 "Great beginner puzzle" 2009-04-22
By tlodeco
My 2 yr old son got this for christmas along with a few other puzzles. This is definitely his favorite one.

 "Puzzle fell to pieces, so to speak" 2008-12-29
By Jujube (NY, USA)
We love the Melissa and Doug toys and have bought many. We generally find them to be of good quality construction and durable, as well as engaging and educational.



However, we purchased this and the Africa Plains 24 piece puzzle for our grandson for Christmas. When we removed the shrink wrap and started to separate the pieces, the bottom and top laminate layers on the edges of several pieces immediately peeled and/or snapped off. (One of our grandkids puts everything in her mouth and I could see these puzzle pieces causing a hazard if she picked one up.)



We really like the Melissa and Doug toys and have had great experiences with most of them. I'm hoping that this problem is just a fluke with a bad batch of glue; but this happened with 2 different puzzles. I've emailed them to ask them to investigate.

 "my daughter loves it!" 2008-09-24
By K. Young (longmont, co United States)
My daughter is 2.5 years old and loves this puzzle. She does it over and over again and is still enthralled. Melissa and Doug puzzles are great!

 "great puzzle" 2008-04-27
By Ellen in DC
My 2 1/2 year-old son loves this puzzle. It has enough pieces for him to enjoy putting it together but is not so difficult that he can't put it together himself. He plays with it for up to 1/2 an hour at a time, taking it apart and putting it back together again.

 "A HUGE hit with my busy little one!" 2007-12-15
By Jeddy 3
Another great product from Melissa and Doug. This, and the similar On the Go Wooden Jigsaw, were my 21-month-old son's first jigsaw puzzles, and he loved them on sight! Because these puzzles are made of thick, sturdy wood, there are some not-completely-smooth edges. No biggie -- I gave them a little buffing with very fine sandpaper before I gave him the puzzle.



He worked with the puzzle, with a little help from Mom & Dad, until he had literally memorized it and could put it together lightning-fast. Now, at 24 months, he enjoys putting it together wood-side-up, too, so we're really getting our money's worth with this thing.



One thing to note is that, after much love and enjoyment, the paper is starting to wear at the edges. And my son actually managed to tear some of it off the puzzle in a moment of toddler curiosity. However, contact cement pasted the paper back on and all is well again.



The recommended age is 3+, but I think kids much younger than that can enjoy starting to learn how to work jigsaw puzzles. The look of pride when they figure out how to put them together is priceless!

 "Excellent for my students" 2009-08-03
By J. Jones (North Carolina, USA)


I teach mentally handicapped adults at a local community college, and if you want durable puzzles that your students can use over and over again, I strongly recommend getting puzzles like this. It's durable and can get students to focus their attention. Worth getting.

 "Fun Toy" 2009-06-12
By S. Raman (Los Angeles, CA)
My hyper active 20 month daughter loved it - while nothing lasts her interest for more that 2 minutes .. this kept her at one place for atleast 15 -20 minutes.



I was hoping that this puzzle will last long.. but my daughter was able to chip a couple of blocks after 2 months of active use.

(My daughter took out the door of our TV stand when she was 9 months - just to give you a perspective that this product is not too flimsy).



I definely recommend this product.

 "I love these puzzles." 2009-05-07
By Tricia Krym (Wisconsin)
My almost 2yr old learned her numbers with this puzzle. It's wonderful and easy for little fingers. This is definately not a cheaply made puzzle.

 "Gets the Job Done" 2009-04-13
By JudiAU (Los Angeles)
I bought this because my 22m likes puzzles and has good hand-eye coordination. He has showed an interest in letters and numbers recently. I tried to find something that was nicer but couldn't. I would preferred a sturdier puzzle with more vibrant colors. I don't really expect much from M&D products and this lived up to my expectation: it gets the job done. But really, I wish it was nicer. It clearly isn't going to last long and I would have chosen something nicer if I had found it.



That being said it has helped his number learning. We often play with it in companion to an alphabet/number book.

 "Fun but could be better" 2009-03-04
By C. Smith (APO,AP)
It does exactly what it is suppose to do. The wood is cheap so expect some splintering and if a piece gets stepped on it will break. It is almost the like the wood of a Popsicle stick.

 "Great Brushes For Small Hands" 2009-09-25
By P. Barton
Wow! This is a great invention! I bought these brushes for my grand daughter's second birthday. She loves them. I even received a thank you note from her with a painting she made! This is a must for little hands. It is easy to grasp and durable.

 "Thick sturdy brush for toddler hands" 2009-07-21
By AnnInKC (Kansas City)
My 2-yr-old has enjoyed painting with these for a couple of weeks, since receiving them for her birthday. She likes to cart them around the house, even when not painting! The handles are nice and fat, so are easy for her to manipulate. I bought the matching fingerpaint set from Melissa & Doug, so I make her only use the corresponding paintbrush and paintpot with matching colours (less mess and colour chaos!). They're very lightweight - they might crush if something heavy dropped on them. Brush hair is probably cheap quality (I'm no artistic judge of these things), however, for a 2 yr old, who really cares?

 "Fun and durable" 2009-01-23
By pond swimmer
We recieved these brushes via mail yesterday and though my 18-month old hasn't yet had a chance to paint with them, he loves holding them and carrying them around. Probably sounds silly to give them 5 stars for that reason alone, but he is so excited about them (the colors, the feel of the brushes on his face, and brushing his cars with them) that in my opinion they are already a great success for us. They appear to be very durable as well.

 "Fantastic way to introduce a new kind of fingerpainting A Toddler must" 2009-01-12
By Leslie Lopez (Crown Point, IN)
I love these brushes. I love these brushes. I am so glad that I bought them they are so much easier to clean up after. I recommend these brushes to anyone that wants to paint with their toddler and not get a mess all over the place. I know that I'm kind of taking the sensory play out of finger painting but I don't care. I will do other sensory things with my 2 year old son there are so many other sensory ways to play. These make painting with your toddler CLEAN. I love these brushes. They are perfectly used with Melissa and Dougs 4 color pack of fingerpaints. I taught my son colors by telling him to keep the blue brush with the blue paint, and the red brush with the red paint etc. It keeps your paints from running together and ending up with some sludge like color. They go perfectly with his easel. It also teaches him to be neat. I buy those jumbo Crayola coloring books and instead of just slushing the paint around on a blank sheet of paper with his hands, he tries to paint the coloring sheet. If a little paint gets on his hand he asks it If I could wash it off of his finger. So that he can proceed with his art. If I could recommend only one thing for a toddler parent it would be to introduce your child to painting with these brushes rather than slushing paint around with their hands. It will hold their attention longer

 "Too big for the dollhouse and not poseable." 2009-08-09
By Claire S. Chacon-Hake (los Angeles area, usa)


I am deeply disappointed in this family. 1) The Baby is disproportionate to the parents, 2) they do not bend easily, 3) they can't sit down on the dollhouse furniture, 4) Their clothing is not removable and therefore cannot be changed, 5) they are unable to hold the baby, and 6) they are too big for my dollhouse (a six room victorian).

 "stiff family" 2009-06-15
By Susan Greenfield
There have to be cuter sets for the young child's dollhouse, though my granddaughter didn't seem to mind them as much as I did. They are bendable but lack a cuteness and charm that I wanted. I'll continue looking for a sweeter set for her. She's playing with them until then. I just didn't find them appealing.

 "Victorian Doll Family review" 2009-04-12
By K. Joseph (Natick, MA United States)
This is a great family for a child's doll house. The only thing it is lacking are additional family members. I would like to purchase more "people" for the house and there doesn't seem to be another type of family to add that go along with the look and feel of this family.

 "Leaves A Little To Be Desired, Considering Quality of Other Products" 2009-03-15
By Hank Charleston (North Carolina)
These dolls rank the least of the accessories for the Melissa & Doug Victorian Dollhouse. All of the other accessories are very nice, high quality dollhouse items. Not your typical Toys R Us, Target or Wal-Mart toys. Our 10-Year-Old daughter loves her Melissa & Doug Victorian Dollhouse and all of the accessories that we purchased to go with it. However, the dolls leave a little to be desired. As one reviewer wrote, the dolls are not even victorian! You've got to have dolls, not sure of a better option.

 "Another winner" 2009-03-03
By D. Dickason (Memphis)
This is one of the few doll house figure sets that has children much less a baby. My daughter loves it and seems to play with her dollhouse more now.

 "These puzzles were a hit." 2009-07-01
By Helen S. Kilker
We gave 3 of these puzzles (different titles) to my grandson when he turned 3. The challenges they present are appropriate for him.

 "Good puzzle" 2009-05-08
By Sistertex (Minnesota)
I like Melissa and Doug products they are made well for the most part and stand up to toddlers rough handling. I am giving only 4 stars for this one because toddlers do put things in their mouths and I found with the Melissa and Doug puzzles, if sucked on enough, the paper on the top with the colors start to peel off. I got this for my 2 year grandson and we work them together, so he never is just alone with the puzzle, still he would put them in his mouth and chew while we were trying to find the right 'spot' for a piece and eventually the picture on top would start to peel off. But the pieces were big and chunk and the puzzle was easy for him to work with. I think this is a very good puzzle for a child over 2 years of age to have.

 "Pretty cool puzzle" 2009-03-16
By Tina Ba (Pekin, IL United States)
I bought this for my 3 yr old son. He loves puzzles and dinosaurs. So this was perfect for him. Pieces are thicker than regular puzzles so its pretty durable. Colorful and fun. I'd recommend it if your child likes puzzles, its a good one!

 "Nice Puzzle w/One Major Problem... " 2009-01-25
By Pieces Girl
The picture is great, the durability is good, but would be much better if the picture was printed on the board. The puzzle is just sitting on a blank board. This makes it a little difficult for your average 3-year-old to do without a lot of help.

 "Awesome." 2008-08-04
By K. Rice
Extremely durable. Vibrant colors. Solid build. I loved it so much I bought 3 different ones from Melissa and Doug. A much better investment than cardboard puzzles. Buy it.

 "Not the quality I was expecting" 2009-08-27
By Brit abroad (Houston, TX USA)
This was my first time purchasing a Melissa and Doug product. I am a fan of wooden toys and have a few Haba, Selecta and Plan Toys items that my 11-month baby loves. However, the quality of this toy was disappointing for me. Firstly, the paint has chipped off the edges of all of the rings; secondly, the smaller two rings fit in her mouth completely which is a bit scary, especially when she starts to walk around with them in there; and lastly, I have had to remove the wood stacking pole out of the toy box as my daughter was prone to falling on it. Now, are these the fault of the toy or the child...? I have since seen a few versions that have a better paint that doesn't chip, larger rings, a stacking pole with springs on it that folds should the child fall on it and one that completely comes apart (i.e. the stick comes out of the base) which also solves the falling on problem. I can't deny however, that this has been a great toy for my daughter to play with and we have found so many uses and games to play with the rings. I just have to check for loose paint chips before she gets hold of them.

 "Rainbow Stacker" 2009-06-16
By A. Wong (Castro Valley, CA)
This simple toy is a favorite for baby! The size of the rings are perfect for chubby fingers to grab and the clinking sound that the wooden rings make is very appealing to my little one. As simple as this is he seems to love it. I would definately recommend it.

 "Rainbow Stacker" 2009-04-05
By L. Nelson (PHX., AZ)
I purchased this when my daughter was a baby and she is a toddler now and still playing with it. My other todder (4 yrs) loves to hide the stacker rings and play with them as well.



Melissa and Doug products are excellent quality!

 "Lots of fun BUT paint bubbles and chips" 2009-03-07
By CT Mom (New Haven CT)
My son received this stacker as a Christmas gift at 18 mos old. He loves playing with it and it has helped us teach him colors. HOWEVER, within the first few weeks the paint on the red ball topper began to bubble and chip off. So badly so that I won't let my son have it. The paint has also started to chip off some of the rings from normal use (he is very gentle when playing with it). While my son has a lot of fun with this toy, I am very disappointed in the quality. His Melissa and Doug jumbo peg puzzles seem to be holding up much better. I have written to the company about this issue and asked for a replacement.

 "Fantastic stacker for toddlers!!" 2009-02-01
By Lara L. Person (North Alabama)
This toy is fantastic and my toddler loves it!! This stacker is great for stimulating a child's imagination and teaching order. I have purchased many Melissa and Doug products and they are always fabulous! I wanted wooden toys that are made in America and these are the best by far! No worries about lead paint or child labor!

 "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.

 "alphabet stamps" 2009-01-15
By dje (Iowa)
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.
