Melissa & Doug Wooden Workbench Gummy Lump Toy #Giveaway

imageGummy Lump is an on-line toy store, an on-line boutique high quality toy store. Many of the name brands they carry are from the top learning toy companies. They carry Alex, Crocodile Creek, Haba, and Schylling just to name a few. Last Year they generously donated a Puppet Theater to my toy drive. I’m collecting donations again this year because I feel that giving is very important for us to do. We’re very grateful for the donation last year.

imageThis year Gummy Lump sent us a Melissa & Doug Workbench and we decided it would be the perfect toy to review with Miles. To keep it though, Miles will need to go through some of his toys and help me decide what to donate the next time we do a donation. We make donations about every 3 months and this Holiday Season we will be doing another Toy Drive. Gummy Lump is a supporter of ours when it comes to charity. So we thank you Gummy Lump!

The Melissa & Doug Workbench Pretend and Play Set by Melissa & Doug usually retails for 99.99 but is currently 20.00 off of the regular price at Gummy Lump. The kids had a lot of fun with this set. Andrew put it all together, they started helping him but it was naptime before then finished. So he did the final work. He said that the quality is great and that it is quite a sturdy toy. After it was together the kids were able to enjoy it.

Not only can they pretend to play with the tools but they can build a few different items. The wooden pieces left over build an airplane, a helicopter, a robot or whatever the imagination can come up with. Miles and Zoe now know the name of all the tools and the difference between a nut and a bolt.

Melissa and Doug Lemonade Stand reversible Grocery Store #giveaway

Melissa & Doug sent us their Grocery Store/Lemonade Stand to review. The Wooden Grocery Store is 129.99 in price and immediately calls the kids attention. They weren’t even interested in the box and these kids love boxes. 

It does not come with any groceries but you can purchase all kinds of different food kits from Melissa and Doug. I’ve played with quite a few different sets that they have and all encourage creativity and learning. Your kids can learn about all of the different food groups play food, learn how to make a sandwich with the play food sandwich set, and play pizza party. We love Melissa and Doug products in my house, before I was offered this review I purchased four of their products as Christmas presents for my children and we already have a few of their developmental toys from last year too. I have been working with Melissa & Doug for a few years now. They have high quality and keep strict standards with their toys.

Installation was easy, my husband said he enjoyed putting it together because there was no screwing into wood. He didn’t have to worry about making a mistake and not being able to fix it. He used a power drill but it’s not needed. They provide everything you need to put it all together.

 

Here is a picture review of the Lemonade Stand:
