I got these for my niece, she's nearly 6 and loved them. She is learning to read now and it was great to see her sounding out names and putting the letters together to spell them on the necklaces. It's evident that she'll be playing with these for a while as she discovers that you could actually load up the strings instead of having only a couple of beads in the middle. That said: you might want ...             Lamaze Jacques the Peacock50 reviews Learning Curve Learning Curve, 2007 Great Toy Our 3 month old daughter really loves this toy. She is really attracted to the bright colors and patterns and has started reaching out to the toy and trying to grab it. Great toy for young babies!             Melissa and Doug Band in a Box68 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Good times had by all! My son just adores this toy! Since we are pretty tolerant people, the noise from a toy band doesn't bother us and the sounds coming from the toys sound like actual instruments, not cheap fakes.             Melissa and Doug Pizza Party51 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 My daughter loves it! My 26 month old daughter loves to play with this set. She also uses pieces of mushrooms and pepper to cook soup in a small pot.             Melissa and Doug See & Spell37 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 True learning fun My 2 1/2 year old loves this... "toy". I love that it comes with 8 different boards each with a front and back (so you get 16 spelling puzzles in all). My daughter even likes to simply sort the letters on the floor and tell me what each one is or what sound each makes. The possibilities are numerous.             ThinkFun Zingo72 reviews ThinkFun ThinkFun, 2006 Great for all ages WOW! We love this game. I have been in desperatly searching games for my 5 and 8 year old could play together. You know, so the 8 year old does not always have the "upper hand"...and this is it. The game comes with several different ways of playing. We started with the first- the simpleist, and moved on to the harder options. Dad and I have even joined in the fun. We love this. They learn ...             LeapFrog Clickstart My First Computer111 reviews LeapFrog LeapFrog, 2007 Fun and educational preschool computer! I got this as a gift for my 4-year old son's birthday and he LOVES it. I've read other reviews complaining about the graphics which I think is silly. Of course the graphics look like the old Nintento--look at the console it's very similar. You want high quality graphics drop $300 bucks and get yourself a PS3. You want a gaming system that your kid will love and learn from buy the click start. ...             Melissa and Doug Cutting Food Box126 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Great Overall!!! I recently bought this for my nephew who is two and he loves it. I loved it because it wasn't made from stupid plastic. The wood makes it last and durable...so when he growes out of it someone else can play with it. And he loves to play pretend with food.             Melissa and Doug 60-Piece Standard Unit Blocks91 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Great blocks I bought these wooden blocks for my 2 year old sister for Christmas.

My daughter received this purse as a gift for Christmas when she was 18 months old. She absolutely LOVES her purse! And, it is so cute to watch her carry it around and act like mommy. Because she loves this purse so much, I rated it a 5 stars. The main thing she likes is taking everything out.. and back in. She also pretends to put on the lipstick.. and talk on the cell phone. And the ...             Melissa and Doug Maggie Leigh Magnetic Dress-Up17 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."             Melissa & Doug Birthday Party Birthday Cake68 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Birthday cake without the sugar! All our family birthdays fall in September, and birthday cake takes on a life of its own. So, this toy was a nice way for our 2-year-old granddaughter to re-enact all the excitement. She's had lots of fun with it.             Melissa & Doug Flower Power Wooden Bead Set12 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 My niece loves it My niece lives in a different continent and I had this shipped to her for her sixth birthday. She loves crafts and drawing. And has fallen absolutely in love with this set. I always wanted to buy her something like this when she was little. But now that she is six and her brother is four it is safe for me to buy this for her. Since she has opened the box, I hear that she hasn't stopped ...             Melissa & Doug Wooden Sandwich-Making Set20 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug good stuff Good food set, a million times better than the plastic food. I bought this along with the Melissa and Doug Pizza set and so if you only want one set I would go with the pizza set as my girls play with that way more than this but it is well made and the velcro is awesome. Definetly worth it and a great addition to the play kitchen.             Hasbro Playskool Step Start Walk 'n Ride217 reviews Hasbro Hasbro, 2006 We have owned this toy for 5 years & it is still working great! We received this toy as a gift for my son's first birthday in 2003. He was just learning to walk and this really helped him build up the strength in his legs. He got more confident with it and faster and faster with this walker. It is also a nice toy to ride on because it is low to the ground. So if your little one loses his balance, he doesn't have far to fall. I have had 3 more children ...             Lamaze Freddie the Firefly28 reviews Learning Curve Learning Curve, 2007 Colorful! The firefly is so colorful and different things on it for a baby. My future grandson will love playing with it.             Melissa & Doug Underwater 48-Piece Floor Puzzle27 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Can't go wrong with M&D I'm a big fan of Melissa & Doug toys. Well made, durable and interesting without batteries. This is a great puzzle. I'm always looking for things my kids can do together and with 3 yrs between them it isn't always easy. This large, 48 piece puzzle is perfect. The both love fish and the ocean and the pieces are easy for the little one to manage. It's still challenging enough for the older ...             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 ...             Melissa & Doug Deluxe Easel Paper (3 pack bundle)5 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Very sturdy paper This paper can withstand quite a bit. I just wish I could find it in stores instead of ordering it, but oh well. I would recommend this paper and have recommended Amazon since this is the only place that sells it the cheapest.              search for toys and games 48-piece, 60-piece, birthday, bundle, clickstart, computer, cutting, dress-up, firefly, freddie, friendship, groups, hasbro, international, jacques, leapfrog, maggie, magnetic, melissa, peacock, playskool, playthings, puzzle, sandwich, sandwich-making, standard, stringing, thinkfun, underwater, wooden toys & games:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
