[blparent] Melissa and Doug toys

[Brandy W]

That toy is awesome! We have the cake, cupcakes that have toppings candles
and dry erase markers to decorate the frosting, and the markers look like
frosting bags, the pizza with all kinds of toppings, the ice-cream set that
has cones with different ice-cream flavors. It has a magnetic scoop that
will scoop the ice-cream and you can then put it on the cone. and I'm sure
I'm missing something. I want the fruit and veggie set, but haven't got it
yet. They make some great toys!

Hi.  Sarah got a belated Christmas gift tonight that I was really impressed
with.  Actually, the gift came on Christmas, but she had kind of gotten
burned out on the whole unwrapping thing, so we waited till tonight to let
her open it.

Anyway, the toy was a wooden one made by Melissa and Doug.  We've got a
couple of wooden puzzles that make sounds, but this toy is really unique.
It's a wooden cake, cut into six slices.  Then there are little wooden
candles, cake toppings like strawberries, and a spatula.  The candles and
toppings stick onto the cake slices with Velcro, so a child can mix and
match the decorations.  Sarah was fascinated with the toy, and she brought
me slices of cake to eat all evening long.

I just thought I'd tell about a toy that was new to me.  Maybe some of you
with young aspiring chefs will want to look for it.

Merry Christmas,
Jo Elizabeth
