Review on ๐Ÿงธ Melissa & Doug Developmental Toys: Fostering Responsibility, Novelty, and Gag Play by Ryan Reed

Good idea. A good product, but not great.

First of all, this is a great idea. And apparently this is an updated"improved" version. I would like to see the next version because I can think of a few updates that could definitely be made to this version. The magnets are very weak and keep falling off. The two boards are permanently connected and you can just cut the nylon cords so you don't keep hanging both at the same time. Third, thick solid wood makes the thing heavy, ie difficult to hang, and bulky, like I said. It worked great for the first few days, but after that my son got really tired of picking the magnets off the floor and putting them back on. I'll probably buy a ton of velcro and go down that route to get this working, but it's frustrating to me that a company that designs products for kids has overlooked a few basic but important considerations.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • You could have chosen a newer model
