5.0 out of 5 stars Quality Craftsmanship and Endless Play with Melissa & Doug Toolbox"
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2024
I recently purchased the Melissa & Doug Toolbox for my little one, and it has quickly become a favorite in our household.

The craftsmanship of the toolbox is outstanding – sturdy wooden construction and attention to detail showcase the brand's commitment to quality. The realistic design adds an extra layer of excitement for young ones who love to mimic real-world scenarios.

The variety of tools included is impressive, providing a well-rounded play experience. From a functional screwdriver to colorful nuts and bolts, it sparks creativity and imaginative play.

What stands out the most is the educational aspect – my child is not only having fun but also developing essential fine motor skills and problem-solving abilities.

Melissa & Doug Toolbox is not just a toy; it's a tool for learning and exploration. I appreciate the durability and the educational value it brings to playtime.

Highly recommended for parents seeking a well-made, engaging, and educational toy that fosters creativity and skill development. A fantastic addition to any child's playroom!

Great toy for a two year old, even my 3.5 year older daughter loves it. He loves playing with the hammer and screws, and pretends to be a mechanic. Very educational toy, the screws are easy to turn.

My LO is 20mnths and he really likes this toy. The hammer is his favorite piece! I expect he'll like it for a long time since he it will remain a challenge for a long time. It can be used in a variety of ways: hammering the nails to the box, screwing pieces together, screwing pieces to the box, removing nails with prying end of hammer, twisting washers by hand or with wrench/driver.
Pros:
1. Educational a) improves dexterity b) requires problem solving c) encourages imagination
2. Fun esp. since they can mimic mom and dad using tools
3. Bold primary (unisex) colors.
4. Made of durable wood.
5. Easy to take with you since everything fits in the tool box
6. Great price for the quality
Cons:
1. Does not have any other sets you can purchase to enhance this set
2. Grooves in screws extend for edge to edge, so it is tricky to keep screwdriver in place esp. when using in combination with wrench
3. Made in China even though it is an American owned company.
In response to common complaints from other critics.
1. Nails are hard to get out once hammered in. True, but my guy can do it by himself using the prying part of the hammer.
2. Chemical paint smell. Not true at all in the set we got and I am very sensitive to chemical smells.
3. Paint chipping. You do get paint transfer on the hammer if you hammer the painted parts (nails are not painted). But otherwise no chipping.
4. Splinters. My dog chewed on a couple of pieces and they splintered. However, my LO doesn't chew on them, and I doubt they would splinter if he did. They do not splinter when used in normal play.
5. Not realistic looking. The hammer is thick like a mallet but that is good for toddlers. They look as pictured. I would recommend real tools if your child has the dexterity, but for toddlers/preschoolers this set works.

Purchased this for my 2 1/2 y/o as an Easter gift as he’s been expressing interest in construction tools lately. I wanted something on the chunkier side since he’s still developing his fine motor skills but something that was still realistic enough to be usable and so that it would age well — this totally fit the bill! I’m always frustrated by toys that end up being too small for my kiddo, but this one is perfect, they don’t even feel too small in my hands. The screws/bolts are fully usable with both the screwdriver and the wrench, and all the pieces feel durable and work well. My only complaint is that the nails seem to be a little bit bigger than the screws so that they don’t fully fit through the holes, but I think that might be part of the design so that the toddlers are motivated to learn how to use the hammer to take the nails out? Either way, my little guy loves it and I’m looking forward to buying the tool bench in a year or so if his interest continues.

Love this tool set for my 18 month old. It's simple, no batteries needed (aka no noise), and the tools work on the nails/screws included. Perfect for fine motor skills and any little who likes fixing things like mom or dad!
