People Domino Rally Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We bought this little set of people dominos at a yard sale, and felt quite fortunate for it seeing the price here. I don't know that I would have paid that much. However, they are very nicely made, and a great deal of fun to play with, both as dominos, and as open-ended playthings which can be used for role-playing as well as incorporated into building with traditional wooden blocks.
The set comes in a canvas carrying case with lots and lots of people - just shy of 100 in our set - in all the colors of the rainbow, including light/dark blues and light/dark greens. The people are two shapes, male and female. The male figures can be stacked into a human pyramid, while the females with their slanted shoulders cannot.
The extra pieces include two 3-step unfinished wooden stairs, 7 unfinished cylindrical blocks that can be made into a stair-like formation during domino play, a battering ram, orange windmill, and a bell that can be rung as the little people topple into it. The latter three pieces are great fun for independent building as well.
All the pieces are smooth, solid wood, with what appears to be a stain rather than traditional paint, which is nice because it does away with the mess and danger of chipping pieces of paint.
Both our girls have a great time with this set, and play with it every few days, as we keep it in an open basket in our playroom beside their other building sets.
I think if I were going to pay full price I'd purchase the similar Haba set instead of this one, though I'll confess I find the pieces in this one to be more aesthetically pleasing. I believe this set is made in China, while the similar Haba set is made in Germany, and would rank a bit higher on safety in my mind. However, for what this set is and what we got it for, I think it's tops. If you don't mind products manufactured in China, I'd recommend this one. I'd say, in terms of appearance and functionality, this set is very high quality - and it's a lot of fun!

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Kitchen Accessory Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son loves these pots and pans and has a great time playing with them. My one complaint is that the red paint rubs off on any other wooden food we have, especially the light colored stuff. So now a lot of our other food has red marks on it that I can't get off. It doesn't bother my son at all, but it kind of bugs me that a lot of his new stuff is now marked up.

BRIO Network Mailbox and EMO Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)BRIO is the most durable and has the best quality wooden train on the market. My son loves the Network and EMO pieces. He includes it with the regular BRIO railway he has. When children combine different sets is what we want our little ones to do. It is a sign of cognitive development and means he/she is on track in their creative/dramatic play.

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Ramp Racer Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This set comes with two wooden cars. One wooden car came apart on Christmas day. The axel came out and the wheels fell off. No way to fix the car. One wooden car kept flipping sideways and would not make it down the ramp. Matchbox sized cars will also fit, but Thomas trains will not. Wooden cars would sometimes fly off the back sides of the ramps. Kids liked the idea, but we returned our set. Wood ramps were sturdy, but it was VERY difficult to line up the ramps for assembly. As soon as you get one peg in place, the other pegs popped out. Took about 30 minutes to finally put it together. I was dissapointed, as I had looked at many other ramp racers and opted for Melissa &Doug. This product was not reviewed by anyone on Amazon prior to Xmas of 2006, so I hope this review helps other parents.

It's an exciting game of speed for one or two players! Choose the police car or the taxi, then individually release the starting levers and watch the wooden cars speed through colorful cityscapes and down the five brightly-colored, wooden ramps. Measures 22" x 23.5" x 6" when assembled.

Trumpet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sure this one's a bit more than the other toy trumpets. But we had this one, it broke (after a year of daily use by our 1.5 year old boy). We replaced it with the cheaper one which broke in just a few weeks.
I just surprized my son with this one for his 3rd birthday. He was so excited to have his trumpet back.
If you looking for a toy trumpet that feels like real and has a nice sound - you will not beat this one!

Melissa & Doug Noah's Ark Shape Sorter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The ark & animals are very colorful and my 20 month old son loves playing with the animals and naming them.
The only problem is this really is NOT a shape sorter as the animals can be put in nearly any hole just by tipping them sideways. My son rarely puts them in the "right" hole as it is so easy just to put them all in one of the holes on the top. When we do try to put them in the "right" hole it is a challenge to get them in right as there really is no good way for little fingers to hold onto them and put them squarely in the hole.
Overall, great toy, but do not buy it if you are really looking for a shape sorter.

Playfully detailed and built to last, this Wooden Noah's Ark is an educational craft that children will treasure for years. Each of the 12 pairs of smoothly shaped animals load onto the roomy boat through their matching shape cutout or through the removable cabin. All pieces store conveniently and comfortably below deck. Great for developing fine motor, matching and shape recognition skills in an entertaining and instructive way. Measures 11.5" x 9.25" x 5".
