you can imagine, and still look and perform like new. Thanks, M and D.!


I got this set and the birthday cake set for my 4 yr old niece for her birthday. Her Mom said she loves them and has a lot of fun playing with them. I thought they were adorable and couldn't decide which one to get so I got both.


Fun toy! The cones, scoops, and ice cream are all magnetic so makes it a lot of fun "scooping" the ice cream onto the cone. Big hit with all the kids (2-8 yrs.old) A little pricey, but worth it because I know it will last.


My 2 year old got this for Christmas because all 3 of my boys (6, 4, and 2) love pretending to make me ice cream cones. They love it! The magnets make it so fun for them to actually scoop the ice cream and they love coming up with different combinations of double-scoop cones to serve. I thought it seemed expensive, but I must say, it was worth the price. They constantly play with it and every friend who comes over loves playing with it!


I love that this set...and others like it. We got the cookie set and the ice cream parlor set. Both are fantastic. My girls (2 and 4) have been serving sweets constantly ever since. A month later we recieved the pizza and birthday party sets...and the girls are in love again. I think we are going to pass along our cheapie kitchen food now...no need for it now. Love these M&D sets!


THIS TURNED OUT TO BE MY GRANDAUGHTER'S FAVORITE CHRISTMAS GIFT. MY GRANDSON LIKED IT,ALSO. THEY HAVE REALLY ENJOYED PLAYING WITH IT.


This was a gift for a (4) year old girl, and she loves it. I didn't really think about why there are (2) ice cream scoops, but her friend, (also 4) came over, and both girls had a wonderful time swapping different "tastes" of ice cream. The magnets are surprisingly strong, and the girls were actually stacking ice cream (4) scoops high. Another Melissa and Doug A+ toy.


This has been a favorite of my two year old daughter's at a friends house, and now she has it for her own.
She loves making us icecream, asking our favorite and playing with it on her own.


The 2 yr old I bought it for LOVED IT. She sometimes doesn't use the scoop, but did grasp the idea of it. Plays with it both ways. Very durable, as it was dropped over and over again. Her 7 yr. old sister also enjoyed the set! I would highly recommend it. Again, not disappointed in something from Melissa and Doug. We have several...


My 3 year old received this gift for Christmas and loves it! It's a quality toy as you expect with Melissa and Doug. It gets dropped alot on our hardwood floor, but has held up just fine. You can stack multiple flavors on each cone. It gets played with alot, we've "eaten" alot of ice cream around here in the last few days.

My only complaint would be that I wish it had a lid for the container! I've had this same problem with other Melissa and Doug toys, they have a nice storage box but no lid. I also think that it would have been nice to offer two more cones, instead of one of the scoopers.
