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.

User questions & answers

Question:	Have these magnets ever left scratches when used on a stainless steel refrigerator
Answer:	Yes I took them off my refrigerator because they left scratches and put them on a magnetic board.
Question:	Are the images on stickers pressed onto the wood or are they painted on
Answer:	The images are printed on paper & glued to very nice, smooth plywood with a magnet on the back. The images can be chewed off by a small child.
Question:	Do the magnets have lead in them
Answer:	I called Melissa & Doug and they verified there is no lead in any of their products (including magnets). Also, all paint is non-toxic.
Question:	is it a small magnet on the back that could come unattached, or does the magnet cover the entire backside? are they suitable for a 15 month old
Answer:	The magnet covers the entire back of animals. A 15 month old may find them fun. When you are in the kitchen, they can use them on the fridge or a metal cookie sheet. Take out the smaller animals due to choking hazard.They are made of durable wood...just in case you have a nibbler. Hope this helps :)

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the paint on the blocks non toxic? I am concerned about lead based or toxic paint because my child puts it in her mouth
Answer:	Melissa and Doug's official email responses posted by other inquiring parents neither confirm or denies but reiterates their commitment to constant testing and audit of their toys from their overseas production facilities. My main concern is their prior recalls in Canada for elevated levels of Barium which is a heavy metal. There was no recall in the US as our threshold is higher than the Canadian standard. To be fair recalls for any manufacturer across any industry are common and M&D now adheres to the stricter standard for the US as well, however, I have seen a fair amount of their toys with paint chip even after light usage. My own collection of toys for my 15 mo old have been retired as I do not want him ingesting any paint chip period. And their lack of response to my email inquiry after receiving a defective set has made me purchase other brands for my baby's toys.
Question:	What is the recommended age for this product
Answer:	I would say between 6-36 months or 6 months to 3 years. My 2 year old loves it.
Question:	Where is this product made
Answer:	In the Product Details of the page, it says, "Origin: China." I don't know if that turns you off, but it definitely helped teach my 22-month old how to say "oval," "diamond," and "hexagon." Yes, hexagon! But he spends more time making towers out of the blocks than fitting the blocks in the holes.
Question:	What is the overall size
Answer:	The size of the wooden Cube is roughly between 5 3/4 and 6 inches.The shapes are roughly between 1 1/2 to 2 inches.Hope it helps

User questions & answers

Question:	is it a 2 pack or just one board? picture shows
Answer:	It is just one board.
Question:	What age range is this recommended for
Answer:	My son is 18mo now. I got it for him when he was 14mo old. This was perfect for his age, and I have a feeling he will continue playing with this toy for at least a year. At first, he loved opening and closing the easy locks, but then learned to open the rest, and now he likes to show me where which animals are hiding and we try to learn numbers off of it. Like with any toy, he'll take a break from it for a few days/weeks, and then it starts interesting him again. So I'd say it's appropriate for ages 1 to 3 when it comes to skill development.
Question:	Are there specific names for each of the latches (my little one loves to ask "what" these days
Answer:	1. Draw latch, 2. Sash lock, 3. Cabin hook, 4. Slide Barrel Bolt, 5. Door chain, 6. Lock hasp
Question:	Will it be a good buy for a 1 year old
Answer:	i bought it for my 2.5 year old and as a gift for my 1 year old nephew. really it depends on the childs ability. My 2.5 year old can open all of them with a little effort while my nephew enjoys playing with his but not really able to open all the doors. I think it's a fabulous find though and one they will grow into for sure

Product description

Ding-dong! Fun is at the door of this sturdily-built wooden doorbell house. Featuring four electronic doorbell sounds, four unique locks with matching keys and four poseable play people, this charming cottage is sure to become a playtime destination. Plus, the keys are attached to the house so they won't get lost, and the sturdy handle allows children to take this exciting house party with them wherever they go! As they play with this house, children will also develop color, shape and number recognition skills. You can ask them to open the red door, or knock on a numbered door or let one of the figures into the door with the square number plaque. Determining which key matches which lock encourages problem-solving skills, and the 4 play people inspire infinite storytelling possibilities. Our little people house is built with a pair of attached easy-to-carry handles. This makes it a breeze to transport while traveling or visiting relatives.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why does one house have batteries and another doesnt
Answer:	Hi! Our adorable Doorbell House requires two AAA batteries. They are not included with the house, unless one of the sellers is installing the AAA batteries independently? "Ding dong...fun is calling!"
Question:	Are the keys metal? My toddler likes to stick things in outlets
Answer:	The keys are metal but they're attached to a short black cord which is attached to the top handle of the house so one doesn't lose them easily. Unless your toddler drags/carries the whole house to the outlet, I don't think it'd be a concern (at least not with our child).
Question:	Is there anyway to unlock the door besides the key?? One of our doors is faulty and the key will not work
Answer:	I'm sure you could just use a paper clip or something, they unlock pretty easily!
Question:	M&D Can you please start making multicultural figures
Answer:	They do already

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this come with a container to store the blocks in
Answer:	I looked at the fisher price farm animals - too bad they don't mention their size - the barn is probably larger, but they would definitely fit & would be cute.
Question:	Is there a chart that has pictures of things that can be built? Something that the child can try to duplicate
Answer:	I have a lot of great grandchildren and do not remember which one I gave this to. I would think a four year old would like it.
Question:	why is the 100 block set less expensive than the 60 block set
Answer:	I can't answer this question since we don't own a Melissa & Doug train track.
Question:	Could anyone provide dimensions for some of the pieces for reference, say, the largest and smallest pieces
Answer:	we have had this finely made toy for a few years, our grandchildren play with it a lot, they are 2, 4, 5. Everything is secure, no loosening after hours of play. And the use the magnet for other objects, like loading trains, doing magnetic puzzles.

Answer:	Yes, my granddaughter has the Breyer horses and they fit in this stable.
Question:	what are the horses made of? and do they come out of the stable to play with
Answer:	The horse are made of a very sturdy plastic. The stable has two doors on the back with a gold metal hook-style latch. You can easily open the "stable doors" and let the horses out to play. We've had this toy since June 2013 and it has held up very well -- my daughter plays with it constantly and has even dropped it on several occasions.

Question:	What age is this for? Isn't this too easy for a 3 year old? I have a 1.5 and a 3 year old. I thought this would be good for my little one
Answer:	It is not too easy for a 3 year old at all. It requires a lot of matching colors, teaching corners and lining up the borders. The various pictures make it fun for everyone.
Question:	Can this be too hard for a 2 yr old
Answer:	No. The first week or so may be a lot of them watching you do it but my almost 2.5 year old has mastered this. He now sits by himself and puts together each puzzle in less than 3 minutes. We are looking into the other ones so he can keep challenging himself

User questions & answers

Question:	What if the child removes more than 1 animal at d same time, which sound comes
Answer:	Yes....-ish. The beds are big enough for Calico Critters. The dining table and all chairs are a bit small. The chairs fit the babies. The dining table is more like a coffee table to the Calico Critters. The bookshelf and armoire are just fine. I would recommend this for any great addition to a doll house, however you would have to glue them together if kids were going to use them. Just dont expect the "adult" Critters to be able to relax in the chairs.
Question:	Who’s the singing voice of old Macdonald by
Answer:	I think there are directions on youtube. No directions come with this product. I still haven't found time to go online and look for the how-to. Frustrating and I can't tell you how many customers have asked the same thing. Where are the freaking directions for assembly?
Question:	When removing the piece for sheep does it sound like the singer is saying “cheap
Answer:	Sure, please contact us via email and we will send it to you right away.
Question:	Is this puzzle made with particle board instead of solid wood and have glued-on pictures like many of the other M&D puzzles
Answer:	We printed the instructions on the back cover of our package. You can follow the numbers on the instruction to finish the assembly.
