Melissa & Doug Review and Giveaway

In our home, we have many, many Melissa & Doug toys and puzzles, and my boys were fortunate to receive even more Melissa & Doug toys that they could "test drive" for DS3!

From puzzles to puppets, plush to play food, magnetic activities, music and more, Melissa & Doug® is one of the leading designers and manufacturers of educational toys and children's products. Started in 1988 in their garage, Melissa & Doug® has something for everyone, with nearly 1000 unique and exciting products for children of all ages!

We were fortunate to receive the following Melissa & Doug Baby & Toddler Toys: First Vehicles Set (ARV $19.99), Wiggling Worm Grasping Toy (ARV $7.99), and Picnic Basket Fill & Spill (ARV $19.99).

I knew the Picnic Basket Fill & Spill would be a hit because of the soft and colorful food toys. Smiley loves pretending to "eat" both imaginary food and pretend food, so I'd often find him counting the Picnic Basket items and pretending to eat them.
The Wiggling Worm Grasping Toy is the cutest worm we've ever seen. Unfortunately for Smiley and Musician, we've kept this toy unopened so DS3 will have a "new" toy to play with, but every time Smiley sees the box, he's asking me to open it. I don't blame him!

Of the new toys we received, the boys' absolute favorite toys are from the First Vehicles Set.

Smiley immediately wanted to play with the truck, plane, and car. He's constantly lining them up in a row, driving the car and truck around the living room, and flying the plane all over too.

The vehicles are bright and colorful, and his favorite seems to be the plane--he likes spinning the propeller!

Both boys love to play with the vehicles (so much so they're constantly fighting over them!).

Melissa & Doug offers many other fun and imaginative First Play Wooden Toys and First Play Soft Toys, in addition to many, many other puzzles and toys for older kids too!

And I have a feeling my boys will be getting many other Melissa & Doug toys puzzles and toys for the holidays as they usually do!

Shop: You can purchase Melissa & Doug products at various retailers online and nationwide.

Win:One lucky winner will receive a Melissa & Doug Prize Pack consisting of the following: First Vehicles Set, Wiggling Worm Grasping Toy, and Picnic Basket Fill & Spill.
