 "awesome" 2009-03-23
By Megan Koeller
I baught this toy for my son because he loves stamps and he is learning his abc's. He thinks that it's just alot of fun but little does he know he is learning.

 "Not for 5 yr. old boy who's just not that into the alphabet" 2009-02-07
By K. Shotwell (Wash, DC)
This product represents a mom's failed attempt to improve her 5 yr. old son's interest in his developing literacy skills. He pays it no attention. I hope in a year or so he'll find some use for it. Wishful thinking on my part.

The actual letters and ink pad were smaller than I expected but the overall quality of the product is very good.

 "Quality stamps with educational value" 2009-01-12
By S. Wong
The stamps are good quality, easy to hold and comes in a sturdy storage box (no lid). The stamped letters are clear and the font is easy to read. Toddlers enjoy stamping, pre-schoolers enjoy creating letters and words and the older kids cards, etc. Kids can also trace stamped letters adding to its educational value. The only drawback is it can be difficult to get the stamps out of the box so it really challenges those fine motor skills.

 "great gift" 2008-12-07
By shopsalot (CA)
I gave these to a friend as a gift, so I have not used them myslef, but I have recieved many letters written with the stamps!



They are a great size and the box it all comes in looks very impressive. I reccomend this as a gift for anyone who likes arts and crafts.

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Magnetic Calendar

Product Description

Teach kids about holidays and the months of the year with this colorful magnetic activities calendar. With a combination of magnets and wood, 140 pieces depict most holidays and childhood activities. Includes a dry erase board. Measures 16" x 12" when closed; 16" x 24" when open.

I got this calendar to use also as a magnetic board for the alphabet magnets that we already have. The board works fine, but the enclosed magnets were stuck on the board and was hard to come off initially. And when they did, they left marks on the board.

I guess this may be due to storage condition (got this via Amazon/FatBrain).. but otherwise the calendar is fine.


I agree with the other reviewers that this is a great, functional, educational toy. I also agree that it would have been nice to have had a few different tiles, and the lower magnet 'storage' slate is somewhat impractical. A little cloth bag, or a magnetized back to the calendar would have been more helpful.

My main criticism is that the magnets are not very strong. It's easy for the pieces to be knocked off.

Overall, however, it's a great idea, and kudos to Melissa & Doug for coming up with such a fun toy!


We learned this really cool song in pre-school called "days of the week", so when I saw this magnetic calendar I thought perfect, and it was. Every day when we are getting ready we sing our song and put up the new day. I then have him repeat the day of the week and month. What better way for him to have fun by learning his day's of the week.


my little girl love to work with this calendar every day and it has helped her learn all the months and special days in the year


We bought this for our 4 year old to help him with his concept (or lack thereof!) of time. He likes moving the numbers around, that he can see what's coming, and that he gets to be a part of the "planning" process. :-) My only complaint is the lack of blank tiles. You get ONE magnetic chunk to write your own special ocassion on. There are no tiles for sibling birthdays, so if you have more than 2 children, you'd have to just write, "Sibling Birthday" instead of "T-Rex's Birthday." There DOES seem to be a diversity in the tiles and it seems like all the major holidays are included. I just wish they had more room for individuality!


We'll be able to use this calendar for the next 4 years+..it comes with 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 year magnets, but you could really use it forever without the year on there. It has magnets for tons of different holidays and occasions, including "Sunny Day", "First Snowfall", "Birthday Party", "Birthday" and even a blank magnet you can draw on.


The magnets are easy to pick up and use for my 4 year old. However, I wish that there were more blank tiles to write in our own activities.


This is such a perfect learning tool for children. The product is very well built and is easy to use and can not only teach them the days of the week, but months and the ability to manage their day to day duties and obligations. Very happy with this product.


My son is fascinated with numbers and time. He was so excited to get this calendar. Every day we he is able to tell me the day of the week, date, month, and year. He is only 3 years old. He knows how many days each month has, all the major holidays, family birthdays, and plots out his week every Sunday by putting what days he goes to school, what days he plays soccer, football, or baseball. He puts the type of weather on days that is sunny, rainy, snowy, or windy. It's great. My friends at work call him my blackberry because he's so "on it" about the date.


My 3 year old daughter received this calendar as a gift last year and has absolutely loved it.
I am a Montessori teacher and childcare provider and have been told by parents of my students (all ages 3, 4 and 5) that they love doing the date/calendar every day at school, they try to do calendar time on pretend calendars at home.
So this year's gift for my six little students will be the Melissa and Doug magnetic calendar, I know they will love it!

Melissa & Doug Deluxe 10-Piece Magnetic Fishing Game

Product Description

Can you "catch" all these colorful sea creatures, then put them back where they belong' Redesigned artwork brings new life to these much-loved, creative magnetic games. Includes beautiful board with 10 magnetic pieces and magnetic wand. Measures 11.8" x 9.1" x .6".

my 21 month old son loves this puzzle, he was able, immediately, to "fish" the pieces and put them back. Worth the money!!!


Our 17-month old enjoys the fishing part a lot, but not ready for the puzzle yet so she can fish out the pieces with the fishing pole but cannot put them back in the right slot. It is very funny to watch her fish as she figured out how to cheat by grabbing the magnet and attaching it to the metal button by hand when she loses her patience to hold the pole steady for the magnet to catch. Hopefully we will get lots of uses out of this toy as she grows into the puzzle part. The toy is rated for 3+ but not sure if it will be too easy to hold her interest by then. It is a very nice game nevertheless and we are glad we got it for her.


The price was good, the construction was OK but don't expect a handcrafted piece of art. The kids like it, it look pretty safe so it keeps them occupied and lets then learn some shapes!


I bought this toy for my 1 year old son to help with his eye and hand coordination and fine motor skills. He absolutely loves this toy and will keep fishing until he catches all the fish in the puzzle. I like the fact that it is very hard to take the puzzle fish out unless you "fish them out" with the supplied magnet fishing pole. A great learning toy for a great price.


Use the pole to fish the fish out then put them back by hand. Coordination, small motor muscle exercise, beautiful to look at, and fun! Kids learn shapes, colors, sorting, matching and think they're playing. Our only problem was remembering where we put the pole! but you can still use it without. This is beautifully drawn and a lot of fun. We're glad we got one.



My 1 1/2 year old son loved this toy at a friend's house. I enjoyed helping him work on it as well. But when I ordered this newer version with more cartoon-like fish we are both disappointed. I think the fish and sea creatures look silly, and I can no longer name them. I definitely prefer the more realistic looking sea creatures on the older version and my son seemed more attracted to them as well.

Also with this newer version the puzzle pieces are more difficult to put back because it isn't immediately clear which way is up. I'm sure when he is older it will be easier for him. (I realize he is younger than the recommended age).

He does still enjoy "fishing" out the pieces. It's still a good toy, but we are going back to the older version.


This sturdy wooden game is exceptional for hand eye coordination and toddlers love it. It has been dropped countless times and no wear is visible. Many times a day it is played with and still enjoyed as a toy that is worth the buy.


I bought this for my almost-2 year old niece. She and her 4 year old sister both enjoy playing with it and, according to my sister, it provides some welcome QUIET play time (so many toys lately come complete with loud, electronic NOISE).

Recommended!


The kids love using the magnet fishing pole and discussing their "catch". The only problem I have encountered is how much the 3 yr old loves to twirl the fishing pole causing much potential for disaster.


My fifteen-month old loves this game. He concentrates really hard to get the fish on the magnet. It's great for teaching him patience, and fine motor skills, and he is proud of himself when he catches a fish!

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Magnetic Pattern Blocks Set

Product Description

An appealing combination of magnets and wood, this pattern block set will keep kids engaged and entertained. Includes 120 colorful geometric magnets to replicate the 12 included geometric pictures. Measurements 14.5" x 12" x 1.5".

Megnets are very light it is easy to move they don't stay on strongly. the paper whole set is not made as strong and durable as I thought they should for a three years old......not the best ideas for cars since megnetic pieces do not stay on well and it will fall in your car. They should have use more megnetic power in it.


The magnetic blocks, the well chosen patterns, and the variety of ways to use them make this an appropriate toy for even special needs early childhood. The range of learning skills encoumpassrs logic, art, math, problem-solving, and creativity, while being just plain fun! The storage is handy and makes it easy to pack and unpack the blocks, patterns and board. My two-year old special needs grandchildren enjoy playing and learning--each in their own way. Mom enjoys the easy pack up and storage.
Thanks again, Melissa and Doug!


I bought this for my granddaughter and she loves it. For beginners, you place the different shapes on the board where the imprint of the shape is. As they get better, you can create your own pictures using the various shapes. It's magnetic so it all stays in place. Great for the car.


The product is good but I wish it would have circle shapes also.
It's nice but for some reason my daughter doesn't play with it. She likes other puzzles and pattern sorters a lot but this one is not a hit for some reason. Maybe it's not age appropriate. My daughter just turned 3.


This is a great toy. I find myself making patterns with it too. I really like that it's magnetic. The pieces stay in place perfectly, so no one gets frustrated if the board gets moved. It comes in a very nice storage container thats durable and portable. Great item!


When I ordered this puzzle there was a caveat that children under 3 would be confused. Well, my granddaughter loves this. Yes, you must sit down with your child and help her learn how to do use the puzzle pattern blocks. My granddaughter picked it up quickly and knows the names of most of the puzzles. She has begun testing new forms that are not laid out for her. There are a lot of pieces, so a child this young will need some help picking them up; hey, isn;t this what all grandmas do? Great for teaching geometric form names.


My son is almost 4. He got this for Christmas along with LOTS of other gifts. It is a nice winding down toy for him when his younger siblings are napping and mom is working. He enjoys this toy.


I just got this for my kids, age 4 and 2, and they love it. It is very helpful that they are magnets, they don't move around as much so the kids don't get as frustrated. The carrying case is great to keep everything together. We are also starting to homeschool our 4 year old and this is a great math activity as well.


What child doesn't like magnets? This is a great toy for fine motor skill development. The blank magnetic board allows free form work and the design cards allow a child to form a picture. Great for girls, maybe not for boys.

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Happy Handle Stamp Set

Product Description

Mix and match these detailed, wooden stamps to create hundreds of beautiful scenes and more. Sets include color stamp pads and conveniently store in a wooden box. Washable, non-toxic inks.

I bought this product for my son's second birthday. Is is easy to use and he has lots of fun with it.


My 2 1/2 year old loves this and she can pretty much give herself or someone else a stamp on the arm all by herself. I have to hold the ink, though, so she doesn't put her whole hand in it and then touch something in my house. The yellow is pretty useless, but the other colors hold up well - they don't automatically wash off in the bath but you don't have to scrub hard, either. If you can't find any stickers and want to reward your child for doing something good, this is an easy way. And it makes a great, inexpensive gift that doesn't require batteries.


My 2 1/2 year old daughter loves this stamp set. It's organized, easy to pull out and put away quickly. I especially love that these stamps have handles. It's great because there is less chance that she is getting her hand covered in the ink. The ink is easily washed off, but I still like less mess. I only wish M&D made more stamping sets with handles.


Both my children love these stamps which are just the right size for their tiny hands and since the stamps are fairly small, they can fit lots of stamps on each page.


Both my 8 year old and 2 Year old loved this toy..they made cards to send out and also a story by using the stamps in lieu of certain words.
