Melissa and Doug are real people (and parents of six) who are passionate about the power of play!
To ignite imagination and wonder so children discover themselves, their passions, and their purpose.
Made with quality and care, our toys inspire a world of discovery and hands-on learning.
The Melissa & Doug signature on every product is our commitment to the highest standards.
“Part of Melissa & Doug’s appeal is as an antidote, if not a substitute, for all that screen time.”
“The couple's brand of low-tech, mostly wood toys has become the gold standard in early childhood play.”
“Melissa & Doug toys flex every muscle of a child’s developing sense of identity – and the toys are often tested by their six children.”
“Melissa & Doug is set on making toys that are meant to be timeless, in an effort to preserve a cornerstone of childhood...open-ended play.”
What makes Melissa & Doug toys good for kids?
