Melissa & Doug

I don't know what it is about Melissa & Doug toys that I love so much. I think it is mostly that they are so classic and simple and also so high quality. And kids LOVE them. They are pretty reasonably priced too.

Gavin received 2 of their wooden puzzles, as well as the rainbow stacker as baby gifts.

Then for Christmas we decided to get him the Alphabet nesting & stacking blocks and they were a BIG hit! He loves to build towers and knock them over and could do this endlessly!

Now for his birthday we are planning to buy him the Deluxe jumbo cardboard blocks. I'm sure he will have lots of fun building ever bigger towers and whatever else he decides to do with them.

I was looking online to find out where would be the best place for me to buy these blocks from. During my browsing, I came across a bunch of toys that are designed to helping children practice their fine motor skills. I instantly thought of how perfect it would be for children with limb differences, who might not learn to do these skills the way we would do them. They could really benefit from the extra practice to figure out which way works best for THEM. Practice makes perfect!
