Excellent toy. My 2 1/2 yr old Grandson loves playing with the magnetic car loader. He likes to be exact / precise when playing with his collection of vehicles. Hand to eye to manual dexterity skills are reinforced.

I bought this as a “keep at grandma’s” gift for our 3 1/2 year old grandson. It kept him occupied for quite some time. He loved using the magnet to lift the cars off and on the truck. He also played with the cars and truck separately.

This is a nice quality wood toy, great for imaginative play, at a very reasonable price!

Liked the fact it’s made of wood (not plastic). My grandson can use his imagination to play with it. He loves the magnets to unload the cars.

This is our second Melissa and Doug toy purchase and our nephew is addicted… We buy them as birthday gifts and I’m surprised the rest of the family hasn’t caught on cause he won’t play with anything but our gift each year the entire day. He’s a car fanatic and love the ability to haul them around. Great quality and detail. You keep making them and we’ll keep buying them. Thank you so much for such a great product.

Wow! Are these great blocks or what?! Completely smooth sanded, raw wood blocks. There are many versatile sizes and shapes to keep kids busy for hours. At least mine! They love building. These blocks come with their own case where they all fit back in easily. We have had ours now for over 3 years and we love them. We have kept them through the years because they can always be used by kids of many different ages during all sorts of imaginative play. Melissa & Doug products are the best and I am completely satisfied with every product I have ever purchased from them.

Daughter LOVES it!

By Marlaon June 10, 2014 Product Packaging:

Standard PackagingVerified Purchase My daughter is 5 and is so into school. Got this with some of her Christmas money. She “teaches” all her dolls, stuffed animals, and younger sister. I created the 12 month names and laminated them for her to use (she clips them on the calendar) – that would be a nice addition to the kit. But it’s just fantastic!

Learning Resources Pretend and Play Fishing Set

Spending time on the lake fishing with your little guy creates lasting memories. There is no better way to recreate those moments than with the Pretend and Play Fishing Set by Learning Resources. He’ll spend hours of fun on his own lake bragging about catching the big one!

Product Packaging: Standard Packaging

 I have bought so many fishing play sets for my son, bc he loves fishing. They usually fall apart the first day he gets them. This is the most I have ever paid for a fishing toy set, but the quality of it is worth it at the end of the day. He loves this toy, and I love playing it with him. The pole is bigger and thicker than most poles. The worms and fish can be good learning tools if you so chose to teach it to them with size smallest to largest, colors, how many. if you have an imagination this toy will surprisingly let you use it.

He loves to role play so the vest and tackle box add to the real feel of fishing.

Great First Fishing with Grandpa Set By Kittyon June 16, 2014 Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase Great-grandson enjoyed the vest most of all. He and his Pop-Pop went fishing for the first time together. Fortunately in the wading pool so Pop-Pop could retrieve what was thrown in by the 2-year-old. Loads of fun and memories!

Another great product from Learning Resources By L. Petersonon June 10, 2014 Product Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase A nice addition to our three-year-old’s birthday party that was fishing themed. As with most things from Learning Resources, the quality and durability of this product are high. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is the fish aren’t as nice as the rest of the set (I bought more with some additional poles so more than one child could fish in the pool at the same time). All in all, a good product though.

Little Cosmetics Essential Pretend Makeup Set

Watch your little girl’s face light with excitement when she receives her very own make up set! The Little Cosmetics Essential Pretend Makeup Set is so realistic that she’ll feel like a glamorous princess. And the best part? No mess! Check out the reviews below for this very cute set.

Wonderful Idea and product. By anonon August 29, 2014 I’m anti “play make up” for many reasons. I don’t like the mess it makes or the struggle it causes because my 5 year old wants to wear it all the time yet I say no because I don’t want to take her in public with blue eye shadow and an orange face.

Besides that aspect I’m concerned about lead which is present in children’s lip glosses even if it isn’t listed due to such miniscule amounts (they add up over time). Anyway I LOVE this product. The “make up” is actually bright colored foam. I highly recommend

Best product for little girls! By Carol Scholzon July 27, 2014 Perfect for every little girl. This is so realistic I couldn’t believe it but no mess. Amazing! Comes in a cute little satchel pouch as a bonus.

Best “pretend” makeup out there By Katecoldmnon July 24, 2014 This looks so real but it is completely pretend. NO mess. Unless you touch it you would have no idea that it is fake. The “makeup” is like a craft foam. My 22 month old loves it and I love that I don’t have to worry about it getting on my furniture. I already bought 2 more sets for my friends’ girls.

Looks like the real thing By Maria H. on June 6, 2014 Verified Purchase My 3YO loves this set because it looks like the real thing. Even the lip gloss roller feels like real lip gloss is coming out. But, do not fear, no real makeup here … meaning no powdery or smeared mess. Your girly girl will love it.

Amazing ‘Fake-up’ By mastack on June 26, 2013 Verified Purchase This set is awesome. I was shocked at how real looking everything was. The eye-shadow, blush, & powder all feel so real, but leave nothing on your skin.

It is made out of some foam pallet, I think. The lip gloss tube really rolls, and the sparkly eye shadow is super sparkly but even when I rubbed my finger on it no sparkles came off (which is great because we don’t want glitter in toddlers eyes)! I am just amazed at the quality and realistic ness of this set. My daughter loves it & it keeps her occupied. I would recommend!

Little Helper Broom Set

How many times have you been cleaning the house and had a little shadow following you around trying to help? Now you can hand your little helper and a broom of their very own! The Little Helper Broom Set is the perfect size for little hands, but even better than that, it will build self esteem and independence as your little one participates in the household chores.

The customers below couldn’t agree more.

20 mo old son loves to help with this set. Well made too.

By jessijeanneon September 1, 2014 Verified Purchase For toddlers becoming more independent & want to do grown up things. Helps me get my cleaning done without having my tools taken away. We keep the dustpan & brush in cabinet beneath HIS play sink, just like our real one.

He helps clean up his own messes & feels proud. I find it’s great to have mini sized but functional “tools” and let him be independent and helpful. So far they seem like they will hold up just fine. I’d absolutely buy again or give as a gift…regardless of gender.

Great little helper toy

By Michael Adamsonon August 26, 2014

This is a great little broom set. We wanted to get something so our daughter could feel like she was helping out with house work and this fit that nicely. It also worked well for us because our younger son felt like he got something as well since he carries around the smaller brush broom. It’s all good quality as well.

Perfect size for toddlers. By art educatoron July 26, 2014

My toddler wants to do everything she sees us do, but things can get out of control with a long broomhandle. She uses this in her playhouse and on the porch. The dustpan has become water toy. Great little helper By aandrews7229on July 11, 2014 Verified Purchase Trying to get my 3 and 5 year old in the swing of chores. It is a huge help having something their size.

Step 2 Whisper Ride II

Nothing beats riding in a convertible with the wind blowing through your hair. And now your toddler can experience the same fun with the Whisper Ride II by Step 2. This ride car will make your little one feel so grown up zooming around the yard! If they’re little legs get tired, you can take over with the pull handle, another clever feature by Step 2.

My 17 month old loves this car. It’s by far his favorite outside toy. We use it to go for walks everyday. It’s nice for the parents to because it’s easy to push without hurting your back and it has lots of cup holders. Great buy and great quality.

My Son LOVES This!!!, August 20, 2014
By Rachel Ruby “Rachel Ruby” (Santa Monica, CA) – See all my reviews
This review is from: Step2 Whisper Ride II, Blue (Toy)
We’ve had this car several months now, and it has proven to be worth every penny. My son loves this so much that he pretty much has a meltdown anytime we force him to ride in just his regular, old-fashioned stroller.

Here’s what I love about this little car:

-convenient cupholder for mom and dad and two cupholders for baby
-handle comes on and off for easy car storage (although we mainly use ours around the neighborhood and don’t transport it often)
-handy storage compartment under the hood (it’s small, but you can stuff a few snacks or small toys or balls in there – I also sometimes tie a reusable shopping bag around the handle so we can tote a few other things with us too)
-easy to steer
-light enough to lug up and down the stairs of our apartment
-cute (people always compliment us on it)
-durable – we’ve had it several months and use it several times a week and haven’t had a single issue.
-secure seatbelt – it just goes around the lap but it gets the job done when our little guy tries to jump ship

I truly have no complaints although I do have one tip… it’s easier to make turns in this if you push down on the handle a bit so all the weight is in the rear wheels.

Buy this now for your little monkey. You won’t be sorry.

However, not every buyer was happy. See what this reviewer had to say.

Cheap and Dangerous!, September 1, 2014
By Hawkswyler “Hawkswyler” (Chicago) – See all my reviews
This review is from: Step2 Whisper Ride II, Blue (Toy)
Assembling this junk is worthy of a trip to the insane asylum, but don’t worry it’s not you it’s this crappy company that would put a feeble product like this in the market place. The wheels are held together by a cap that you have to hammer into place but there’s no way of knowing if the cap has been securely hammered in all the way. After one wheel is attached you then have to figure out a way to attach the other cap with out smashing your fingers to the bone, I stopped and tossed the junk back into the box for a return. We’ll never buy this brand again, cheap, confusing and mostly dangerous.

Good Product

By william masseyon August 19, 2014 Color Name: Natural This box is really good. I had bought one for my son, Iñigo so that he can put his toys on it. it is very easy to assemble and even my kid helped me on it. it is big enough for all of his toys and I like the top because there is a little space so my wife and I don’t have to worry about Iñigo’s hand/s being caught up when he’s going to close the box.

Storage Box

By Jennifer S. Nelson on August 12, 2014 Color Name: EspressoVerified Purchase Bought for my new grandson to use as a toy box for their living room. Wanted something a little dressy where mom and dad could quickly put toys up and still look “visitor friendly” in their house. Only downside were the hinges were a little tight and it doesn’t quite close. Really doesn’t distract from overall purpose or look.

Great product owned for a bit now

By Jennifer D. RhamesTOP 500 REVIEWERon April 1, 2014 Color Name: Espresso Had to put it together and it was not complicated took about 30 minutes. I was alone. The beauty speaks for itself. There is a lot of room for my twins toys. I really love the safety feature on the lid so it will not slam down on little hands their safe.. We really LOVE this toy box. This will last them until they’re grown. It is a deep dark espresso and has a measurement of 31 ” L by 17-” D by19-” H .Has a very nice shine on it. We are very happy with our toy box!!!! My daughters LOVE their toy box of course their the one who picked it out!

Great style

By chicago mom on May 8, 2003 Color Name: Natural When my husband and I were registering for our baby last year, I knew that I wanted a toybox, though I really wasn’t crazy about the plastic toyboxes that seemed to be everywhere. There was only one of these wooden toyboxes in the store, and I immediately fell in love with it. True, some of the plastic toyboxes may be a little bigger (and cheaper), but the wooden toybox matched the decor of the baby’s room, plus it’s very classy, not at all gaudy like some baby items can be. It’s been nine months now, and I still love it. The design is very attractive, and even better, it fits a lot of toys. The toybox has a hinge so the lid won’t slam down on tiny fingers. If you look at the picture of the box, you can see there are openings between the lid and the bottom half of the box so if there *were* fingers still on the box if it were closed, fingers wouldn’t get stuck (this doesn’t apply to the two corners however). Some things that may cause you to reconsider: the box does have sharper corners than a plastic box may have, it is made out of wood after all (the only thing I didn’t consider beforehand). However, the finish is smooth. I’ve been very happy with this toybox. Hopefully my nine month old will think the same thing once he’s older.
