Top 5 Melissa and Doug Products

There are many toys in the market that are designed for babies and toddlers, and if you are thinking of buying toys for your little one, then it is important that you choose those that are educational and appropriate for your child’s age.

In the search for age appropriate and educational products, you might want to consider toys from Melissa and Doug. The brand carries over 2,000 innovative items in their line – a lot of them very simple and basic, yet designed to pique your kids’ creativity and other skills. Truly, Melissa and Doug toys are designed for fun and learning, and here are a few of our top favorites:

Plush Giraffe Toy

Large and over the top, this plush giraffe is something that your toddler can actually ride and sit on. The plush toy is realistic looking, cuddly and huggable. At 57 inches, it is a really big animal stuffed toy that can stand on its own. This is recommended for kids three years and older.

Pound and Roll

If you are tired of plastic toys and want to go back to basics with a simple, well-crafted childhood favorite, then you are going to like the Deluxe Pound and Roll, as your child is bound to as well. This is made from sturdy wood, is well-crafted and brightly colored, helping your little one develop color, size and shape differentiation skills.

Animal Puzzle Book

What we love about this Animal Puzzle Book is that it is magnetic, which means that your child can easily put the puzzle pieces in place without it falling off. The book features pet, wild, farm and sea animals and is richly colored to enrich your little one’s imagination. This toy weighs 2.4 pounds (a little bit heavy than regular puzzle books) and is recommended for toddlers 24 months to 4 years of age.

Architectural Unit Block Set

This set features 44 wooden blocks which come in eleven different shapes. Well crafted yet simple, this block set encourages creative freedom as your tot creates and rebuilds architectural masterpieces each and every day. Adults can enjoy the blocks, too! This toy is recommended for children 3 years and older.

Stack and Sort Board

Great for children two years and older, the Stack and Sort Board features five colorful shapes that your little one can mix and match by stacking or sorting. This educational toy helps your little one learn about shapes and develops color recognition, dexterity, fine motor, matching and counting skills.
