Melissa & Doug Farm Sound Blocks

Product Description

A classic favorite! Animals "sound off" when the two wooden cubes are properly placed in the wooden tray. Find the halves that match and listen to six different realistic farm animal sounds. Develops visual perception and fine motor skills.

Love it! Big blocks. Heavy, Sturdy, easy to handle for the toddler. Fun, Cute sounds!

I basically bought it for myself, but the kids like it too!!


This really is a simple cause and effect puzzle and kids love it, they learn animal sounds and to match .


I bought this toy for my niece when she was about 16 months old. She loved it. The pictures, the sounds. Three months later, she's grown with the blocks. Before, she lacked the dexterity to orient them in three dimensions so make the animals match up. Now, she can handle three dimensional movement, no problem, and her challenge is to get the front and back to match up in the right directions. She knows what animals they are , knows how to make the sound of all of them (woof woof!), and when a pig or a cow shows up in another book, that she can go over, get the blocks and arrange them to make the sound. She. Loves. Them. Melissa and doug - two thumbs way up.


Honestly. Are people ignorant and just negative at every given opportunity? What's with such horrid reviews of this product? One, Melissa & Doug has the BEST customer service. If your sound blocks don't give the desired noise, call M&D. They'll send you new ones free of charge. Seriously. (They very happily replaced my train puzzle bc it didn't make the requisite "whoo whoo" noise.) Two, I love a puzzle that has only two pieces. What parent wouldn't?? And, finally, this toy really does challenge younger children. We had it forever, and my son always loved to help me put the pieces together. At 20 months, he assembled his first match on his own - much to his and my surprise and delight. He now loves to make all the matches, many times over. This puzzle is definitely more of a challenge than the ones w/the corresponding picture or shape under each piece (a lot of M&D puzzles).


I love this toy no little pieces too lose - fun for infant to toddler. Makes great sounds. My youngest has enjoyed it at 1 month (the sounds) and my oldest now 3.5 still loves it. An great easy introduction to puzzles for toddlers and a great introduction to animals for infants. Win win! Not to mention its cute - I can display it instead of hide in with our plethora of plastic toys.


We buy lots of Melissa & Doug toys and puzzles, but this one was really pretty "cheesy" and definitely not worth the $$. The first one we received was also defective/didn't work. I've seen much better versions so I would shop around.


Great educational puzzle for young children. This is the only toy with batteries that we have in our house. This puzzle is sometimes used in evaluating kids.


My son received these for Christmas and his 1st Birthday. He loves it when he matches up the animals or vehicles and makes them make the sounds. He hasn't mastered it but has more fun with it. And now that he's 2 1/2 he's even more interested in how it works. Although a word of caution. When he was teething he thought these blocks were great to scrape his gums on. Which would have been fine because they are smooth but they have the little rubber dots to contend with. He managed to pop off one and now the ambulance doesn't sound. And he did not swollow the dot (which is easy to have happen). But these are essential cause and effect toys that all children will love. We gave our neice the farm set and she still plays with it daily. Great toy but another little thing to remember with the rubber dots...supervise and count the dots!


We received this toy for Christmas and our 1-year-old loves it! He hasn't yet mastered putting the blocks in order, but when we put it together for him, he laughs with delight. He picks up the blocks, chews on them, etc. and we have had zero problems.<p>Older kids (and - funniest of all - adults!) who play with it adore this toy. A great buy - who can beat under $10 for a classic wooden toy with a twist?<p>We have the Vehicle Sounds version of these blocks - both are very cute and a perfect birthday gift!

Melissa and Doug 100 Piece Wood Blocks Set

Product Description

Kids can use their creativity and imagination to build all sorts of things with this 100-piece set. The structures are only as tall and wide as the child's imagination! With endless possibilities, it's sure to provide hours of engaged play.

Bought this for my son. WOW! He instantly opened it and started building. Encourages imagination. Fun and colorful. Now i just need to find a way to keep the pieces together to avoid losing parts. =)


This is a great way to "UNPLUG" your child.
My son is 4 years old and he loves to sit with me and build with these blocks. I bought them in combination with Melisa and Doug's other standard block set. The funny thing is that I have much older children from a previous marriage that used to play with the same blockS and they produced the same result. Best toy I have purchased for my son this year


these blocks are nice. bright colors and fun shapes but they are half the size of the haba blocks that i have.


My two year old really likes these blocks. He is just now figuring out what to do with them. I was a little disappointed that these blocks are much smaller than I had imagined. But they are working out fine since his fingers are still so small. My boy likes all the unique shapes and bright colors.


I bought these for my daughter (almost 3). She really likes them. The only downside is that the paint they used on them makes the blocks really slippery. They work fine on a table, but on the carpet, they pretty much just slide right off each other. On a lighter note, the size is perfect, they are not huge like some blocks so they are easy to store.


Melissa and Doug 100 Piece Wood Blocks Set
Bought these for my grandson, even with all the other things electronics and such he still enjoys the fascination of just building "stuff". It gives them time to use their minds.


Bright, colorful, just right for little hands. He's been having a great time building new things and pretending. Just a good, simple, basic toy.


This blocks are so colorfull and durable and the shapes help to be more creative...excellent learning blocks


My 4 year old grandson, and his parents, were thrilled when he receieved these blocks yesterday. We'd been unable to find colored wooden blocks in any local stores. I was happy to see that the yellow blocks were just as vibrant as the red and blue. In the picture I saw they looked rather pale.

What I wish I'd known prior to purchase is the dimensions of the blocks. They are smaller and thinner than I had anticipated. That being said, their size has not diminished my grandson's enjoyment one iota. He likes to build roads with the blocks and can't wait to build the castle pictured on the box the blocks came in. (As soon as we can find a time when his little sister isn't around to knock it down, that is.)

I do like the variety of shapes as it helps him to learn more about triangles, squares, rectangles, etc. The small size of the blocks is the only thing that detracted from the purchase. Otherwise they earned an A+ from this grandma!


My 20 month old likes them but gets frustrated when her towers topple over. Another few months she'll like them a lot more.

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 Pattern Blocks and Boards

Product Description

These Pattern Blocks and Boards will keep children engaged for hours of rewarding play. They feature 10 simply designed, colorful patterns and over 100 pattern blocks in six different shapes and colors to replicate the pattern shown. Contents store neatly in durable wooden case. Develops shape recognition and spatial relations.

This is a good educational toy.There were some number of pattern blocks missing,but the rest of the toy is good.The colour patterns could have been more distinct from each other,eg. when making patterns,the dark green has to be put alongside dark blue.But overall a good product.


I loved pattern blocks as a kid. I remember playing with them in school and there were a ton of them. I never had a board or anything, just pushed them together, made designs.

We got this for my son when he was 4. It's all right... but I see there is a bucket with twice as many blocks (plastic) available on Amazon for the same price. No boards. I think that would be the better way to go. More blocks would be more fun - the boards are OK but more blocks would be better.

What really bugs me about this set, though, is there's no way to really keep it all together. It came with just a floppy flimsy plastic cover that didn't stay on - it just laid over the box. So you have this solid wooden box with loose pattern tiles flopping around in one side. We got my niece the M&D cutting board & food set when she was 2 or so, and later bought the same for my son when he was 2 or 3. My nieces came with a heavy plexiglass sliding cover - my son's came with no cover. I think that M&D have kind of cheaped out on packaging over the years. This should really have a heavy plastic sliding cover - it would make it so much nicer. We got rid of the flimsy plastic cover and I keep the tiles in a cloth drawstring bag - it's really akward though. I guess if you have shelves for toys it's not so bad but we tend to shove everything in drawers.

Anyway - all in all I guess this is just OK. I think you're better off going for just the tiles, in a bigger assortment.


I bought this one and MightyMind Regular Edition. My son loves both of them, he likes this one to make the said puzzle and then he would make his own design my keeping all the blocks in his way.

Between this one and MightyMinds Regular Edition, I would rate mightyminds higher since it has the potential to be used for a longer time because of its difficulty but this one is surely durable since it is made of wooden pieces and MM Reg Ed is made out of paper and cardboard.

This one will also keep your little one occupied for hours together and he /she is sure to enjoy it(IF THEY LIKE PLAYING WITH BLOCKS)

Cheers......n'joy.....


This is a very educational toy, but my 2 kids, 3 and 4, don't play with it very much yet. It may be for kids a little older. I'm keeping it and hopefully they'll play with it more as they get older. It has a lot of pieces to it. the puzzles are hard to get out with just your fingers, and you can't dump them because all of the wooden pieces will fall out too. That's the only thing. But it's very well made. And very sturdy.


These blocks are excellent and work for a variety of ages. They come in a case with a clear lid that slides on and off of a wooden box. There are also wooden "sheets" that have pictures. Smaller kids can use the clear lid from the box and place it right on top of the wooden "sheet" to match the pattern blocks up. Older kids can just look at the pictures and make the shapes off to the side. I love the versatility of this toy!


If you have a strong-willed child like mine who won't let you have a routine for him, you know by now that you need lots of activities to keep him entertained, so you can keep from going insane!

I was looking for calm, sit-down activities for my son to do before bed. He LOVES this. Sorting out and finding the colors and shapes he needs to make his picture is therapeutic and calming for him. At bedtime he also like the Silly Faces Stick-Ons Game, his Story Reader, and his mama simply reading books to him. I just never know what he'll accept but the point is to get him in bed in a cooperative, well-adjusted manner and quiet activities like these help.

The only thing I would recommend for Melissa & Doug is for them to create better storage for their products. We also have the food cutting set, which all the pieces are sitting in an open "food" crate. It's cute but not practical. I want to be able to stack things and not have everything fall out if it tips over. And also for THIS game, I really have to be careful because the boards and the pieces are all just sitting there open-faced ready to be knocked over. It should at least have some kind of top to put on it, Tupperware-style. I have two other babies and I worry that if I dropped it the small pieces for this game might land in places that only little babies could possibly find!


My son was three when we got this for him. He loved placing the blocks over the pattern boards. Sometimes he would bump the pieces, but didn't seem to mind putting them back. It was neat to see his little fingers working to carefully and the intent expression on his face. Before he was four he began to create the designs next to the boards as well as on them.

Now he is four and a half. He still loves them. He enjoys making his own designs and pictures as well as copying theirs. He knows all the shapes by name and as we walk through town he points out the shapes that make up buildings and trees. This has been a great toy for our family and I highly recommend it for every child.


My daughter received this from Nana for Easter. She is almost five years old and has really enjoyed it, but I have one complaint. Her little brother received the younger child version of this & it has shapes cut into the board so the pieces don't slide off the board. This particular version is just flat so it can be difficult to keep the pieces on the board. It would have been better if the entire picture was inset with an edge all around so the pieces wouldn't slide off. However, she still enjoys playing with it. I also like that it all stores in the box and the lid slides into place so the pieces don't fall out even if the box is tipped upside down.


A big hit in a day of play for a child. So many designs to chose from that they can identify with. They learn colors and shapes in a fun way. They stay focused for a long period of time and learn to be gentle. In my daycare these blocks are played with over and over. They find it easy to clean up after playing because it's so orderly. A wonderful way to learn!


I bought this puzzle set for my four year old grandson because the concept is excellent: replicating color and shapes; building designs. If the puzzle worked, it would be a particularly good pre-reading skill. The problem, as mentioned in an earlier review, is that the pieces slide very easily on the shiny design board. Unless the child places pieces in the middle of the design, and then builds out, the pieces move all over the board. For that reason, I recommend that you buy the magnetic version.
