This weekend, G was a preschool toy tester for Melissa and Doug toys at Learning Express. The brand’s mission is to take back play and get kids to shut off their electronics. There were a variety of toys from puzzles and blocks to an ice cream cart and kitchen/diner combo. G preferred the table-top learning types of toys. We left with a letter game that teachers her to spell words and she is doing great! We love the quality and educational content of Melissa and Doug toys. They make learning fun. I especially like the preschool play toys because G isn’t in a classroom environment yet. She can learn while home with her grandma during the day.

Other highlights of the day included a Calico Critters playhouse and a scooter. We are just starting to get into Calico Critters and love them!
