toys & games: sweet     toys & games:       Melissa and Doug Deluxe Magic Set42 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 good deal You get a lot of stuff in this set, and the tricks actually work! Pieces are quality made with wood, painted with engaging colorful imagery. A couple tricks are hard for my 6 year old, but all the tricks are fun for kids and grownups. Encourages hand-eye coordination.             Melissa and Doug Friendship Stamp Set8 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Perfect I got this for my 11 year old daughter and was thrilled. I was worried it might be too "young" for her but, I found the stamps perfect for any age! I think she is going to really enjoy decorating notes and such as the stamps are varied and good for children to adults.             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 Deluxe Standing Easel198 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Great Gift!!! I gave this to my friend's daughter for her 6th birthday and she absolutely fell in love with it. She's been using it every day - mostly to play teacher and to learn spelling and math. They haven't started using the paint set yet but I suspect she'll love that too!             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.             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 and Doug 60-Piece Standard Unit Blocks90 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Great fun, great value! My two-and-a-half year old grandson can play with these blocks for hours and even enjoy putting them away. The key appears to be the proportions. I know he's registering spatial values as he figures out how to fit them back into the box. I know I'll be purchasing the other sets as well since it's such a fun activity to share with him. You can't go wrong.             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 and Doug Cutting Food Box125 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Lots of fun for your little gourmet! We purchased this item for our then 20-month-old daughter to go along with her KidKraft Large Kitchen and, although I thought it was super cute, it was largely ignored for months. Now, at 2 1/2, my daughter loves this toy and plays with it frequently. It is a great toy to keep her occupied while mommy makes dinner, and it encourages an interest in veggies (an area in which my daughter needs all ...             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 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 & Doug Wooden Sandwich-Making Set20 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug making sandwiches My 3 grandchildren, ages 2 1/2 to 3 1/2, love this! They take orders for sandwiches, then have a great time making them! The pieces are made from wood, so there is nothing to break.             Melissa and Doug Pattern Blocks and Boards25 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 wonderful toy 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 ...             Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Folding Princess Castle40 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug My princess loves this castle! I purchased this castle last Christmas for my daughter who had just turned 4. She loves it and plays with it all the time! She uses the Disney figurines and plays forever running them around the castle. My son is three years younger and he likes to play with it along side her. It opens up wide enough for two children to easily play without getting in eachother's way. And I love that it folds ...             Melissa and Doug Horse Stable Stamp Set13 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2006 Fun, Fun, Fun! I bought this for my daughter's third birthday, she loves horses! She asks to bring it out very often... and loves stamping and coloring her creations. She even brought one of her pictures that she made to her class' show and tell at preschool. A wonderful tool for creativity and to keep her busy inside during the winter!             Melissa & Doug Classic Wooden Railway Set25 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug, 2007 Lots of track; not a lot of filler. I'd have to say one of the best truths is that it really does come with practically 135 pieces of useful track and not a lot of filler such as trees and signs. I was also given a cheaper brand of track from a hand-me-down and it doesn't even compare. We bought this train set for our 3 year old's b.day and it was (and continues to be) a hit. I'm not sure who has more fun me (mommy) or my son. I'm ...             Wooden Take-Along 24-piece Tool Kit32 reviews Melissa and Doug Melissa and Doug Terrific Classic Toy We bought this for my 3 year-old daughter.

This is easy to pick up the pieces and keep them in the box.             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 ...              search for toys and games 24-piece, 60-piece, birthday, blocks, boards, castle, classic, clock, cutting, deluxe, dress-up, flower, folding, friendship, groups, maggie, magnetic, making, melissa, pattern, princess, railway, sandwich, sandwich-making, sorting, stable, standard, standing, take-along, wooden toys & games:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
