5 Stars A great first float for infants and toddlers.
My daughter was only 7 months when we purchased this canopy so that she might float in our pool. We had to position a towel behind her to fill the gap and keep her sitting forward. But it did serve its purpose and I have plenty of pictures of her laughing and kicking in it. She is now 16 months and we won’t be able to use it this summer because she is 32″ tall and 26 lbs. We have another child due this fall and will use it again with him next summer.

2 Stars not good for houdinis
My 14 month old son (very small for his age) crawled out of it within five minutes-no joke. If you have a climber/daredevil type- don’t buy

5 Stars good reaction
I bought this as a gift for my 1 year old niece. they haven’t used it yet, but they liked it alot.

4 Stars My 4 year old loves this game!
This is a neat game, got if for my son’s 4th birthday based on other customer reviews and was not disappointed. My son loves playing it, loves opening the doors with the keys and asks to play it again and again. My two year old who does not really understand the concept of the game also loves the use the key to open the doors and find the colored balls. I would definitely recommend it as a fun toy for preschoolers. I have a few complaints about the game, but they are minor. It is very quick to play, it only takes a few minutes and I wish it lasted a little longer so we didn’t just play it over and over again. We haven’t had it long and the plastic doors are already getting a little stuck/broken and the cards fall out easily so I worry a bit about its durability, and lastly I wish there was a way to put different “treasures” in the chest to keep it interesting and surprising for the kids. Instead there is a big pink gem in the treasure chest that is not removable, so opening the treasure chest at the end of the game is not very exciting after the first time you play. Overall though its fun and creative and gets my kids thinking about numbers, colors, and letters – a good toy!

4 Stars Kids love it
At the start I found this game to be dumb, but it has since grown on me. We love to play it with my daughter (She loves it).

Very educational for the little monkeys.

The biggest weakness of the game is that when you open a door, you can see under the adjacent doors. My daughter loves to cheat by looking under. My wife “modded” the rules to close the door after opening it. (Thus all doors are closed at all times). This has made the game more challenging because of the need to remember previously opened doors.

5 Stars Perfect gift
This is a perfect gift for children 2+. My 2 1/2 year old daughter has not lost interest since we received it 3 months ago. My 5 year old enjoys playing it with her sister and likes the advance play with both upper and lower case letters and larger quantities. Last month we Cariboo as a gift and the little boy who turned 2 has not put it away for weeks. His mother is amazed how he is learning his colors and shapes. What a great game!

4 Stars Great toy, bad graphics!
My 3-yr-old son loves this toy and can play with it for hours. He still can only do about 1/3 of the games, but that’s okay because it will grow with him. I love the variety of games – uppercase, lower case letters, music, numbers, etc. My only complaint is that the graphics are terrible. They look like something from the 80s! However, it doesn’t seem to bother my little one, just me. Other than that, great toy (if you don’t mind some noise!)

3 Stars battery hog!
My son is 2.5, and he loves this laptop. I am not happy about the batteries we go through though. Really annoying.

5 Stars My 2 year old knows her alphabet
Don’t let the 3+ label deter you for getting it for a younger child. My parents gave this laptop to my daughter for her 2nd birthday (late March). It is now the beginning of April, she can correctly identify her letters and numbers. Yes, we’ve been working on them for a while, but it’s amazing to watch her figure out which key to press… you can almost see the wheels turning.

5 Stars Nice.
I really like Melissa and Doug Toys. This set is no different.

The stamps in this set look like the ones someone might buy at a more expensive stamp place. They are wooden. While they might have less details than some of the stamps made for the adult market; they have some details putting them a step above the other cheaper children’s stamps you can buy.

The stamp pad is bright and colorful. It did not quickly dry out.

My daughter has enjoyed using her stamps when I have pulled mine out.

Enjoy.

4 Stars Very nice set for 4-7yr old…durable, colorful, cute!
This is a very cute set for young girls. The stamps are attractive and durable for young hands. The pencils and stamp pad are nice and bright colors that girls like. My daughter is 4 and loves her set. I gave it four stars only because the lid does not slide on and stay like most other Melissa and Doug sets. The price is right though for under ten dollars and I would still recommend this stamp set for gifts.

3 Stars This is ok; not for serious card making or projects
This would be ok for small kids I think. My 8 yr old is not that satisfied with it. It does not come with a lid or top of any kind. The product is ok.

4 Stars Great toy, I wish the legs we weighted.
My daughter lights up and gets so excited when she just sees this toy from afar. And she loves playing with it too. We got it when she was 7 months and I think it will be a hit for a long time yet. My only gripe is that my daughter wants to use it to pull to standing and it is so light, that if I don’t hold the opposite edge it will topple over on her. Also if she loses her balancce which she does frequently and she tries to steady herself on it it tries to topple over as well, or she pushes it away and she risks falling if if I am not holding it steady. I know that this will get better with time, but this awesome toy would be MORE AWESOME if the legs were weighted so it was more stable.

5 Stars SO MUCH FUN
My daughter is 10 months old and LOVES this toy! I can not recommend this toy enough!!! She loves the music and noise that it makes. She loves to switch it between Spanish and English. I really wanted a toy that she could pull up on and stand in front of and this was IT. She pulls up and stands there for a LONG time playing. Then she cruises around it. Easy to put together the legs snap right in. The order came very fast and everything was in perfect condition. I suggest using rechargeable batteries because your little one WILL wear them down quickly! =)
