Melissa & Doug Wooden Sandwich-Making Set

Cheap Melissa & Doug Wooden Sandwich-Making Set Review




i have two boys (4 and 2.5) who absolutely LOVE all their melissa and doug food toys. this is one of many items that we've ended up getting them because they're still obsessed with making every visitor lunch, dinner, dessert and everything in between. they've even forgotten all about the previous reward of a purchased tv show (on itunes) at the end of a good week (we use the melissa and doug magnetic responsibility chart which they also LOVE) and have decided that it's worth the wait to accumulate enough to buy a new food toy. for their age and energy level i find this to be pretty amazing :)

i'm also finding that my VERY VERY picky oldest son is actually trying new things to eat because he is so fascinated by the act of cooking. i feel like i'm a melissa and doug addict at this point! i would say the only down side is that they started getting their toys made over in china instead of the US like before, but so far i haven't been disappointed by the quality and the only a set of food, which was more plastic than I had hoped, it was a lot of ice cream, but (knock on wood), they are not destroyed it yet, so I stick to 5 stars for all the sets we have so far! ! :)

Melissa and Doug Fold and Go Princess Castle

Cheap Melissa and Doug Fold and Go Princess Castle Review




"santa" got this for my daughter this year. note to self, take off "melissa and doug" sticker before giving to your kid if santa's elves made it. anyway, it's nice and compact, pretty well made, a standard melissa and doug type toy. i like it because it's not crappy plastic. also, our house is small so it's nice that it folds into the size of a small box. it came with a couple pieces of furniture and i also bought the people to go with it with some extra furniture. it all crams in there but i have to help my daughter get it in because it's sort of like a puzzle to get everything in and get it closed.

my one complaint is that it's actually a little hard to play with, since it's so small, it's hard for the toy people to be in any of the spaces, if that makes any sense. like, one person fits in one room. it's just...small. so, that's good and bad. it looks cute, and some of her other tiny polly pocket and princess dolls can be part of the royal community as well. if you must have enough space, I would go to the big one. If you do not, this time everything is fine.

I bought these beautiful snakes placed in a rock garden among Gerber Daises. Grackles torn from the petals of flowers. They are colorful and surprisingly in the garden and the grandchildren love to hunt for him.
