Wonderful toy for my two boys
We bought this toy in 2007 for Christmas when it was on sale. It is very heavy and durable. My two boys who are 2 and 3 really enjoyed it. There are a lot of blocks contained in this toy. The only negative that I could think about this toy is the blocks are heavy. We had a couple of "incidents" where the boys threw a block. You do not want to be on the other end.

We would buy this toy again and would recommend it for other people.

best blocks ever. Atleast compared to what we own
I have 2 other sets of blocks. One of which I assumed was standard unit sized. One of which I ordered online and it was much smaller then my "standard" ones. But whatever. They were fine.
Along comes another kid and we needed another set of blocks to have enough, so I got these to match my other standard blocks. Wrong. These are even bigger then the ones I had.Now I have 3 different sized blocks. But these are wonderful. I dont know what kind of wood they are made from, but they are heavy. Bad if your kid is a thrower I suppose, but we love it. The towers are more stable which makes building easier for the 3 year old... and due to the weight it makes knocking them down with nerf darts more challenging for the older kids. I dont notice any odor, staining or wood filler. The silly little pieces that are of no value but to up the count? Balony. My kid immediately grabbed the half circle, pretended it was a car and drove it all over smooth and bumpy roads ( the other blocks). Kept him busy for an hour, I kid you not.

I love these so much I'm considering another set and packing away my older,smaller,light weight ones.

Wow!
My Husband opened the package and he was amazed! The blocks were even better that he thought they'd be. (he got these for our boys).
He likes the big size of each block, sturdy, and colorless - that way you can easily see what you've built.
Glad we got 2 sets!

Not washable
This is a fun stamp set and has entertained my daughters on several occasions. However, the ink is not entirely washable. I have at least 2 shirts with stains from these stamps. My expectation was that it would be washable in the same way that washable markers are. No such luck.

Fun and messy
I love Melissa and Doug toys. They produce high quality, educational toys that are ideal for toddlers.
My 2 year old daughter always wants to "participate" when I do my scrapbooking, so when I saw this stamp set I thought it was a perfect gift. She loves it! It can get messy, but it is a very nice set and definitely fun for small children.

Fun toy that brings out creativity
My kids love this set, especially my daughter with special needs who absolutely loves animals! It is very sturdy, easy to use, and brings out a lot of creativity in the kids. They enjoy making their own stories and pictures with all the different stamps. They even use them to make "Thank you" notes for all the gifts they receive from other people. I highly recommend this toy. The ONLY thing I think could improve it is if they included a lid on the box to hold all the stamps inside.

Product Description

Kids can use the 16 playful stamps and two ink pads to create countless scenes and then color in their pictures with the seven colored pencils. This well-crafted set is conveniently contained in a sturdy wooden box with a clear sliding lid. It's a tremendous value that children will use over and over again. Measures 11"L x 8"W x 2"D

One year later - they still play with it
I'm looking for Christmas gifts for this year and came across this. I got this for my 4 year old last year and he still loves to play with it - my 2 year old is also interested. I get served pizza at least once a week. They also put the toppings inside bowls and pots and pretend it's other types of food. I would recommend it to anyone with kids from 2-6.

My daughter loves it!
My 26 month old daughter loves to play with this set. She also uses pieces of mushrooms and pepper to cook soup in a small pot.
