Powered by Mom Blog & Daughter review some more fun stuff from Melissa & Doug!

Just in time for summer we received some more cool stuff from Melissa and Doug to keep me busy I mean my daughter busy during the Summer. We received some cool craft stuff for those days where the weather is not so great or we just feel like hanging out!

My daughter absolutely loves the scratch glitter paper from Melissa and Doug so this time we got a few different ones, we have silver, pink and gold! If you don’t know what that paper is you’re missing out it’s tons of of fun. The paper is black but when you take a pencil and start to draw or write on the paper it reveals your creating in the glitter color that’s underneath so much fun!

As you can see from the picture above we selected the Deluxe Holographic kit that has a variety of scratch glitter paper along with some stencils you can use on the paper, it’s a lot of fun and can be used for almost all ages. In addition my daughter selected decorate your own piggy banks, one is a cute little pig which she’s already decorated blue along with a few other colors and a cupcake bank that she’s going to give to a friend for her upcoming birthday.

She also received a door hanger sign that she customized with her name on it so now it hangs on her bedroom door and there’s no mistaking whose bedroom that is lol. We’re also going to give doing some origami a try as we received some origami paper with instructions on how to create some figures, this should be interesting but hey why not it’s something new to try.

My daughter also received this very big dragon, at least I think it’s big but I have to say it’s very well made and all the children who come over seem to be drawn to it, it’s colorful and fun to look at and hey it’s a dragon lol. As you can see by the 2nd picture with the little boy it’s a good sized dragon!

    My niece is very much into arts and crafts so I’m sure she’d like the scratch art too. I sometimes forget that Melissa and Doug have things for kids that aren’t just toddler toys, lol It’s good to know, as I do like Melissa and Doug products alot! (Just ordered 75.00 of play food from them, for my great niece’s kitchen, hehehe) Thank you for the review!

    I had no idea that Melissa and Doug made scratch off glitter paper. Anything with glitter on it is banned in my house simply because the clean up of it is horrendous! BUT I would definitely try out their glitter paper since it is made my Melissa and Doug I know it is made very well and the glitter has little to no chance of making a huge mess! 😀

    These look like some great products!! I think the scratch off paper would be popular with boys or girls from younger to older. That dragon is great!! The colors on it are so bright and not many kids have a dragon stuffed animal! I think Melissa and Doug have really great products!! Thanks for the review!

    I like that Melissa & Doug have something for kids of every age, and for a variety of interests. My daughter was given a wooden snake toy as a hand-me-down, and we discovered it was a Melissa & Doug! She loves that toy!

    How awesome!! My daycare kiddos would love those Decorate Your Own Piggy Bank’s. I am thinking that they would be wonderful Christmas presents. I know, it’s early for Christmas but I have a lot of daycare kiddos to buy for.

    I have always loved Melissa & Doug toys for myself and my child. I remember playing with some of these toys years ago. The toys are always made very well and are always safe. I especially love their puzzles, clocks and play food items. My son really loves their tools and trains. They have a great variety of products for any age and any child. Plus these toys last forever, so you can pass them on to others once you are finished with them.

    I don’t know how they do it, but Melissa and Doug have always had the best, quality toys for kids, and are great for stimulating their imaginations. I know that if I pick a M&D toy for a gift, it will be a hit.

    Well, my granddaughter wouldn’t be interested in the dragons but she loves to do crafts!! The Deluxe Holographic Kit is awesome looking and looks like it can be played for a long time. I do think it looks too old though for my 2 year old granddaughter. I would of loved to see the door hanger that you were talking about on this blog. I love Melissa and Doug products!!
