I have the "Dora Edition." She's a character I never heard of before purchasing it, but every kid I showed it to knew Dora the Explorer. Yes, I agree with another reviewer, the pieces are not very durable. Neither is the board for that matter but you get what you pay for and this happens to be one of ...             Melissa and Doug Maggie Leigh Magnetic Dress-Up16 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Great gift for 3yr old girls I purchased this for my 3 year old cousin. She absolutely loves it. I liked the fact that it is much more durable and easy to play with than traditional paper "paper dolls."             Rubik's Cube57 reviews Winning Moves Winning Moves Rubik's Cube The quality of the toy is very good. It movies smoothly w/o any problem. My son loves it. Great product!             Melissa and Doug Cutting Food Box121 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 *** The Perfect Gift! Even School-Aged Kids like this one! *** Wonderful Learning Toy! I bought this for my son--yes, a BOY!--when he was about two years old, (along with a play kitchen set-up, etc.). I wanted him to explore toys that are traditionally considered 'girlie'--he had the 'boy' stuff already covered--he has tons of guns, action figures & military stuff since his big sister is a Marine! As for this toy--along with just about anything that's ...             Melissa & Doug Birthday Party Birthday Cake62 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Very Cute!! My two year old loves this toy! You can decorate the cake or put the candles on and sing, and I like the tray that holds all of the pieces!             Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Stringing Beads with over 200 beads9 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Beads without aggravation The beads are just the right size for little hands, the box is great for storing the beads and string, and there is friction between the wood beads and the round-shoelace-type string so the beads stay on the string. This is a great toy. The box is less than an inch high so it is friendly to those of us with small homes. I bought this one for my nephew. When I told my kids, they protested ...             Rubik's Professor Cube 5x537 reviews Winning Moves Winning Moves, 2006 great puzzle like its predecesors its a great game i also bought the revenge and of course the rubiks classic cube. i like solving it over and over just for the fun of it.             Melissa & Doug Deluxe Magnetic Responsibility Chart16 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2007 Great product! This was a great purchase. I bought it for my 5-year old but ended up buying another for my 3-year old because she wanted her own. Every night at bed time we go down the list of "responsibilities" we've assiged each and decide who gets a magnet for each. There are plenty of great pre-printed responsibilities for all ages -- the 3-year old has "no whining", "brush teeth", "pick up toys", "take ...             Melissa and Doug Band in a Box67 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 This ROCKS! I bought this band in a box for my son because it was cheaper than buying plastic, loud versions of the instruments individually. I worried that my two-year-old would be bored with these, as there are no flashing lights or applause. But weeks later, he still goes for these toys first. His electronic maracas have been abandoned because these instruments are so much more fun!             Melissa and Doug Wooden Shape Sorting Clock37 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 My Daughter doesn't know she is learning My 3yr old loves this clock. Right now it is a really fun puzzle with numbers she recognizes. However, the learning value is huge. First of all, it is self-correcting. The numbers only fit in one place and there is a small number next to the puzzle piece so not only will one piece fit in that spot, there is also a correctly positioned smaller number to use as a guide. Secondly, it is durable ...             Melissa and Doug 40 pc Basic Cardboard Blocks35 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 A good purchase! My grandkids, just 3 and under 2, love these big blocks. They're a nice change from wood blocks. They're easy and fun to stack, and this set has enough to keep them busy. For serious building I'd buy another set. The kids throw them and knock them down, but the blocks are amazingly durable. A few were dented when one of the kids stood on them, but not badly. We're all happy with the purchase.             Melissa and Doug Solar System 48pc Floor25 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Lost In Space I recently bought Melissa and Doug's 48 pc. Solar System floor puzzle for a 6 year old that I have nannied since birth. He is a very bright, sharp, young man who loves the challenge of putting things together. Since I know of his deep interest in the solar system over the past year and his love of puzzles, this was indeed I thought the "perfect" gift for him. It proved to be just that. ...             Melissa and Doug 100 Piece Wood Blocks Set16 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 block building, brain building oOr daughter loved this toy at 6 months old when we gave it to her and still loves it 3 months later. No doubt she'll play with it for a long time. So many opportunities to learn shapes, colors, coordination and creativity. A great buy             Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden 27-Piece Lacing Beads in a Box15 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Lacing Beads My granddaughter is 3 and loves these beads;they are easy for her to use, colorful, and durable. I have given my grandchildren other Melissa & Doug puzzles and games and they are some of their favorites.             Melissa and Doug Deluxe Magic Set39 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 This is a wonderful way to introduce a child to the world of illusions I have been involved in magic as a hobby since I was 11. My first kit was all plastic and some of the tricks were not well thought out and were impractical. Still, it got me hooked. I now use tricks and illusions to illustrate my sales and training seminars. This set is far superior to the one that I received over four decades ago. One of the things that I like about it is that all of the ...             Rummikub35 reviews Pressman Toys Pressman Toys, 2006 Great game! This is a great game. Family gave me one and we bought another so that more than 4 people could play together. It's a wonderful get-together game.             Melissa and Doug 60-Piece Standard Unit Blocks89 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Blocks, fun for all ages. My son and granddaughter have fun playing with these block together. They are wonderful. Every child should have unpainted wooden blocks. They are great for the child and great for the environment.             Melissa and Doug Food Groups24 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Lasts and lasts The nice thing about Melissa and Doug wooden toys is that they will last through many children, light and hard play and will be enjoyed for a long time. My set is about 5 years old. It has been through 2 kids and is now currently getting a good beating from an overzealous 19 month old. He bangs them and tosses them and uses the food to bowl with. We play identify the food, we serve each ...             Hasbro The Game of Life149 reviews Hasbro Hasbro Really Great This game is really great. It teaches kids about life. So what is it's not very durable. Also some of you adults out there think it's not realistic. Well, news flash... ITS A GAME! My favorite job is the doctor. My only problem is the spinner. It's very hard to spin. But, if you can get over that, buy it!             Webkinz Clydesdale Horse21 reviews Ganz Ganz We Love Webkinz!
