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 Have both the girl and boy set.
I love this toy. Even after a couple of years my little ones still enjoy dressing and undressing the characters. I ask my kids to dress them according to the weather- “What should he wear if it’s cold outside?” or dress accroding to a story. The set has held up surprisingly well and still looks nice. Although I wish the tray had a lid- kinda a pain to transfer or bring on a trip.

4 Stars Great Toy for a Boy
This is a great toy for a boy with a sister. My son has a sister that plays dress up and this is his toy to play dress-up.

4 Stars My son loves this!!!!
Remember colorforms? This is the modern, sturdy, safer version!!! My son loves to play with this. It is definitely one of his favorite toys and yes dad likes to play with it right along with him. But be careful from the start: lots of pieces to lose. We moved ours to a ziplock back and that does the trick. Well worth the money!!!

4 Stars Sturdy, good selection of “clothes”
I like this toy; I use it for work with preschoolers (speech therapy). Some kids like it but not all. It has a good selection of different “clothes” and appears to be very solidly constructed. I only wish the box had some type of lid; I thought it would have one of those slide-in plastic lids but it does not. I have to put it (and the girl set I got at the same time) in a separate box for transport.

5 Stars My students love Joey!
I am a preschool itinerant teacher and all the boys and girls love

the many outfits they can place on Joey. It is great because

the children can relate to the different characters, policeman,

fireman etc. Very educational. (How about making a girl and

an African/American one too with all the career outfits.)

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!

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Best toy!
I bought this set for my little girls, 2 & 3 years old. They love it & play with it everyday! Good quality & very durable.

5 Stars Great Mommy & Me Toy!
I bought this for my 2 year old daughter. At first she played with it minimally, and wasn’t so interested, but children develop skills like these so quickly…just a few short months later she plays with it EVERY day…often more than once a day. It really is among her favorite activities.

Because of the choking hazard warning for kids under 3 I did remove the smaller shoes and hats. I also make sure she plays with it only when I’m with her. (She prefers it that way…she hands me one of the dolls and she dresses the other).

It’s so fun how she has favorite outfits she always goes back to, (memory development), has learned to place the items correctly lined up, (motor skills), and chooses various tops and bottoms, (color matching).

The magnets are strong enough to truly hold the clothing in place as dolls stand in their stands.

The choices are many, as far as outfits.

There’s no lid, but all the pieces fit easily into the various compartments. It’s less than 1″ tall laying flat, so it’s very easy to slide under a bed, bookcase, whatever to keep it out of the way w/o spilling.

Easily a five star item that will last long enough to keep for HER children to play with..we love Melissa and Doug pretend food for her play kitchen too!

5 Stars Appealing and Durable
Like many of the other Melissa and Doug toys, this is very durable with sharp colors and simple patterns. Reminiscent of paper dolls without the flimsy paper, these dolls and clothes keep my daughter content and amused and allow her to use her imagination. My pre-school daughter has happily spent a lot of time dressing the dolls and showing us the “pretty girls.” The outfits cling as magnets so they are easily put on and off. Don’t worry parents, these are not the super-strong magnets that have caused the recalls in many other children’s toys. I will warn parents of small children that you may consider removing the shoes and a few other small clothing items before giving the set to your pre-schooler because those pieces could be a choking hazard. But don’t hesitate to buy this set. it is wonderful for home or grandma’s house.

5 Stars Melissa Magnetic dress dolls
It was a great toy for in the car on our way to Florida. The dolls were dress and redressed. Thanks for making the passing time enjoyable.

5 Stars Dress up dolls I wish I’d had
My children have played with these magnetic dress up dolls since they were 2 years old. They are now 8 and 10 and still enjoy them. They are so durable and definitely beat the paper dolls I played with as a child! Made of wood and magnets so the clothes go on and off easily and don’t slide off like paper clothes do. Highly recommended!

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Love this Dollset!
I’m a huge fan of Melissa and Doug toys so when I saw this dollset, I knew it would be perfect for my two-year-old. She has so much fun with this dollset. The only downside is that there is no cover for the box so we can’t just put this in the toybox when she’s done playing. We have to keep it on a shelf and we’ve already lost several pieces.

5 Stars Nice Dress-up Doll
My daughter is 3 going on 4, and the paper dolls are hard for her to handle. She is just too rough for the paper dolls. This however is sturdy, and she can’t tear it up. She and I have had lot of fun playing with Maggie together. I love to see the outfits she creates. I do wish it had a better lid, but that is my only complaint. We haven’t even lost a shoe yet.

4 Stars 4-year-old loved it
My 4-year-old niece loves these dolls. They are magnetic, so great for travel and also makes it more difficult to lose the pieces. Super cute!

5 Stars My daughter loves this!
My 6 yr old daughter has had this doll for a year and a half. She STILL plays with this on a regular basis!

My 4 yr old son has the “Joey” version. They love to play and make up stories about what their characters are doing.

4 Stars Daughter loves it but where is the plastic cover?
We also have Nina ballerina and princess Elise, but Maggie doesn’t have a plastic top to keep the pieces in which I am finding VERY frustrating since we store the other two on their sides, like a book, on a book shelf. I just don’t get it! Other than that it is a really cute dress up toy and the skirts and shoes and gloves are interchangeable between the sets (some tops are, not all). My two boys like it too!
