Melissa and Doug’ Daily Calendar and Classroom Set Review ‘Melissa and Doug’ Daily Calendar and Classroom Set Review

Whilst the wipe clean cards encourage spelling practice, sum solving and story writing, it’s the classic handled school bell, ticking timer and board pointer that have been given most attention by my girls. The box itself doubles as a double-sided play area, with a drop down teacher’s desk on one side and a student’s desk on the other. I’d like to put out a personal plea to Melissa and Doug to create a similar after-school tool that would encourage children to disclose information about their day. I’m not sure whether I’ve had more trips to the Book Shelf to select a new read or to the ‘Canteen’ to be served my lunch. The Classroom also comes with two dry-white markers (one which unfortunately didn’t work from the onset), so I’ve already raided our craft cupboard for replacements.The calendar comes with 80 magnets including years, months, numerals for dates, days of the week, holidays, special events and emotions. This activity kit gives children the tools to enhance their role play as they pretend to be teacher or pupil.

A Melissa and Doug Educational Toy from BrightMinds is a wonderful gift for your special boy or girl. What I love about Melissa and Doug products is that they offer a fun, educational means of re-establishing and growing the connection between child and adult.Melissa and Doug take pride in conceptualising every product at their offices in Connecticut, hand-making each prototype until they get it just right, before putting them into production at their factory. Melissa and Doug was founded over 20 years ago when Melissa and Doug began creating wooden puzzles in their garage. This activity certainly helps foster creativity and communication skills, or in laymen’s terms, mess-making and bossiness (err, assertiveness)! The Daily Calendar works for us as it encourages my girls to talk about the day ahead and offers them a reassuring expectation of upcoming events.
