Melissa and Doug Birthday Party Birthday Cake

It’s a wish come true! This uniquely playful wooden birthday cake has enough slices and toppings for every “party guest” and enough candles to last for years! Includes wooden spatula and convenient storage box.

5 Stars What a hit!
My three kids always liked to play “Birthday Party”. So I got this birthday cake set for my daughters’ 3rd birthday. Out of all the gifts she got, this was the one she wanted right after opening it. My kids play with it almost every day. Sometimes they pretend it’s pizza too! My only complaint would be that there are not individual serving plates for the pieces of cake.
5 Stars Fun, Durable Toy!
I bought this for my daughter’s 3rd birthday. Two months later she’s still celebrating! She enjoys putting different toppings and candles on the cake, and “cutting” through the velcro with the cake server. I love all of the melissa & doug products because they are durable, unique, and fun.
5 Stars Melissa & Doug Birthday Party Birthday Cake
I got this set and the Ice Cream Parlor Set set for my 4 yr old niece for her birthday. Her Mom said she loves them and has a lot of fun playing with them. I thought they were adorable and couldn’t decide which one to get so I got both.

Quiddler

The challenge of Quiddler is to arrange your entire hand into words. Draw and discard in turn. Try to use those high point letters, but don’t get caught with them uncombined! Quiddler is fast paced because you can play using everyday words. A bonus is given for the most words in each round (so little words can help you win), as well as for the longest word. Quiddler is a delightful challenge for both rookies and word game lovers. Quiddler is for up to eight players.

5 Stars The most played game in our house
We often host game night for our multi-generational friends and family. Quiddler has been the game of choice since we first purchased it. Our very competitive group keeps a dictionary close by to challenge one another. My brother-in-law is often the winner, and claims it’s due to all the “vocabules” he uses. Sorry, pal, that’s NOT in the dictionary! I’ve also given Quiddler several times as a gift. It’s age appropriate for any gamer 9 to 90. Enjoy!
5 Stars We thoroughly enjoy this card game.
Whether with a group or just my wife and I, playing Quiddler is great fun.
5 Stars A good gift for 7-8 year olds….
I had read the reviews prior to the purchase. Considering this is an award winning game, I was sure it would be a good buy. It is a good gift for kids who love words and a first fun game with words before graduating to the Scrabble. Personally, I think it is more fun than the Scrabble for 7 year olds. The 7-8 year olds I bought this game loved it. I got two of them from Amazon. Fabulous gift!
5 Stars If you love Scrabble and word games, you’ll enjoy Quiddler.
Enjoyed playing Quiddler with adults who are Scrabble hounds. The game would also be fun for kids, especially the three letter word portion for the younger set. The game keeps your attention and doesn’t take forever to finish. It is more interesting because of the progressive challenges.

4 Stars Great fun, but broke after only a couple months of use
My boys absolutely LOVED this game, but after only a couple months of use, it no longer works. We had a hard time turning the game off, it always wanted to stay on and wear out the batteries. Unfortunately, I ordered it in October as a Christmas gift, so was unable to return it once they opened it.
5 Stars excellent toy
Very entertaining and keeps my 7 and 3 year old occupied for a long time. It takes a little getting used to for someone younger than 4 to get the caps to fit right, but after that its a lot of fun.
5 Stars Fun toy!
This is definitely a fun toy! The whole family loves it. We all work up quite a sweat running around the house trying to tag the numbers. Great fun. The plastic does feel a little cheap though.
5 Stars A+++
I have purchased one for every child I know and it is a hit every time. Even the grown ups love it! It can be played inside or out and has different levels for advancing ages. Highly recommended!
