I bought my boys a few things for xmas last night…most of what i got was really only 30 or maybe 50% off…b/c it order to get 70% off you had to pay through the nose to shipping b/c it came from a different retailer!
Toni, I’d be very interested if you or your readers could leave comments listing your favorite (or your kids’ favorite or most frequently used or best quality) Melissa & Doug items.
My kids are 3 years, 2 years, and 4 months old. So we are still in the beginning stages and will use quality toys for many years yet! Of course, I have several friends with toddlers as well, so I’m always needing presents for birthday parties too.
Thanks so much!
I actually have a very old post, I think I wrote it two years ago, of my favorite toddler toys. I was planning on updating it this summer. Thanks for the reminder!

hmm- that isn’t such a good deal. I’m still shopping but I’ll let you know what I find.
Well, I bought things from Amazon that were supposedly marked down a lot. As an example, the caterpillar grasping toy, which had a list price of $19.49 crossed out, was actually $7.99 at the Melissa and Doug website. Luckily I paid a little under $7.99, but still – I’m feeling ripped off and letting Amazon and the sellers know.
Taking advantage of my ignorance!!
I was really excited to see that in my inbox this morning! There were several things I had on my daughters running wish list that I was able to get today. And I shopped around…they were still full price at M & D as well as other toy retailers so it really was a great deal…especially w/ the free shipping!
@Becky – some of my 3yr. old daughters most loved and most played with M & D toys include: (in order of most played with)…
-Talking United States Puzzle (It says for 5 and up HOWEVER…she can put the entire thing together on her own and she knows the names of most of the states by shape/location on the map…all before she even turned 3…Never underestimate the mind of your toddler).
-Wooden Food Groups Set
-Band-in-a-Box
-Beginner Band Set
-Abby & Emma Magnetic Dress-up Dolls
-M & D Learn to Play Piano
My kids love the velcro food. We have the one pictured on Toni’s post here, plus the sandwich kit. I just bought the cookie one for Christmas and it looks awesome. We also have M&D bead kits. Great manipulative for little fingers. Perhaps when your kids are a little older. We had the clock. (Notice “had”.) It turned out to be, for us anyway, a big clunky puzzle that just kept getting dumped.
I’m sorry to be the wet blanket, but last time I bought Melissa & Doug things at 70% off at Amazon, some of them were really not even 10% off… sigh…
Check the prices at M&D before buying!!
Thanks for all the recommendations!
The one we have (so far) is the clock and we love it–teaching numbers, shapes, and telling time–all in one!
It’s a “high chair/table toy” so all the pieces stay in the ziploc, unless they’re seated and supervised.
I’m really excited about the Band in a Box, talking US Puzzle, and Learn to Play the Piano. Sounds great!
Thanks again, everyone!
