When my oldest got this as a present when she turned one I wasn’t sure how much she would be able to use it. I was proven wrong quickly - she used it endlessly. We’ve even had to get a second set after the first 5 years of continuous play!
Scoop & Serve Ice Cream Counter
I have a Mickey & Minnie Mouse lover who also love love loves dramatic play. This was a HUGE hit for her last birthday. The pieces are also big enough that our smallest can play too.
Melissa & Doug Disney Snacks & Popcorn Wooden Play Food Set - 24pc
Our kiddos actually have more than one of these. They are fantastic to bring on road trips because they're pretty easily contained AND they have magnetic tops.
Melissa & Doug Scoop & Serve Ice Cream Set
One of the things I love about Melissa & Doug toys in general is how well they hold up. We've had this set in our house for several years and they are still in pretty darn good condition. Our kids love having this set to compliment their pretend ...
Melissa & Doug Dust! Sweep! Mop! 6pc Wooden Pretend Play Preschool Cleaning Set
We absolutely do not have all the pieces for this and my kiddos have done a number on the velcro portions, but they still love it! They've played with and loved on this set for about 5 years. I anticipate we will get a refreshed set in the next year ...
Melissa & Doug Slice & Stack Wooden Sandwich Counter with Deli Slicer Pretend Play Food - 56pc
If you have small ones that are anything like mine, you will be in constant need of bandages/bandaids. This kit alone has helped cut down on our bandage usage.
Melissa & Doug Boo-Boos & Bandages Reusable First Aid Pretend Play Set
I get a kick out of seeing my kiddos use this kit. I don't ever remember being so excited to "clean" - I am rarely excited to clean now as an adult! This is a fan favorite in our home - there's often an argument over who gets to use the spray bottle.
Melissa & Doug Spray, Squirt & Squeegee Play Set - Pretend Play Cleaning Set
Anytime is cookie time! This is another set that is easily contained, easily transported, and so much fun for kiddos. My oldest two love to mix and match the "flavors" and are frequently found "baking".

My kids have spent hours and hours shopping and working at the store.

The perfect soft play for teeny tiny's to feel like they fit in with the bigger kids. To be fair - my big kids also love this set. So many textures and sounds - it keeps my babies busy for sure!
Melissa & Doug Multi-Sensory Market Basket Fill & Spill Infant Toy
These are such a fun shape and clean up quick. All my kiddos love them - and it’s nice to toss them in the top rack of the dishwasher.
Silicone Cup Stacker - 7pc - Gigglescape™: Baby Stacking Toys, Creativity & Fine Motor Skills, 6 Months+
All sorts of textures and colors! One of my favorite things about Melissa and Doug is that it so frequently comes with a container.
Melissa & Doug Multi-Sensory Soft Taco Fill & Spill Infant Toy
A fan favorite in our house! All my kids get a kick out of it. The songs are pretty short and it’s just a tune so nothing to get stuck in your head.
Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Stream & Learn Remote
I have no idea who gave this to us, but we got it with our first nearly 7 years ago and it has stayed in our home since! We have three kiddos now and each one has live laugh loved this toy.
