Melissa and Doug Deluxe Standing Easel

This is a great educational tool for children who are not writing well on paper yet. My three year old picked a piece of chalk and started writing her name and now even does well with paper.

Also great for older painters.

Spin Master PixOs Super Studio

from: Spinmaster

August 01, 2008
I did not wanna buy this toy but my son begged me and spent his birthday money on it. My son took it out of the box and tried to get the wrapping off of it. He had a hard time and the tube broke. Now we can never get the balls to come out of the tube. We must use our fingers to put pictures together. The pixos take too long to dry and they dont stay stuck together. They break apart easily. If anyone bumps the table the pixos fall apart and your picture is gone. I knew that I didnt wanna buy this toy. If it wasnt for my son wanting it, I would have stayed away. Maybe you should try to convince your kid to stay away so you dont make the mistake as I have as a parent. This product should have cost [...]. It is so cheapily made.

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Easel Companion Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Art and Creativity
from: Melissa and Doug


I bought the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Easel Companion Set for my daughter's 3rd birthday and the Melissa & Doug Easel. I opened the paints and poured in all of the corresponding cups and she started painting and I started to smell thermaldahyde. The smell was horrible. This was the same smell of when I was in cadaver lab in college and I wore double gloves since it smelled so bad. I threw all of the paints away and the paintings into the outside garbage. I could still smell the thermaldahyde on the kitchen table where I put her painting after she was down. I washed the table with wood polish and kitchen cleaner and still smelled of thermaldahyde. I definitely would not recommend the paint from Melissa & Doug. The box says non-toxic, ... Read More:

Spinmaster Aquadoodle Draw N' Doodle Mat - Colors may vary

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Art and Creativity

I would have liked to know how this toy works before I bought it. As the ads suggest, there is something magical about the way the water reacts with the mat as the kids make their drawings, but the magic ends when we realized the drawings couldn't be erased. Nope, we had to wait on Mother Nature's timetable for the kids' artwork to evaporate. My son was dawdling around before bed last night, then confessed he was waiting for the mat to dry so he could play with it again. Nope. Bedtime, sorry. This morning the first thing he did was pour water all over it to see the whole rainbow appear in it's full-vivid glory. That's all the fun anyone will be getting out of it until it dries again.

Melissa and Doug Slice and Bake Cookie Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Art and Creativity
from: Melissa & Doug

August 01, 2008
This is such a wonderful idea! My two year old daughter was completely taken with this toy on display so I have purchased it for her for Christmas. There are so many different combinations for the cookies, so many ways to play with it. The velcro is a fun way to mix and match cookie dough and the utensils are so realistic. My 4 1/2 year old son was intrigued with these too so I know that they will be fun to play with for a long time. Excellent product-I can't rave enough!

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Easel Paper (3 pack bundle)

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Art and Creativity
from: Melissa and Doug

October 04, 2006
This product was shown (picture) and stated as "Easel Paper (3 pack bundle)" with a price. I ordered it with expectations of 3 rolls. I received one. I called the company and was told it was only one roll that I paid for. I protested saying what was stated "Easel Paper (3 pack bundle)" and price I paid. They mailed me the other two rolls. I Question, why is it being advertised as a 3 pack bundle with the price I paid if that is not true. The man I talked with said is was not 3 rolls, that it was only for 1 roll. I was very uncomfortable with this whole transaction even with the other two rolls being sent to me, with a reluctant attitude, without cost.

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Stringing Beads with over 200 beads

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Art and Creativity
from: Melissa and Doug

October 04, 2006
The description states "stores conveniently". In my opinion, it is not convenient to have hundreds of beads in a shallow box with no lid. I really like Melissa and Doug toys, but lately I've been buying a lot of little storage containers for my various Melissa and Doug toys. It's getting expensive and time consuming. I just wish these things would come with a sliding piece of plastic or a cardboard box. Something to contain the contents.

Easel Paper Roll

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Art and Creativity
from: Melissa & Doug


I ordered this paper to go with the Froggy easel, but it was the wrong size, so be careful when you order this. I was confused because it was featured with a statement that "people who purchased this easel also bought this item."
