User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars My 2 year old enjoys this toy
My 2 year old enjoys this toy. It only keeps her attention for about 20 minutes but she goes to it time and time again.

5 Stars Cute toy!
Great toy. It’s cute and fun. My 1 year old likes it as well as my 5 year old! All of the animals either jingle or rattle softly. Just enough to catch baby’s attention, but not annoy the parent!

5 Stars Two year old loves it
I bought this for my girlfriend’s two (and a half) year old for Christmas.

My girlfriend read the other reviews but thought they were over-exaggerated. Her thought was that her son would not have the focus to line up all of the pins and then hit them in a controlled manner; she thought that he wouldn’t be able to understand the rules of bowling and that the concept of the game was beyond his knowledge. She was right!

But, he loves it anyway. He likes to throw things and the ball is soft enough that he won’t hurt anything. He doesn’t line up the pins, but he plays with each one as if it was an individual stuffed animal. We’ve been able to explain to him about different animals and different animal noises with the help of this toy. He will, on occasion, stand up one pin and throw the ball to try to knock it down, with little luck. He seems interested though and it keeps him happy; that’s more important than a possible future career as a professional bowler.

3 Stars bowling
I do believe this is a nice toy. Unfortunately, I purchased it without previewing it at a store. I think this toy would be more appropriate for older infants and younger toddlers than what I intended. I also thought it was a bit priced for what it is.

4 Stars Fun game
This is a great toy for younger children because he helps with the skills of setting things up and hand-eye coordination. It also has imaginative faces. The bowling pins and ball are large enough but also pliable enough for little hands to get a hold of. All in all a good pick for youngsters in the 2-4 yr age.

Melissa and Doug Wooden Shape Sorting Clock

December 5th, 2009

Melissa and Doug Wooden Shape Sorting Clock




It’s time to “block” around the clock! Two toys in one, this colorful clock combines shape sorting and learning to tell time. Place the numbered and shaped pieces in their proper place on the face of the clock, then move the hour and minute hands to make telling time fun! Measures 9″ x 5″.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great educational and durable toy!
My 4 year old was interested in learning to tell time from our kitchen clock, but my husband and I were not succeeding in getting through to her. This clock is perfect! She is learning to tell time, and our 2 year old is learning her shapes. We love all the Melissa & Doug toys, because they are very durable and educational.

5 Stars Melissa and Doug Shape sorting clock
My granddaughter loves this clock. It helps in teaching shapes, colors, numbers, and time-telling skills in a way children enjoy.

4 Stars Great
My child hasn’t yet learned to tell time but it has shown her what the numbers she repeats all the time actually look like and matching the shapes is never a dull deal for a child who loves puzzels. The product itself is durable and filled with pleasing colors. Lasting wood and I haven’t seen a hint of color chipping. Over all i’m very pleased and I know it will be used for quite a while still when she’s ready to learn about the actual clock.

5 Stars Makes telling time fun!
This toy has helped my 4 year old to understand how the clock moves, tell basic time, and will be a keeper as she learns more about telling time as she gets into school. Great instructional toy, one to keep around! Defiantly not going into any yard sales any time soon!

5 Stars Well constructed
The toy was very well constructed and appeared to be a great learning tool to learn time. I, however wanted a wall clock which I thought this was. The misconception was on my part otherwise I would have kept it however I had to return it.

5 Stars Cuter than anticipated
I didn’t think this webkinz was all that cute, but my daughter wanted a frog to match her pajamas. When it came, it was much cuter than the picture. My daughter also really liked the frog home and stuff she could get/do on the webkinz website. The shipping was very quick.

5 Stars Interactive Fun
My daughter loves her Webkins and has enjoyed spending time online playing with the virtual side of her toy.

2 Stars If you are looking for a hot Collectible, Check out Discmo
Haven’t we done this before. Really, how many stuffed animals can a kid have. And if you want stuffed animals, try BEANIE BABIES….They sell for three bucks now, just like these will a year from now. Anyway, if you are looking for a hot collectible, check out Discmo. They are very durable toy discs sold in themed sets as well as individually. The cool thing about them is they are a totally opened-ended toy with educational value. On top of that, they are a collectible. Anyway, my kids and all thier friends love them. They like to find new way to play. I feel good becasue I am providing them with a toy that is actually helping them develop critical skills and also encourages use of the imagination. Check them out.

5 Stars Webkinz spotted frog
This is my latest Webkinz out of all eleven Webkinz that i do have. My dad got one for me for a present for getting all my times under a minute at a swim meet. My friend Macy has a little sister thats 2 years old and she absolutly loves the stuffed animal.Hopefully Webkinz will still be around when shes 5 so she can enter the code.

Webkinz are SO popular that people are cutting tags of of webkinz in the store and stealing them! and people are guessing codes not knowing if they will get a Bear, Unicorn, frog, etc. and when people get the webkinz with a tag thats been used they get a very sad suprise. These are loveable little pets for any age!!!

4 Stars webkinz frogs
this was actually a gift, but the receipient seems very pleased with it. It is very soft and cuddly as well as cute. It is supposed to be educational as well but I don’t know if they went on to the website to interact or no.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars My daughter loves this!
My 4 year old daughter loves to play dress-up and this set is, by far, the sturdiest I’ve found. She has lots of fun with this.

5 Stars Good for 4 years and up.
Bought for my 2 1/2 yr granddaughter. Her mother and I were more interested in it than she was. Mandy loves to change clothes on herself and her teddy bear but I’m thinking she’s too young for this concept. The items are just adorable, lots of accessories with each outfit and all very sturdy. The box is cute, too, but needs a permanent lid. I’ll save it for next visit or play with it myself! I got the princess and the ballerina and they’re both great quality toys.

5 Stars Wonderfull
I got this for my two year old. She loves it. I do too. It’s durable, compact, and a great toy teaching matching and helping with dexterity.

3 Stars magnetic dress up toy
I thought the girls (8.6 and 4) would like playing with these. They didn’t. Good durable toy, but got bored with it quickly.

4 Stars princess dress up doll
This is a sturdy and well made toy. My daughter is 3 tho, and she doesn’t seem very interested in it yet. maybe she is too young yet, but it’s a very well made toy and has lots of outfits for the princess. I’m keeping it for a while and when she is a little older, hopefully she’ll play with it more.

5 Stars Great for a Four-Year-Old
My niece loved this paper doll. It’s durable and sturdy. It’s just what I wanted for her. She loves it.

4 Stars Fun Ballerina
My 2 1/2 year old daughter really likes this. She got it for Christmas and has fun dressing up the Ballerina. Wish it had a lid…but other than that it’s a cute simple toy.

5 Stars Very fun to play dress up
With two girls ages 4 and 2, this is perfect. Very durable and easy for them to handle. They love learning how to match an outfit, or even make crazy combinations. We had previously received a doll from grandma, so another doll was necessary to keep peace!

4 Stars Granddaughter loves it…
I purchased this for my granddaughter and she likes to dress it up. It is much easier than most dolls and as often as she likes to change what she is wearing, this ballerina can change just as quick as my granddaughter.

4 Stars My 3 year old daughter loves this toy!
My 3 year old absolutely loves dressing up this wooden ballerina with magnetic dress-up pieces! She’ll sit quietly and dress her up in one outfit after another. I just wish it came with a lid for storage. But other than that a great, durable toy!
