I love Melissa & Doug toys because they are educational, innovative and lead-free. However, though this toy is great because of the educational aspect and the magnetics, my son and I were disappointed that the shapes don’t align and fit together properly because they have rounded tips. This makes it hard to make the patterns it comes with. If your child would be frustrated because they want it to fit perfectly, then you might consider their other pattern block sets in the wooden box. They have a Beginner one and another one which has more pieces. These have straight lines because they are not magnetic. Here are the links to these two products.

I just got this for my kids, age 4 and 2, and they love it. It is very helpful that they are magnets, they don’t move around as much so the kids don’t get as frustrated. The carrying case is great to keep everything together. We are also starting to homeschool our 4 year old and this is a great math activity as well.

This is an excellent tool for building an understanding of color, shapes, and patterns. There is so much room for learning by using this toy! And best of all, it’s fun! And, for us moms out there, keeping up with it is a breeze. It comes with it’s own vinyl storage case, and who can beat magnetic pieces that stick to the board to ease your child’s frustrations if the pieces don’t “stay” where they are put. The pictures included are really cute – I especially enjoy the duck pattern – and my daughter loves putting them together. All-in-all a really wonderful (and cheap!) investment for hours and hours of fun, stimulating activity! Kudos yet again, Melissa & Doug, for a really great product.

I bought this for a friend’s 4 y/o child. They called back, the kid was wearing this costume for a whole day and played with blocks. Do not know about durability or how often he plays with it, but he was happy to receive it.

I bought this for my 18 month old because she is really into books, puzzles and stacking blocks. She picked up the beading concept right away and was thrilled with this new toy. I think the bright colors and variety of shapes are interesting to little ones and it’s a great activity for teaching hand/eye coordination. The beads can also be used for stacking. We do this activity before naptime or bedtime as a quiet transition. This will be a perfect toy to grow with her as she gets older and starts learning patterns and color families. Another great product from Melissa & Doug.

My 2-year old son was interested in the toy from the moment he saw it. He enjoys stringing the beads and then dragging then around on the string. He can be entertained with it for quite a long time. The colors and shapes are fun and attractive.

The quality of the product leaves something to be desired. After playing with the beads on a hardwood floor for one evening, the paint has begun to rub off the edges of the pieces. The holes in the pieces are not sanded finely enough, so sometimes the string gets snagged when one tries to pull it through. Also, and I don’t know if that is intentional, or if any other similar product does it differently, but the piece of the rope that is covered in plastic is too short: you have to hold the string about 1 inch away from the plastic covered part to fit it into the bead to be able to grab the string on the other end. An adult can do it of course, but it’s hard to do for a 2-yo.

Let me just say- I love the design & colors! My 4 year old has tons of fun creating patterns & making games out of the beads (blocks) & string. However, the paint chips easily, the blocks get dented & the overall quailty is “just okay”. This is not a toy I see lasting through both of my childen (4 years & 4 months). I enjoy HABA’s quailty better when it comes to wooden toys.

The first Pop-up Playset I bought was for my Favorite little Guy, Drake. When he was about 2 he started driving all his cars thru my daughters doll house. One day I saw a Pop-up playset in the store. I bought it thinking he may enjoy to drive his cars in the playset Vs. the doll house. He was thrilled!!! I think his Mom was glad too. Her son’s favorite toy wasn’t My daughter’s Dollhouse. I have gotten EVERY single one that has come out. They fold up to nothing, they are very durable, and the cool thing is that they can be put in a bookbag along with other Pop-up playsets and off you go! I also think that they get better with each new one Matchbox designs! Oh and they have a spot that has a picture to show kids where each piece goes! A must have for every car loving little boy! And if they like to build things this construction set will thrill them!These Pop-Up Playsets are STILL his FAV toys!!!

We ordered this for my son’s 3rd birthday a few weeks ago. He and his 5 year old sister enjoy playing with it and then figuring out how to arrange everything in the set when it’s time to put it away. I was disappointed when I saw how small it is, but that doesn’t seem to take away the fun for them. They still enjoy rolling the cars on it and playing with all of the ramps.

We own a few of Matchbox’s Pop up sets. This one is another great addition! It opens/folds up easily. It is VERY durable (even when our 10 month old is pulling at it, etc). My son loves the huge crane. I love the fact that it folds up into a tiny suitcase. This toy would be great to take along on trips. We take it to restaurants (since it is easy to bring along!). It keeps our 3 year old happy, occupied & quiet.

My son loves these pots and pans and has a great time playing with them. My one complaint is that the red paint rubs off on any other wooden food we have, especially the light colored stuff. So now a lot of our other food has red marks on it that I can’t get off. It doesn’t bother my son at all, but it kind of bugs me that a lot of his new stuff is now marked up.

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.

We purchased these pots and pans for our 2 year old for Valentines Day to go along with the Melissa and Doug Kitchen he received for Christmas. They are a perfect compliment to the kitchen and he plays with them everyday. All of our friends can’t believe how tough and sturdy the pans are – really a great product.
