This was a gift for my son who will be three at the end of the year. He LOVES it!! Plays with it every day. Vest is easy for toddlers and preschools to take on and off unassisted. Goggle are just loose enough not to leave a mark, but tight enough to stay on. The little hat is slightly big on my son, but a stuck a wsh rag in the side between the hat and the adjuster and it fits perfectly. Little pockets hold the tools perfectly and are easy for a child to put in and take out. Love the fact the vest is machine washable, as my son has a lo of allergies and I need things that can be washed often in HOT. He fixes any and everything you can think of. He is constantly asking what he can fix next or build next. Built me a nice new house after breakfast. The saw will actually cut a cardboard box, even though it is not sharp like a real tool. He gets a giant kick out of that. Hats off to Melissa and Doug. This one is a winner.

Great dress up set! Very durable and realistic! My son used this for his Halloween costume and still plays in it for hours. Love it!

My 3-year old son really likes this construction worker play set. The vest is very authentic. Everything seems to be pretty well-made and durable. The only drawback is the pockets in the vest are not deep enough to hold the hammer or saw, hence 4 stars and not 5 stars.

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.

Our daughter received these blocks when she was 16 mo. old and absolutely loves them! She stacks them, nests them, and builds sloping steps for her cars to run down. I was worried they would be too advanced for her (since the recommended age is 2 yrs) but I think that the 2 yr recommendation is to be able to sort the blocks by animal type, color etc. We gave this set as a gift to a 1 yr old and she loved it too. The blocks are made of lightweight wood, so they can be lifted easily, but are strong enough for climbing, sitting, and and being thrown as the tower gets knocked down. Melissa & Doug make such great products and this is no exception. Tons of fun and best of all, no batteries or electronic sounds required!

We got these for our 18-month-old for Christmas. She loves them…but her 3-year-old sister and 5-year-old brother do to! Every child seems to be able to do something fun with these. Pretty wonderful for a toy that doesn’t need batteries, and takes up so little space when it’s time to put them away. We love these!

The perfect stacking blocks, my 15 month old loves them. I love them because they’re durable and nest inside each other for easy cleanup and storage. With all the toys that light up and make crazy noises this simple toy is a ton of fun and his favorite.

Review by happy kiddo’s mom

Numbers 10 through 20 are not single pieces – which is different from what’s described above. There are actually 32 individual digits (plus the 5 math signs):

3 pieces of number 0

12 of number 1

3 of number 2

2 of numbers 3-9.

The odd digits are either green or yellow, and even digits are red or blue (Except “1″ pieces which also come in red and blue, apparently to be used for the even teen numbers).

My set seems to have a green 1 that should be yellow to make for a nice color pattern (red, green, blue, yellow) from 0-20. Instead the number 19 has a green 1 and yellow 9.

But it seems somebody thought the color scheme through, so maybe I just got an off set.

We bought these and the wooden letters for our son for xmas at 20 months. He loves them and now knew all his numbers and letters before age two…they continue to hold his interest and he plays with them on the fridge while I cook in the kitchen. Only downfall is he still likes to chew on them now and again and the paper coating is certainly not meant to be sucked on! (our fault, not the company’s!)

Review by Arlen W. Ayojiak

It would have been nice to have been informed that these pieces are only a few inches long. I assumed by looking at the photos that these were about twice the size, so I was disappointed. My children only played with them once for a little bit and haven’t touched them ever since.
