Hi,

was just wondering if anyone has Melissa & Dough resources.

I love wooden toys and would like to purchase more over the holidays
and these look really good and reasonably priced.

Does anyone use them and do they last?

Many thanks,

Jackie.

Yes, we have a few. The Melissa and Doug latches board being the favourite, lots of bright coloured doors and windows with a variety of locks and catches to open and shut them. Also the toys often have ideas on the back to extend play. :o Joanne

We have that too, and children love it! Very sturdy - takes no end of bashing!

Thank you for your replies.

They are very reasonable on Amazon so I think I'll be
spending a little on a few bits and bobs.
