We love Melissa & Doug around here. Love. The toys are cute and safe and offer some fun twists you don't find in a lot of the bigger-name toy brands.
A few weeks ago, I got a tip on some M&D puzzle deals at (I think) a Christian homeschooling supply store. I spent a good hour and a half waffling back and forth over all the fun choices before I finally placed my order.
They came on Thursday, and I immediately broke into the box to
When I was shopping, I knew I had to have the chunky tool puzzle. I don't know why, but the idea of puzzle pieces shaped like tools just tickles me. When my mom saw it this weekend, she mentioned that I had a similar puzzle as a child. Great minds and all that, I guess. The puzzle lives up to its name, as the pieces are nice chunky hunks of wood.I had trouble deciding
between the vehicle maze puzzle and the hide and seek farm... so, naturally, I bought them both. The maze puzzle has 9 different locations to match each vehicle to. The cars and trucks slide along the track and can't be removed. No small pieces to lose! The hide and seek farm has a different magnetic animal behind each door. I liked the idea of opening little doors to develop motor skills, and eventually it can be a fun memory game.
One important thing to note, these are not meant to be teething toys. Meg already did a bit of a number on the Phillip's head by sucking on it. These will best be saved for a time when everything doesn't immediately go in her mouth. I'm so glad I snatched up such great deals, though!
Another gold star in my book for Melissa & Doug.
