Best investment! Santa brought this to my daughter a couple of years ago and she loved it! We are saving it for our next little one. It is made very well and is worth every penny!

REVIEW
A big hit My daughter is 2 and loves this toy. Better yet, she has loved this toy since she got it 10 months ago. It also gets played with every time my 3.5 year nephew is over.
Editorial ReviewBeginning puzzlers build dexterity and problem-solving abilities with this colorful, 2-by-3-foot floor puzzle. A green-and-blue ocean-floor background is crowded with colorful and weirdly shaped marine life, from octopus to crab, fish, and coral. The complex image builds matching skills for sure, as children use the box picture to identify and place each of the big, easy-to-clean, 48 pieces. Alone or with parent or playmate, this scene makes a fun challenge they'll turn to again and again. Glued and matted, it'll also make a wonderful wall hanging. --Ava Natov
REVIEW
Vibrant and fun! This puzzle has beautiful, vibrant colors. The pieces are large enough that I don't think we'll will lose them - like every other puzzle in the house. My son and I enjoyed putting it together for the first time - and he loves all the fish, including the "nemo" fish.
Editorial Review Stamp and sketch to your heart's content with this cheerfully themed collection. When inspiration hits, this simple stamp and pencil set lets budding artists make countless colorful creations. Friendship-themed images include a butterfly, rainbow, teddy bear, various hearts and flowers, and a bouquet of balloons. The set includes five colored pencils for sketching, scribbling, or coloring in the details, and two large pads of washable ink--a blessing for parents of the overzealous stamper. All of the included pieces stow neatly in thesturdy wooden storage bin with transparent lid, so artists always know what's available, and can tidy up after themselves when they're done. --Heather Lyndon
REVIEW
Disappointed I love Melissa and Doug products, but lately they have not included their usual plastic sliding lid over their products. This makes storing this stamp set much more difficult. We have thedinosaur stamp set which has the cover and nothing falls out of it. I wish they would return to including the cover!

REVIEW
Fun toy for 3-year-old This toy is quite nice. My son got it for his third birthday and has been playing with it a lot. It's neat that it actually makes a noise that sounds like cutting a vegetable because you have to slice through the velcro. I will say that it's a little hard for him to cut the tomato because it's kind of small and hard to hold while cutting it. And he hasn't quite figured out how to put them all back together. It's kind of a puzzle, too! I have a friend who has had them for a while, and she says her paint is chipping off and starting to look pretty bad. And it seems like the velcro could wear out pretty easily. It wouldn't be that bad to glue more velcro circles on it, but I think it would be hard to paint it and match the paint exactly. He's only had it for a few days, but it's a hit so far! He also really likes the pizza kit and the sandwich-making set.
Wooden set includes 12 cookies and 18 colorful toppings, knife, spatula, kitchen mitt and cookie sheet.
REVIEW
Perfect For Mommy's Little Helpers!! We have a play kitchen but, did not have any play food. I wanted something durable and not the cheaper plastic that eventually would end up in the trash. I had originally purchased this for my daughter's birthday but, when it came it looked too fun to wait!! Even my sons (aged 8 & 4 1/2) have gotten inon the cookie making action. Great, durable toy that helps them use their imagination.
Let the creativity flow with this set that's packed with supplies for all your art projects. There's 25 pieces in all, including: four bottles of poster paint, four spill-proof paint cups, roll of easel paper, 10 jumbo triangular chalk sticks, felt eraser, dry-erase marker and four paint brushes. Great value and the perfect companion to the Deluxe Standing Easel, sold separately.
REVIEW
Nice set I bought this companion set along with the easel for my granddaughter. When I opened it I discovered that one of the paint bottles had broken during shipment and half the blue paint was outside of the bottle - what a mess. Also, when I opened the chalk it broke easily - before I ever gave it to my granddaughter to use. The paint pots are very sturdy and should work very well. It comes with only one white board marker, so I'll have to purchase more colors separately. I also had to purchase a paint smock and drop cloth separately. I'm sure my granddaughter will enjoy it when I give it to her for Christmas.
Place the colorful wooden letters in their proper places to spell words on the cut out two-sided wooden boards. Includes 20 playful pictures with three and four letter words to keep learning fun. Includes over 70 letters.
REVIEW
See & Spell and be Smart I bought this for my niece's daughter and she loves it. She is very smart and this is a great tool to help her associate the word with the picture. She is writing the letters and is breezing through them. I wish there were more words, however, this is a great starting point. The pieces are very durable and it helps her by placing the letters in their appropriate places. It's a great learning tool and I highly recommend it.
The Ice Cream Parlour Set features four magnetic, colorful ice cream scoops, two cones and two magnetic scoopers in a playful freezer storage case. Encourages creative play! Eight pieces.
REVIEW
