Beautiful and sturdy
Rec'd this today, and it is a beautiful set. The colors are so vibrant, and the wood makes this a toy that seems like it'll last. We are very pleased and look forward to purchasing more of these for friends.

Daughter loves it.
My four year old daughter loves this toy. She can honestly spend hours playing with this and the other two similar dolls by Melissa and Doug. My only beef is that the shades and depth of the colours of the tops and bottoms of some of the outfits don't match - I assume this is just a problem with our set, but I am a bit disappointed. My daughter doesn't care at all about the mismatch so it really doesn't matter.

great for younger kids
i bought this for my 2 1/2 year old to take on a plane trip. i wanted something besides coloring books in her carry on case. she wouldn't let me put it up for the trip once she saw it. her 4 year old brother got the 'joey' one and they have been playing with them every day! i was honestly surprised at how much the love them. the number of pieces per outfit is completely age appropriate. not too difficult and not too boring. the magnets aren't so strong that the clothes are hard to remove, but they don't fall off easily either. i'm not sure how durable these will be though. my husband got a few of the pieces wet, and i see a tiny bit of rippling on them. and i know he didn't let them stay wet for long. i too wish they came with a cover! i am not sure how i'm going to take these on to the planes in their carry on cases. i'll have to transfer them to another container or make some sort of cover, which is kind of annoying.

perfect for preschoolers
Bought this magnetic princess for my daughter's 4-year birthday. I love it because it's a princess with no Disney designation. She has spent hours playing with her and interchanging her clothes. The one drawback is that there is no cover on the box, so it's easy to spill.

my review
i had never heard of melissa and doug until a recent search on amazon. these are well made toys and a big hit with my grandbabies. i will be buying more melissa and doug toys...
