Melissa and Doug 60-Piece Standard Unit Blocks

Melissa and Doug 60-Piece Standard Unit Blocks

Every toddler and young child should have at least one wooden block set in their toy collection. The Melissa & Doug Standard Unit Blocks include 60 precision-cut, standard-shaped, solid wooden blocks that will engage your child's imagination for hours. Designed for ages three and up, these blocks feature smooth, rounded edges and are housed in a convenient, sturdy wooden storage crate.

                                           Hardwood Quality with Smooth, Rounded Edges

In these days of electronic toys, it's important not to forget the fundamentals of childhood development. Wooden blocks offer children endless ways to exercise their imagination as they improve their hand-eye coordination and gross motor skills. They also help children establish important relationships between the "part" and the "whole," and the help to provide basic lessons on engineering and gravity.

These Standard Unit Blocks feature Melissa & Doug's signature focus on simple designs, safety and utility. Each block is sanded to an ultra-smooth finish and features smooth, rounded edges so your child can play safely. The blocks are made of 100% hardwoods, with no fillers, paints, or varnishes, adding to your peace of mind.

                                           Includes Durable Wooden Storage Crate

Included in the set are all the classic wooden-block shapes that allow children's imaginations and engineering skills run wild as they build bridges, towers, houses and more. The blocks are packaged in a handsome, durable wooden storage crate that will help you keep the blocks stored in between building sessions, and help you keep them in your family for years to come. Parents should note that when the storage case is filled with all 60 blocks, it will be too heavy for younger children to carry without their help.

The crate measures 12.5 x 15 x 5.25 inches (WxLxH).




Melissa & Doug 60-Piece Standard Unit Blocks Reviews

The craftmanship and detail approaches perfection while the variety of play becomes infinite. My son (4 years) continues to astound us with his imagination and engineering feats when he builds with the "Standard Unit Blocks." This will be his second box, allowing him to expand the existing set and enjoy his play even further.

These blocks are all you could ask for--and at an unbelievable price!! These are indeed "Standard Unit Blocks". They are just like what you will find in Preschool and Kindergarten classes. The selection of sizes and shapes is very, very good for a set with only 60 blocks total. That being said, if you can afford it I would strongly recommend buying 2 sets. When youngsters start building it's a shame if they run out of building materials for their creative experiences. The quality, weight, and workmanship of these blocks is outstanding. This is surely a gift that can be passed on for generations. In this day and age of pricey toys-so many being electronic and/or requiring only "one right answer or goal" it's incredibly refreshing and truely necessary to encourage children to be creative and explore learning through active free play. I purchased 2 sets of these blocks for my 3 & 4 yr old boys. I believe that the purchase of these blocks are probably one of the most valuable "toy" choices I have and will make.

Melissa and Doug Deluxe Standing Easel  Reviews

This easel is a great buy! Very sturdy and high quality as most of mellisa and doug products. Colorful, kid friendly and easy to put together. Both the writing boards and the trays are adjustable for the height of your child. It folds up easy, but stands strong. This easel DOES have a place for a paper roll!! I did not think it did by the amazon description (I almost bought a more expensive one for the paper roll but decided to go with this and am so glad I did) ... the roll goes in the center between the boards and the paper comes up through the top and under a paper guide in front of the dry erase side. I can't image why you would spend more on another brand of easel, this one has everything I could think of wanting and is simple, solid wood, looks good and is super functional. This is the first review I have written, but wanted to pass on how happy I am with this product.


I bought this item for my 3 year old daughter and had the same problem with the chalkboard (not working so well). I call the 800 number on the back of the box and the people in customer service sent me a new chalkboard. I was amazed at how helpful they were and the desire they had to make me happy. I will buy Melissa and Doug toys for years to come.

Melissa & Doug Dinosaur Stamp Set

Melissa & Doug Dinosaur Stamp Set

Mix and match the 8-9 playfully detailed stamps to create hundreds of beautiful scenes, and then color in the pictures with the 5 colored pencils! Each themed set includes 2 colored inkpads. Ages 4+. Each set 8.75" x 8" x 2".


Stamp, color, and create your own dinosaur-dotted landscapes! When inspiration hits, this simple stamp and pencil set lets budding artists create countless colorful scenes. Some of the biggest names in Dino-dom are here: Tyrannosaurus, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Pteranodon, Ankylosaurus, Apatosaurus, and Velociraptor. Use the fiery volcano stamp to give them a landscape and then watch as these once-extinct dinosaurs multiply. The set includes five colored pencils for sketching, scribbling, or filling in the details, and two large pads of washable ink--a blessing for parents of the overzealous stamper. All of the included pieces stow neatly in the sturdy wooden storage bin with transparent lid, so artists always know what's available, and can tidy up after themselves when they're done. --Heather Lyndon 

Melissa & Doug Dinosaur Stamp Set Reviews


Was looking for an art project for one of my grandson's that could "travel".

This stamp kit is very portable, I really like the way everything packs back into it. Good choice of stamps that will provide a lot of story time for the active imagination of my grandson.


I bought this for Christmas for my 4 year old son. He has always loved dinosaurs and recently is more into painting, stamps etc. When he opened this one, he hugged it, turned around and around and was thrilled. Since then he has stamped himself many times and used them in art projects. I think he will use it for some time. It is a great addition to any art/crafts collection. He is so happy with it. I like that it is made of wood, sturdy, durable and I can obviously get more stamp color pads to use if I buy them (it comes with two). The only thing I can think of that is negative is that the box itself doesn't have a lid to close so the stamps, pencils and ink pads fall out easily if moved from the back (lying down) position. The stamp pad does have a lid so that is not a problem if it falls out. The dinosaur stamps that have fresh ink on it could get ink on the surface, so use newspaper or other cloth under it when in use. I'd recommend lightly cleaning the stamps after use though you probably do not have to do this. Educational wise it is not high in my rating on its own, but if you have a good dinasour teaching book to go along with it, it would teach your child about the different ones tha are on the stamps and make it more educational. This was a great buy and I would recommend this product because of it's quality construction. Kids who love dinosaurs and stamps will love it probably up to 10 years old.

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Happy Handle Stamp Set

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Happy Handle Stamp Set

Mix and match these detailed, wooden stamps to create hundreds of beautiful scenes and more. Sets include color stamp pads and conveniently store in a wooden box. Washable, non-toxic inks. 

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Happy Handle Stamp Set   Reviews


I love Melissa & Doug products, all of them! This is a great, sturdy little stamp set with washable ink (though I wouldn't test it on an expensive outfit). It does wash off of table tops and skin, however.

The handles are a nice, solid wood and the stamps are very well made, they'll last many years with care. The ink is bright. My daughter really enjoys this set just as she's enjoyed the puzzles, dollhouse, playfood, etc. we've gotten her made by Melissa & Doug over the years. 


The handle make these the best stamps ever. Really easy for my son to use. I wish the colors had their own lids though.... because he would have only given him one color at a time. He has already stamped a green happy face across all the colors.

 Melissa & Doug Friendship Stamp Set    Reviews

We gave this to our 3-year-old for Christmas. She LOVES it. She spends a lot of time stamping paper and then coloring in the pictures she makes. It's made of wood and very sturdy. It also comes with colored pencils and two stamp pads of different colors, which is nice. We are very pleased with this stamp set.

We bought this for our 3 1/2 year old daughter and she loves it! She really likes to create cards for people and this set allows her to decorate them however she wants. The stamp selection is good without being overwhelming and she enjoys using the colored pencils to color in her designs. The only drawback is that the stamp pad ink isn't very vibrant, so sometimes it's hard to see the designs. It's not such a big deal since you can purchase stamp pads just about anywhere anyway. Overall, it's another great product from Melissa & Doug.
