Ooh I love everything. The woodman diy kits look cool and i always love any melissa and doug toy.
I like the table top puppet theater
Lincoln Logs is classic. I would not only love them for my son, but for him and my husband to play with together. My husband talks about them from his childhood all the time.
My son would love their giant plush elephant. My daughter would love the Princess Elise magnetic doll set. Cute site! I am a follower of your site, too. It was private, but I switched it to public now.

So many amazing toys! My particular favorites were the Melissa and Doug Velcro slice-able fruits, veggies and breads. I also liked the puzzles.
I blogged about the giveaway.

I had my kids help me a little with the wish list… considering they are the ones wishing for everything lately (hope Santa got there emails… anyhoo) the wish list: My son, Riley who is 3 loved the tree house, he especially wants the little boy to come with it. He said, “mom, can I play with him” sure son. Maybe he doesn’t get out enough… yikes! Then my 11 month old little girl pretty much helped my typing skills, slobberine on everything and squeeling with delight when the other kids got so excited about the toys. I pick for her the soft plush stacking rings. Then there is the 7 year old girl… Keagan, he wants the painting easel, the make your own princess puppets, and the swirl and spin art fun (I talked her into that one.. I remember loving mine as a kid) So there is the wish list. I could go on, but I am not sure how many characters I am allowed. Thanks, as always for the giveaway, and for the website. Looks like Christmas shopping just got a little easier!
I would love ANYTHING Melissa and Doug. I love their wooden puzzles and their food boxes.
Love all the classic Melissa and Doug toys…those are my faves! This is a great find. Thanks!
We are big fans of ALL of the Meliss and Doug wooden food sets. Although I think the kiddos may need to get the kabob set and stir-fry slicing kit to round out their play kitchen!
My 2 boys would love the EverEarth car ramp and the Multi-Activity Bead Maze! They’d be great for Christmas!
Got you up on my twitteR:

So fun! My son would love the Gift Bag of Vehicles and the Construction Wooden Jigsaw puzzle.

I posted a copy on my blog so others can get in to game. This is a great website, with too much to chose from. But some of my favorites were… The Floor Model Puppet Theater for boys and girls, Band in a Box Musical Instrument Toys, and the Caterpillar Grasping Baby Toy.
My favorite is probably the Wooden Railway Toy Train Set by Melissa & Doug. My 2 year-old son is absolutely obsessed with trains right now, and it would be perfect for him!

Melissa and Doug Magnetic Activities would be a hit as well as the Laces, Latches & Locks and Slice and the Bake Cookies Pretend Food Toy Set by Melissa & Doug My daughter LOVES being in the kitchen and cooking!
My 2yr old would love the wooden Noah’s Ark playset with Animals.
For my nephew, I would get the stir fry kit, kabob grill set, and/or the sandwich making set.

I’m a first grade teacher and a bunch of the write-a-mats would be great!

I love all of the kitchen toys, specifically the sushi set and the shopping cart. Adorable!
I love the Froggy kickball…the students in my class would go CRAZY for a set of these balls. Why? Because everyone would know they belong to our room!!

I absolutely love your site! My wishlist would be Lincoln Logs & the grocery store.
Love, love, love the grocery store and lemonade stand! My girls had a lemonade stand several times this summer! They would love that!!
These toys are awesome! I especially love the Tree houses!
Sign me up!
All of the Melissa & Doug pretend play food is awesome!
I don’t know what my favorite item is but I love the Melissa and Doug toys…they are classic, educational, and fun all at the same time. I love the fruit set that you like, too!
Okay…so obviously I didn’t pay attention to your “rules!” I absolutely LOVE the xylophone toy you showed but didn’t find it on my own. I really like the Melissa and Doug Noah’s Ark Shape sorter…so cute!
I would love the basic skills block and educational clock. They are both just basic things, but are so fun for the kids!
I love the grocery store stand and all of the melissa and doug pretend food. Anything from this site would be great to have for my little girl!
I loved the old-fashion toys, i would have to say my favorite was the Just Jump It EZ Step Junior Stilts. It made me want to purchase large cans and help my son make his one stilts like I has as a child. I think that they are a great way to work on large motor skills with a three year old. I will be getting him a set of these.
I follow in my reader but also joined as a follower.
I like the games – “out of the box”
I would love to get the baby Fishbowl Fill and Spill for my 8 month old. I love Melissa and Doug!
Just posted on Twitter!
I am a follower and I love LOTS of the toys on the site! But I especially love all the kitchen stuff, so cute
I am a follower now. My kids would have so much fun with all those toys. I like the EZ stepper stilts, I’m pretty sure I had those as a kid and the take along tool kit and the pirate chest. So fun!
I am a Foodie Friend and just checked out the website! WOW! So many great toys it is hard to choose!! What a great website they have! My 5 year old daughter loves her “dollies” so she would love the doll cradle or the doll bed. Also, I think she would love the Tumble Tree Builders Timber Logs and has never even seen Lincoln Logs of any kind. I think she would love them and be proud of what she builds! Thanks so much!
i’m a fan of the picky palate that’s for sure! i’ve been following for a few months now! it was the ultimate cookie that got my attention! yum!
Love all the melissa and doug toys. but i’m always on the look out for fun/captivating chore charts…and my girls thrive from chore charts! so the melissa & doug chore chart would be on my list as well as the noah’s arc set. but way too many things to look through!
i linked it!
crossing my fingers!
I would choose Bendominoes – they look fun!
I love the pretend food, especially the pizza and birthday cake. That would make a lovely addition to our pretend kitchen oven and sink! The Yackle ball seems appropriate for my two boys too!
