My son grew up on Melissa & Doug wooden toys. They are colorful, sturdy and intriguing for the young mind. These toys are evergreen and will never go out of style.
The Melissa & Doug company began in the garage of Doug’s parents’ home. The business continues to grow thanks to the dedication of the company to bring quality safe learning toys to children.
The toys have been names on lists for best toys and have also shown up on television sitcoms. The company produces more than 2,000 items for a wide range of children. For kids who are 3 and older, the Melissa & Doug Car Carrier is a big hit.
This is one of their older, but very popular toys that continues to land on bestselling lists. The toy truck has a ramp that can raise and lower which enables it to tow vehicles as a single or double ramp truck.
The truck and the cars have wheels that make them capable of rolling on any surface. The cars are designed to fit both with racetracks as well as train sets. The Melissa & Doug Deluxe Pounding Bench is another popular toy that’s one of their older creations yet is still a bestselling item.
The toy is suitable for kids 2-6 years old. It includes the bench and the pegs for pounding. Something of interest about the pegs is that they can’t be removed. The set includes the mallet. Kids can learn coordination as well as different colors with this toy.
Also still a bestselling hit is the Melissa & Doug Abby & Emma Deluxe Magnetic Dress-Up Set. This set features two wooden dolls, Abby and Emma. Each doll does come with a stand.
There are 56 clothing items that as your child rearranges the combinations can provide multiple outfits and hours of fun play. If you want to help your child learn the alphabet, a great way to do that is with the Melissa & Doug Magnetic Wooden Alphabet set that features 52 letters.
You get both the upper as well as the lower set for the alphabet. These letters are just the right size for small hands and can make learning words and reading fun. It’s a great set for kids ages 2 and up.
The latest offering from the toy company is the Melissa & Doug K’s Kids Pull-Back Vehicle Set. This is a soft set of vehicles that are perfect for kids 9 months to 3 years. Four vehicles come with the set: a police car, a school bus, a fire truck and a car.
Melissa & Doug
Because they’re soft, they’re light enough for babies to lift and easy for any child to pull back, let go of and watch zip across the floor. The toys can help your child understand cause and effect, shapes, sizes and different colors.
From toddler to young school age the Melissa & Doug line of toys is a sure bet when thinking of toys to help a child learn and develop their motor skills. You can’t go wrong with these toys.
Your toy enthusiast, Brenda
