Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Furnished Dollhouse Review

Melissa and Doug Deluxe Wooden Furnished Dollhouse
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It was a great value, to be able to get all the dolls, furniture and the house for such a great price. We got it for our daughter last year for Christmas. However, we are buying a new one for her for this year!
The doll house is really hard to play with. Having a semi-closed front makes it hard to "get into" the house. I find that it is hard for my kids to get the dolls into the setting positions and to place them on the couches and chairs without knocking other furniture items over. It is hard to move dolls from one room to the other. It is also hard for more than one child to play with it at a time. Seeing how they play with other doll houses, it appears that a doll house that is open in the fount is a much better design.
An open front doll house allows the kids to easily reach all the rooms. Also, it facilitates more than one child playing at a time (not to mention a grown-up's bigger hand). Also, an open face design takes up less space. You can push it against the wall and have only a small amount of space on either side for the dolls to "play outside". With this doll house, you need to have lots of room on either side of the doll house so kids can sit/lay down to reach into the side rooms.
I love Melissa & Doug toys, but i really wish they made this same doll house with an open front design.

My daughter got this for her third birthday. She's had a lot of fun with it so far. I would recommend it for a younger child though, just starting with the concept of dress-up. The same quality you would expect from Melissa and Doug products.

Liv After School Cool Daniela Review

Liv After School Cool Daniela
Average Reviews:

[B-52s song started playing in my head and refused to quit as our girl was demonstrating Daniela's wig feature. There is an actual wig 'instruction guide' in the box.]
"The best part of my day is when I get to play the drums at band practice" says Daniela, or so she is quoted on the package. There is no drum set in the box though. It's only Daniela and her hairbrush.
Daniela is an articulated 12-inch doll who wears a wig. Her ankles, knees, hips, waist, wrists, elbows, shoulders and neck and twist and bend to the extent that her clothing allows it. Like her wig, her clothes can be replaced but there is only one set of clothes in the box, the ones she's wearing. She appears to be 16-18 years old.
If your girl gets Daniela as a gift she can go to the 'Liv' web site where she can find many accessories such as drums, wigs and fashions as well as other Liv dolls that can be purchased.
Liv dolls are heavily advertised on kids shows and our girl asked for Daniela specifically so, not surprisingly, she likes it. She does find the wig option 'creepy'. When the wig goes off Daniela appears to have very short 'real' hair, painted on her skull. Our girl does not like it and she told me that she will not take off her wig again.
Made in China.
Our girl 'likes' Daniela but she clearly does not 'love' her. Therefore, this toy gets 4 stars.

Melissa and Doug Fold and Go Princess Castle Review

Melissa and Doug Fold and Go Princess Castle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have the boy version which is grey instead of pink, but other than the color of the house, furniture and dolls, it is the same thing. We bought this for my son for his 4th birthday, after seeing one on display at the local toy store. He hasn't yet played with it,as his birthday is not for one more week, but I have opened the box, and looked at all the peices and they are very well made. I let my 7 yr old daughter play with it before I re wrapped it up, and she thought it was wonderful. I love that it is so small, and portable. My son tends to like to play mostly in the living room, and I didnt want some giant thing that would be confined to his bedroom b/c of its size, and left unplayed with. If he really gets in to it , I would consider a larger one in the future, but I think for a four year old this is a perfect size, and price. Also, the larger castles don't tend to come with any people or furniture. I liked that for such a low price, this castle comes with four people,2 horses, plus furntiture. The people, and horses alone I believe are sold seperately for $ [...]. I also appreciate that this toy doesn't not make any sounds, and does not light up. It does have a drawbridge door that works, as well as a jail that has a door which goes up and down. I think this will encourage my son to use his imagination.

I got a few of the Liv Dolls for my daughter for Christmas. She seemed to really enjoy them. I thought they were kind of strange though because you can remove their hair. Maybe I'm just 'old school' though and am use to Barbies ;)

Educo Gourmet Chef Cookware Review

We actually purchased this cookware in a set including Educo Gourmet Chef Cuisine and Educo Gourmet Chef Kitchen.
The kitchen has slots for storing a few utensils and the plates, as well as a towel rack for the towel.
The frying pan (4.25" diameter) and stock pot (4.5" diameter) have an interchangeable lid. They are made of plywood.
The salt and pepper shakers (2.5" x 1.5") each have beads inside them that make a pleasant shaking sound when they are used.
The plates, also plywood, are 4.5" diameter.
The forks and knives measure 5", while the spatula and serving spoon measure 7".
The towel is vivid orange terry and reminds me of a baby washcloth.
All of the items are made of smooth, unfinished wood that is pleasing to the touch. The sizing seems appropriate for preschool play - not too big or small. The colors are stains, rather than paint, which I like. Nothing to chip off, and thus less chance for unknown substances in little tummies.
According to the Hape site, all the stains are imported to the China factory from Germany, the woods from Russia, and so one might hope that this would mean better safety standards, despite being manufactured in China.
All told this is a fine cooking set, seems to be relatively safe, and does not contain any pieces that would be choking hazards.

Cookware, dinnerware and silverware in natural wood with orange water-based paint are the perfect grouping to get a young cook started. A salt and pepper shaker set - both sound lik eth ereal thing! - and towel make this a compete kitchen starter set.

i purchased this for Christmas so paid not so much ($4.99) this is a classic Liv doll. it does only come with exactly what is seen, the doll and her clothes. the doll is great. the set in eyes, movable body parts are all good. although is does not come with an additional wig like some of the other Liv dolls come with; the hair she is wearing can come off and a different wig can be placed on her.

Melissa & Doug Abby & Emma Deluxe Magnetic Dress-Up Review

Now, if you're going to create a cool toy like this, why wouldn't you provide a lid on the box so people can store it properly?
My 2-year-old daughter loves this set-- so much that I bought another one, too. The dolls are colorful and fun for her, and she pulls this out to play with it almost every day.
The lack of a lid is a real problem, because the pieces are all over my house since there is no good way to store it, and the small pieces are a secondary problem. My daughter doesn't stick them in her mouth, so I'm not very concerned about choking, but it's just very easy to lose the little pieces.
I see no reason why this couldn't have been designed with two shoes on one longer block, for example, or with shoes sticking out from under the skirt, so there wouldn't be so many little pieces. Especially because then the company could remove the warning that it's not for kids under 3, when it's clear from the reviewers here that 2-year-olds are using these dolls plenty.

Melissa & Doug Fold and Go Mini Dollhouse Review

I bought this for my daughter's 2nd birthday. She's a little young, but really enjoys pretend play. The dollhouse is excellently made and seems to be very durable. The colors are great and not to bright and gaudy like some girls toys, just a pretty pink. The little people that come with it seem to be very durable too, they have the wire bendy bodies but do not seem like they will be easy to break or break at all. The furniture is the perfect size for little hands and has all of the basic things that you would want to come in this little set. The other great thing about this dollhouse is its size. We don't have a whole lot of room in our house and I really wanted my daughter to be able to bring her dollhouse out of her room and play in the living room where everyone else is. With this dollhouse she can carry it about, it's a bit heavy for her right now but doable. If you buy this dollhouse you will not be disappointed!!
