Awesome!5
I bought this train track for my son's third birthday. It is an awesome train track! My son loves it he has not tired of it in the 6 months that he has had it. He loves building the track. 97% of the pieces are very durable( my son is very rough with his toys) The trains are very cute. I spent a long time on amazon trying to decide which train to buy him and I am not disappointed. I would buy it again. I recommend this train track for any boy who love trains.

Love the train set!5
I love this train set. It is very well made, with one exception, which is that parts of the roundhouse are made of particle board and have crumbled a little. The tracks and bridges and everything are solid, though, and the set is overall well worth the value especially considering the pricey brand alternatives. My son and I have had years of fun with this set, and I would definitely by it again.

Great Train Set Great Value!5
I bought this for my Grandson's 3rd birthday and he plays with it constantly. Before receiving it I kept second guessing whether I should have bought the Thomas track, but after receving it, I have no regrets at all. The track itself is every bit as good as the Thomas track and the train station and trains are at least decent. My recommendation is to buy this set and eventually add some of the Thomas trains, stations, and bridges. As is mentioned in other reviews, if you plan on building 2nd level tracks, make sure you buy the Suretrack clips to keep the joined pieces of track together, otherwise you will find yourself and child becoming extreamly frustrated with the track falling apart every time it moves. I took things one step further and nailed/stapled a Suretrack piece to each wood block riser. Now I can literally drag the 2nd story track assembly around and it stays perfectly in place. Also, I don't know what the other reviewer's complaint was about the track geometry being off. I'm an engineer and would have noticed something like this, but didn't. This is truely a great train set!

Love it!4
My toddler loves this table the the train set (purchased separately). However, when the table arrived it was missing ALL hardware and I had to wait 4 weeks before Melissa and Doug sent me the hardware so I could put it together. It was easy to put together - didn't take much time at all. I'm only giving this product 4 stars however, due to the hardware missing and customer service taking so long to send us the missing hardware. On top of that there was a missing screw hole so my husband had to drill one for me or the drawer would not have worked at all. Good thing my hubby knows how to do that or I would have been out of luck. The other thing is that the table had nicks in a few places which sucks because it doesn't look 100% nice/new. So I was bummed about that and probably won't buy the kitchen set I was looking at because of this. Hope all this info helps.

Nice set, great value, Painted faces off in color4
I ordered this set for my kids, great deal for 8 figures, w/ free shipping under 19.99. These are cute bendable wooden figures, costumes are as seen on the site, but the paint was way off on mine at least, They are very orange faces, like orange construction paper orange not the natural wood color which I would prefer. I got such a great deal and the castle display case is in made of wood and is an extremely nice case. I may figure out a way to just repaint the faces, the ones I have just have unattractive garish faces. Just kinda different than what I saw online at the Melissa and Doug site and Amazon. I can always add more yarn for hair.

not worth the money you save2
I bought these for my son and they are falling apart after only being played with for a short while. We have other bendable people from Plan Toys and though they are more expensive the quality is superior to the Melisa and Doug products.

fun for the kids4
Similar to the Plan Toys figures...these dolls work well with the folding castle set. The Plan toy dolls seem a little more put together, but my six year old didn't seem to notice any difference. She loves princesses, so these have replaced the doll house along with all the other things that go in it.

Features

  • Decorative castle box with eight bendable play figures
  • Includes King, Queen, Jester, Nobleman, two Knights and two horses
  • Great for hours of engaging play
  • A great accessory to our classic wooden castles
  • Exceptional quality and value

Review5
Great product. Should last several generations. I plan on watching my grandchildren have a lot of fun pretending to cook!

Melissa & Doug Pots/pans5
A must have for children that love the kitchen and imagination. The sturdy wooden construction is perfect for drops and rough handling. Our three yr old has "made" everything in these and literally has had hours of fun.

My son LOVES this in his new M&D kitchen!5
We are very pleased with Melissa and Doug. The few problems we have had have been cleared up immediately with great customer service. Their number is on the back of every one of their toys, and they are great at standing behind their products!

Adorable, fun, durable and did I mention aoorable? :-)5
I ordered this from Amazon a year ago for a great price with the FREE super saver shipping, and it has gotten a lot of play. My now 2 1/2 year old daughter and her little friends all love to play kitchen and whip up some fun with this food. (I know the recommended age is 3 and up but in my opinion this is really fine for a 2 year old, maybe just watch the egg if they put things in their mouth still) I would definitely buy this again. Another great Melissa and Doug product!

Great Set!4
My son loves this set. The only downfall is that the orange is just a painted ball and has been permanently taken away due to throwing. The same is about to happen with the lemon, egg and tomato. So, if you have a thrower in your house, beware! They are solid pieces and hurt! Other than that, love it! My son loves to make burgers and hot dogs (no bun with the hot dog though). He also loves to go to the "store" and "buy" milk and bananas. Love the set, and the crates the food comes in!

not as much fun as other Melissa & Doug products3
This doesn't compare to the birthday cake or pizza for fun. For fruit & vegs play food I would suggest the velcro cutting food instead. Way more interesting.

Product Description

Who's hungry? Mix and match to make a yummy meal. This 21-piece set is full of well-balanced, nutritious pretend food. All four food groups are individually boxed in sturdy wooden crates for storage, sorting, and stacking.

Be Warned!5
When Amazon ships this product, the description is printed clearly on the sides of the box. So if you're contemplating this item as a Christmas present, you may want to have it delivered to a different address, or perhaps buy it from an actual store.

Great Dollhouse for Pre-school set5
I picked up Melissa and Doug's Multi-Level Solid Wood Dollhouse as a gift for my niece when she turned 4 earlier this month after spotting it in Amazon's Holiday Toy Catalog. For a beautiful, hand-crafted wood dollhouse that is very well made and easy to put together (half hour tops), the price is exceptional! It comes with everything a child would need for creative play - several rooms worth of furniture, working doors, removable staircases and a doll family. The movable parts of this particular dollhouse are well-tailored for younger children - sturdy, smooth and easy to grasp. The dollhouse's impressive workmanship and elegant appearance make it a nice showpiece for a youngster's room or play area. Highly recommended!

Great dollhouse5
I got this dollhouse for my 2 year old daughter and she loves it. It is relatively easy to assemble and is made of sturdy, solid wood. It actually comes with some furniture and the family of 5 dolls - which my daughter and my 3-year old son both play with - for some reason they really like the baby. We also got a few of the other Melissa & Doug furniture sets to go with the house... it's a very attractive dollhouse overall and provides plenty of entertainment and pretend play for kids.

Features

  • Fully furnished wooden dollhouse comes with five spacious rooms, two movable staircases and five working exterior doors
  • Includes 19 pieces of hand-painted wooden furniture with working doors and drawers
  • Materials carefully crafted for years of pretend play!
  • Exceptional quality and value
Durability and Care
We found the Multi-level Wooden Dollhouse to be pretty sturdy, but care needs to be taken to make sure it remains in good working order. For example, it cannot be lifted by its roof, as this will pull the top section right off. We found that it's best to carry the house from its bottom, rather than grasping any part of its sides, to make sure it stays intact. The painted exterior can also be relatively easily scratched, and an overly exuberant child could also damage the hinged doors. However, if just a little bit of care is taken with this beautiful house, it will weather time very well and can be passed down to future generations.
