Melissa and Doug review and giveaway!!! CLOSED


Melissa & Doug was started by none other then Melissa and Doug themselves. The business started in Doug's parents garage, but from customers support the business grew and has since developed into a much larger work space. Since all of their products are for children, safety is very important. Melissa & Doug does continuous testing through various phases of production. They also stand by all of their work and for this reason they leave their signature on each of their products. This year Melissa & Doug are celebrating their 20th year of business with many more to come.



Review:
This last year I had purchased a Melissa & Doug "wooden puzzle" for my son. This has become one of our favorite puzzles. My husband and I were very impressed with the puzzles make and durability. When I learned Melissa & Doug made more then just puzzles, I was really excited. I was even more ecstatic when I was contacted about reviewing a one of their products from the Melissa & Doug "play food sets". I was really interested to compare another one of their products with the puzzle we had at home.

My children were sent the "Pizza Party". Included was six slice-able pieces, a pizza cutter, spatula, and over 50 toppings all organized in an adorable pizza tray. Each of the pieces has velcro attached so that they can be placed on the pizza and stay in place while the children plays with it. This also gives them the chance to be creative and change toppings. My children personally love how the sides of the pizza include velcro. This allows them to use the pizza cutter giving them the feel that they are really slicing the pizza. We all have had a lot of fun making pizza and serving it to each other. Through this review My family and I have grown to trust the Melissa & Doug brand. I am excited to purchase more of from the "Melissa & Doug Food Play"in the future. I would espcially love to purchase this Melissa & Doug "Grocery Cart". I
give this review 5 stars for the durability, entertainment and value.


Be sure to check out "The Sunny Patch" line. This is a new addition to Melissa & Doug products. Here you can find kids gardening tools, watering cans, and other outdoor colorful apparel including rain boots, umbrellas, and more.

We have been buying products from Melissa and Doug for years because they make products that my handicap child can play with. We expecially love the Vehicles Sound Puzzles . My son is blind and using these puzzles he is able to learn sounds. He also loves the play food as they are big enough and thick enough for him to learn the sizes and shapes of food. He has a blast playing with them all! This is a great give away because the products are good quality products thank you for the chance to add more items to my son's chest!
