Melissa & Doug toys have been part of our life since Max was a baby. They've been integral to his growth—and enjoyment. His occupational therapists have regularly recommended them (see: 7 ways to encourage play for kids with special needs). They're engaging, creative, fun and great quality; ours have lasted for years. So I'm thrilled to partner with them for a giveaway.
In case you haven't yet seen it, Melissa & Doug have a Toys for Special Needs catalog. The collection was chosen by consultant Melissa Ligouri, Ed.D., a psychologist and educational consultant. You can search toys by need—Social & Emotional, Oral Motor Skills, Gross Motor Skills, Fine Motor Skills, Cognitive Skills, Speech & Language, Life Skills, Sensory Awareness and last (but not least!) Picky Eater. Someday, wouldn't it be great if parents could also search toys by "Most likely to occupy your child while you make dinner"? Ha ha ha!
Some of Max's favorites:
Both kids have gotten approximately a gazillion hours of use out of this easel. It has a dry-erase board on one side and a chalkboard on the other, so there is plenty of room to repeatedly write, say, "Max loves purple!" There's also a paper-roll holder, a kid-safe paper cutter, grip clips and plastic trays with holders for supplies. Ours has stood the test of time—as in, it is still standing after years of use. And in good shape.
This is one of those toys that's so much fun, your kid won't have a clue it's great occupational therapy. The seven pieces of fruit have Velcro on the ends so kids can "cut" them into a total of seventeen slices. At first, I'd hold my hand over Max's; eventually, he learned to hold the knife and cut them on his own. I wrap the knife with molding clay to make it even easier to hold. Although this does not teach your child to prepare three-course meals for you, it is still awesome.
Jumbo Triangular Crayons
These are grasp-able by kids who otherwise can't get a grip on skinny crayons; their shape means they won't roll away; and they're made of plastic (not wax) so they really, really last. Win, win, win!
Play Money Set
This is one seriously realistic money set, with $1, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 paper bills and coins in various denominations. I've used it better help both kids understand the meaning of money, and they like playing "store" with it. Max gets a kick out of offering me $100 so he doesn't have to take a bath.
Vehicles Maze Puzzle
It's great for hand-eye coordination and fine-motor skills. There are nine pieces that slide around tracks—and they're attached, so they will not get lost in the wilds of your playroom.

Sort & Snap Color Match
This comes with ten reversible picture cards; kids snap the color caps into holes on the picture side. The reverse sides have pictures in black and white, so kids can create their own patterns and decides. This is great for teaching colors, sorting, beginning math, and encouraging pincer grasps and focus.

We have the cutting veggies set (which I adore) and the cupcake set (not my favorite, markers included to draw on the cupcakes for icing and despite me hiding them, they keep re-appearing!). We also have Leo the Lion and a ton of puzzles.
ReplyDeleteI love their magnetic "paper dolls" as well!
ReplyDeleteWe love the "sound" puzzles. Great for blind and VI kids!
ReplyDeleteThe cutting veggies are great. My favorite memory is a time when my husband had on pants with holes in the knees. Some friends' kids were cutting the foods up and then, along with some play bread slices, putting them in the holes and saying, 'look we are putting them in the toaster!"
ReplyDeleteShannon....
DeleteYour story!! Crack. Me. Up!! ;-D

We only have puzzles from Melissa and Doug for my 2 year old but we are looking to expand her collection to assist with her motor skills.
ReplyDeleteI use Melissa and Doug toys all of the time to teach imaginary play skills to my clients-and they are amazing for kids who are working on their fine motor skills! I have the cut-up food set, the play money, the latches puzzles, and the kitchen accessories and food!
ReplyDeletei LOVE melissa & doug. in our house the wooden pizza, the fishing puzzle with the little magnet pole, and the the pattern/tangrams puzzles have been HUUUUUUGE. and the dress-up wooden "paper" dolls! and the geometric stacking toy! (which we still have for when babies come to visit -- it's in as good shape now as when i bought it USED twelve years ago.) uh, ok, FINE, we have a ton of melissa & doug stuff! DON'T JUDGE ME. it's a great brand.
ReplyDeleteMarjorie....
Delete"Uh, ok, FINE, we have a ton of Melissa & Doug stuff! DON'T JUDGE ME. It's a great brand.". I can't but agree!! No judging here!! ;)
--Raelyn
I will enter but hope the nice folks there don't read my post about how Melissa and Doug may appear to be friendly folk but I did not enjoy the emergency truck puzzle with sound that often made me think (as I went naked through the house to assist an unhappy or sick child) that police were in my living room. I don't know how a naked person (apparently my white butt reflects a lot of ambient light?) triggers the sound of a siren but it does, so that puzzle was evicted and finished its life in my garage, where the sirens were less annoying than at 2am in my living room, where I hope police and fire never make an appearance. Love the food, though, really.
ReplyDeleteGinger....
DeleteI think that you are entitled to your opinions!! And that is a pretty hilarious story!! ;-D
--Raelyn

DeleteLOL!! My little girl had one of those and I passed it on to someone else (that I didn't like very much) because of it's random moments of making noises!

ReplyDeletewe'd love to have the standard unit blocks. my daughter has some awesome soft plastic blocks, but now that she's older and not likely to be hurt by falling towers, we'd love for her to have a quality wooden block that is sturdier and easier to stack and build with.

I have been wanting the latches board for a while, my local store ran out of them.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a parent- but I do work at a toystore that works closely with M&D. When a parent comes in looking for toys for a child with special needs, I always like to recommend their stuff (I've been known to sneak 'em in under the radar on my employee discount- like you said in your post about the $30 spoons, the last thing you guys need is to get hosed by a huge markup on stuff like toys).
ReplyDeleteOh! And if you're looking for even more uses for the M&D stuff, I've found a number of people have great success teaching math using the cutting fruit set.
I am definately going to order some triangle crayons. My little one needs them and I can't wait to test the durability
ReplyDeleteI am a huge fan of Melissa and Doug wooden puzzles. My daughter particularly likes the one with "fishing poles."
ReplyDeleteMy son would love to have the Art Easel. He loves to draw, color and paint. I have really been wanting to get him one. I like that Melissa & Doug addresses toys that are best for different special needs situations. That is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWe love Melissa & Doug toys... and it's not just because my first name is Melissa! Thanks Ellen - I had no idea that there was a Special Needs catalog. I will have to pour over that before someone's birthday this year... which is coming up!
ReplyDeleteI love their doll houses! Gender neutral and durable? Yes please!
ReplyDeleteWe love M&D puzzles
ReplyDeleteWe love the Melissa and Doug puzzles. As a mother and teacher I find them beneficial to my children's motor skills.
ReplyDeleteWe have had four of the floor puzzles. The ABC train taught my son the abcs. Melissa nd Doug make the best products.
ReplyDeleteWe love so many things from Melissa & Doug - big stuffed animals (we have the dragon and the big yellow lab), their awesome puzzles, play food, and more.
ReplyDeleteMy son had to have the dog - which many of my daughter's nurses have thought was real!
The very first Melissa & Doug toy we bought for our daughter is a wooden block train. She likes stacking the blocks on it and I will be using it to teach her colors. Our favorite M&D toy is a big wooden castle dollhouse she got for Christmas from her uncle.
ReplyDeletelove the puzzles, and would love to get some more!
ReplyDeleteMy children have loved Melissa and Doug products for years. I'd love to in some for my grandson!
ReplyDeleteMy kids like to play with the cookie set and the cutting foods set during pretend play in their kitchen.

ReplyDeleteWe have always loved Melissa and Doug products. Our current favs are puzzels!
ReplyDeleteWe love ALL Melissa & Doug toys, but a top favourite around my house are the food sets, especially the sugar cookies!! So fun, great for imaginations and they last forever!
ReplyDeleteI've heard great things about Melissa and Doug toys, as a mother to be I look forward to my child playing with his own!
ReplyDeleteI like the Cook's Corner Wooden Play Kitchen. This would be great for our daughter because she loves watching us cook.
ReplyDeleteLove the easel to work on upper extremity and core stability in a really fun way- kids love writing on the board! Love the puzzles too- especially the farm animals that give sound feedback when the puzzle piece is placed correctly.
ReplyDeleteI was first introduced to Melissa and Doug through gifts from family (my son's first gift was a puzzle set). Other examples of why we enjoy playing with their products:
ReplyDeleteWhen I babysit my niece and nephew, we pull out the food set and "pretend" to have a picnic outside--coming up with all kinds of goofy food names (and of course producing a bunch of giggles).
When my son turned 2, I realized how much he loved magnets so I bought an alphabet set and made a magnet board in his room to reinforce learning. I blogged about how much he loves it (and I smile when I hear him attempt each letter). I hope to use more of their magnets to teach numbers and life skills to him in the future.
I like the easel.
ReplyDeleteWe bought the latches board today. We have a few chunky puzzles, the animals rescue shape-sorter truck, the gear caterpillar, and many other toys that my LO LOVES!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try their cutting fruit set and sushi set. They looks so cute. M&D is amazing.

ReplyDeleteI love Melissa & Doug wooden puzzles. Stood the test of time with three kids, then I was able to consign them!
ReplyDeleteAlso love the weather magnet board, chore magnet board, and I think we had one other that was a monthly seasonal calendar. The BEST part was that the calendar last for all 3 of my kids as I was able to call M&D and ask for extra year magnets (2013, 2014, etc.).
We have a set of wooden "cuttable" food that is over a decade old that is still loved by my younger kids and my babysitting charges!
ReplyDeleteWe love so many of their toys. magnetic dolls, coloring pages, mini shopping cart, chore board. oh so many!
ReplyDeleteWe love the large wooden shape puzzle!
ReplyDeleteI think the M&D clock is the best one available for teaching time.
ReplyDeleteWe have the "cookie" set. My SN son can set them on the pan on the Velcro and they won't fall off so that he won't get so frustrating. Love Melissa and Doug and all their high quality products!

ReplyDeleteOh one that we have and LOVE is the Big Rig Building Truck Wooden Play Set! It is so great for Carters hand coordination and really gets him imagination going!
ReplyDeleteWe have many Melissa and Doug toys and love the easel and whittle world school bus set most! They help teach imaginative play and the easel let's my son get creative while painting. We also have mini lessons on the easel.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Melissa and Doug toys - we have many, and there are so many more I would love to get!!! One of my favorites is the latches board, but the play kitchen is probably the one that is in heaviest use at the moment!

ReplyDeleteWe (and all of our son's therapists) love Melissa & Doug products!
ReplyDeleteI adore Melissa & Doug products. I'm a graduate student intern and will soon (in 9 weeks!) graduate with my degree in speech-language pathology. I use these toys so much at my current clinic but will soon be leaving to be on my own. I've been trying to stockpile therapy materials and games but, being a broke grad student, have had to limit my purchase of Melissa & Doug. This giveaway would be such a wonderful graduation gift and a way to continue helping my kiddos that need speech therapy services!
ReplyDeleteMelissa & Doug toys have helped my son learn valuable skills through play! We love them!
ReplyDeleteMy 12 month old recently was diagnosed with CP. I happened to come across your blog on pinterest and am so glad I did. It's exciting to see that there are toys geared towards universal design and Melissa and Doug seems like an amazing company! I think my son would love the car puzzle you showed above.
ReplyDeletewe love the Melissa and Doug Easel we have. We would love to get one for our church. Thanks for the chance. We love the compartments for the paints and that it is also a chalkboard on one side and dry erase board on the other.

Yes please! We have too many Melissa & Doug toys to count! I really like the spelling puzzles, which are a kit of wooden cut-out words and letter pieces that you use to fill them in. I've got my eye on that money set :) -Dana
ReplyDeleteWonderful products. We love the magnetic paper dolls especially!
ReplyDeleteMy son has used so many Melissa & Doug toys to help him play and learn. The cutting fruit and floor puzzles are family favorites. One of my son's is not able to walk on his own and not thrilled with a gait trainer, but at therapy when he gets that little metal shopping cart in front of him he loves to move and pretend shop. Would love one of our own. Thank you for all the innovative ways to play and develop!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has the Stack & Sort Board and plays with it every single day. I love that it is small and silent and teaches colors, shapes, counting and coordination.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter loves all of the Melissa and Doug play food. I think her favorite is the magnetic condiment bottle set. I like that they are wooden, so they will last forever and not just break apart in a few months.
ReplyDeleteWe love the sports floor puzzles that Melissa & Doug offers & I'd love to have one of their Deluxe Wooden Standing Art Easel for my grandson to enjoy & be creative. thanks
