Product description

A beloved classic toy gets an exciting new twist with this deluxe pounding bench. As the colorful, non-removable pegs on the bench go up and down, they play peekaboo, taking turns showing their friendly smiles while the child has fun practicing fine motor skills. And you’ll enjoy that because the pegs are attached, they can’t get lost. A sturdy wooden mallet is included. Children delight in striking a peg with the mallet and watching one on the opposite side pop up. Once kids have seen this cause-and-effect in action, they will enjoy predicting which peg will pop up next. As they develop hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills, they will also be learning numbers and colors by counting the pegs and naming each color as it pops up. The Melissa & Doug Deluxe Pounding Bench Wooden Toy makes a great gift for kids 2 to 4 years. This product measures 5.25" H x 10" L x 5" W and includes a sturdy wooden mallet. Add the Melissa & Doug Wooden Latches Board to round out the developmental play and learning experience. For more than 30 years, Melissa & Doug has created beautifully designed imagination- and creativity-sparking products that NBC News called “the gold standard in early childhood play.” Today, Melissa & Doug is proudly partnering with the American Academy of Pediatrics to foster early brain development and help children build important life skills through play.

Product description

Build them up and knock them down--14 soft blocks combine in endless creative combinations . . . and topple with a gentle bounce that makes them safest for little ones. Match & Build Blocks can build much more than towers, too: This colorful soft-block set helps develop motor skills, logical connections, creativity, and more, so it grows along with a child, helping build key developmental skills along the way. Kid-friendly artwork on the coordinating cubes encourages matching activities (numerals with quantities, animal heads and tails, and everyday shapes), puzzling (complete the picture of a Ferris wheel!), and even sequential thinking and storytelling with before-and-after flaps on three of the blocks. With unlimited open-ended opportunities for learning and play, kids can also create their own sorting games and creative combinations--and of course, the 14 soft blocks make a terrific tower, castle, boat, or rocket ship! Melissa & Doug K's Kids toys nurture early childhood development in three key skill areas: physical, cognitive, and social. With interactive designs and multisensory features, K's Kids promotes constructive play and effortless learning, keeping interest high and new skills flourishing throughout the baby and toddler years!

• Soft block set for babies and toddlers
• Matching activities pair numerals and quantities, animal halves, and everyday shapes.
• Soft, lightweight pieces are easy for young children to lift and manipulate.
• Part of Melissa & Doug K's Kids toys for babies and toddlers
• Develops these skills: sensory, fine motor, gross motor, logical, creative, linguistic, communication, and self-esteem.

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the dimensions of the blocks? I'd love to know how big they are
Answer:	They are soft and easy to stack, as long as you teach your child to put the flap part on its side. Not all cubes have flaps. If the flaps are on top it can be bumpy, and the tower will collapse easily. There are other things to do with these harmless "blocks". The flaps are good for teaching cause and effect. (Example of and effect: Seeing an apple core under the flap.) There are cute puzzle pairs on all sides of the cubes that have a matching piece on another cube.
Question:	are they machine washable
Answer:	Yes. It does say Made in China
Question:	Are these easy to stack
Answer:	No ... I dont think the strapes are long enough, and Im not that keen on the toy to begin with ... My g"daughter doesnt even play with it lol ...
Question:	Where is it made? China
Answer:	Hi and thank you for your question. In that case you have to turn it on (possibly on the lower volume) and then when the baby touches it, the toy will make sound and lights. I used this myself just like you describe with my baby to get that extra time in the morning. Every minute counts! Let me know if you have more questions.

Build Them Up, and Knock Them Down

These 14 soft, fabric-covered blocks are stackable, matchable, washable, and safely bounce when they are knocked down! Small hands can easily manipulate the 10 soft cubes and four felt-covered triangles. Bright colors encourage reaching and grasping, and soft textures engage the senses. These are also great for fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. The kid-friendly artwork coordinates to develop matching and counting skills with numerals and quantities (like the number 10 and 10 butterflies), animal heads and tails (put together a panda, a zebra, or an alligator), and fronts and backs of vehicles like an ambulance and a school bus. Some blocks have before-and-after flaps that tell mini stories and help kids learn to make predictions. These sequencing and pattern games help with cognitive development. There’s even a way to arrange the blocks so they complete a picture puzzle. Toddlers build communication skills and self-esteem as they build picture puzzles and tell stories with the coordinating illustrations. Preschoolers will continue to love playing with these blocks, creating and knocking down shapes and towers, castles, boats, and rocket ships, while building their own gross motor skills and creativity. They help build key developmental skills and also provide unlimited, open-ended opportunities for learning and play, as kids can also create their own sorting games and creative combinations. This toy is part of Melissa & Doug K's Kids toys for babies and toddlers, all of which nurture early childhood development in three key skill areas: physical, cognitive, and social. With interactive designs and multisensory features, K's Kids promotes constructive play and effortless learning, keeping interest high and new skills flourishing throughout the baby and toddler years!

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it have 2 books in it or one? The images show 2 books
Answer:	Hidden in a Velcro enclosure at the bottom of the “pig” side. Takes 2 AAA batteries.
Question:	Does this go in the dryer
Answer:	There's a spot to open it up and a sound box inside with an on/off switch.
Question:	Are there any activities like zipping or buttoning? Or just flaps to lift
Answer:	The dimensions of the cube are approximately 9 x 8 x 8 inches. Be aware that the buttons that need to be pressed to play the music and sounds are hard to press for little fingers. Also - the animal sounds leave a lot to be desired. I was disappointed with the product but my now 8 month old granddaughter loves it (she's had it since 5 months) so that's what matters!
Question:	Is this made in usa
Answer:	Check on Amazon for the toy, may tell...

Answer:	I don’t make them but on the site scan down the page under product information see what it says I don’t think so it’s solid wood
Question:	Are the blocks made of plastic or wood
Answer:	We received this as a present two months ago, and I had the same reaction to the smell. We have other puzzles from this brand, and they do not smell like that.

Question:	my melissa and doug pelican doesn't stand up like the picture. he's slumped over, its difficult to play a game w/ your 9mo old that way. suggestions

User questions & answers

Question:	Are the gears made of wood or plastic
Answer:	You are correct :-) - the 4 cute sea creatures are a crinkly shrimp, a squeaking octopus, a rattling fish and a crab
Question:	Is it possible yo buy replacement pegs? My 18 month old loves this toy. It is how she learned her colors, but recently we lost yellow
Answer:	It is not a puppet, as in you cannot place your hand inside the animal to make its mouth move. The idea is that you or the child will lift the pelican's mouth (by lifting the upper beak flap from the outside), and then the child can place the other items into the pelican's mouth. The toy will fall down into its stomach, which you can see is open on the front so you can simply take it back out again.
Question:	What age is it for
Answer:	No, the toys that go in it are. It's probably a foot to eighteen inches tall.
Question:	Do the gears come off easily? Doesn't that make operating them difficult for little ones
Answer:	Yes the picture is very misleading. I used the straps to tie it at the top of the leg of a heavy living room upholstered chair. Works pretty well.

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the dimensions of the box
Answer:	The toy is 15 inches high, 15 inches long, and 12 inches wide. Perfect size for a toddler. Hope this helps.
Question:	Will this work well on wood floors? Will it damage wood floors
Answer:	We have wood floors also. Works great. Wheels have a rubber strip around them to prevent scratching the floor.
Question:	is it a decent weight? meaning if my baby wobbles and loses his balance he can use it to regain it
Answer:	I bought it for a friend of mine. Her son's 1st birthday. She said it's his favorite and sturdy. He started to walk at 13m old. With that said, I've seen a multitude of parents blaming a toy for being inept, when in fact their child just couldn't walk well, which wobbly walking is normal. My son used something similar, but started walking about 9 months old. Long story short....depends on the child and how willing the parents are to not place blame.
Question:	Can a child's fingers get pinched in the aligators' jaws
Answer:	I suppose they could, but the alligators' mouths open and close slowly with a little space between them. It would be difficult for them to get their fingers pinched or caught in there.

User questions & answers

Question:	My daughter will try to put this in her mouth so is this product bpa and phthalate free
Answer:	I am sorry, I purchased this for my 1st grade classroom last year. I don't have the package anymore.
Question:	What do the food containers have? Are they empty? Also are the bottles half filled at least
Answer:	the food containers are empty; they have a small hole in them in the bottom (could even be played with in the bathtub, I guess). The bottles are half filled (seems like just liquid in between two layers of plastic bottle). Both my girls enjoy the set, but I will say the bib didn't fit well around their babies necks (too small). I ended up getting a few used bibs from the local thrift shop.
Question:	Is this too small for an 18" doll
Answer:	It is on the small side. Probably better suited for 12- 15 in. Baby doll.
Question:	age level
Answer:	I gave them to my daughter at age 3. She is now 4 1/2 and just really started to play dolls and use them.
