Melissa & Doug

Toddlers and preschoolers get wooden puzzles, play food, pretend-play sets, and sticker books from Melissa & Doug. The brand’s US store lists about 1,000 items, and most are tagged for ages 3–5.

Parents who want screen-free toys for the playroom will find plenty of pretend play for little ones here. Older kids up to about age 8 get craft kits, activity books, and games.

Worth checking on the box: the age grade and any small-parts warning, since many sets include little wooden pieces. Returns from the brand’s own store need a return authorization number, and items must be new and unused.
