About Us

Nurturing Healthy Imaginations

Our mission is to provide a launch pad to ignite imagination and a sense of wonder in all children so they can discover themselves, their passions, and their purpose.

There was a time not so long ago when childhood offered the space and freedom for children to explore their world. To be curious. To be creative. To be bold. To be bored. To just . . . be. Today, our overstimulated and overscheduled children are using their imaginations less than ever. It’s a crisis in the making. And it’s why we’re committed to making products that inspire creative thinking and encourage kids to see new possibilities. It’s also why the American Academy of Pediatrics chose to join forces with us to champion the health benefits of open-ended play.

Product Details

Melissa & Doug Nesting & Sorting Buildings & Vehicles
Take six nesting and sorting blocks, add six numbered vehicles to roll inside, and what do you have? A community full of stacking, counting, hide-and-seek, mix-and-match, imaginative play This action-packed play set lets kids build towers or a town scene filled with buildings like a hospital, fire station, or school, with a wooden vehicle for every building. On their front panels, the blocks feature doors so the vehicles have a place to park. Kids can also pair numbers on the buildings and vehicles or match by color to put together the correct pairs, reinforcing early-learning concepts as they play. Pediatricians recommend toys that inspire hands-on imaginative thinking. This toy makes a great gift for 2-year-olds, 3-year-olds, 4-year-olds, and up. It's a perfect gift for baby showers, birthdays, and special occasions. Add a Melissa & Doug Shape-Sorting Cube to round out the play experience and give kids another engaging option for screen-free fun. For more than 30 years, Melissa & Doug has created beautifully designed imagination- and creativity-sparking products that NBC News called “the gold standard in early childhood play.” Today, Melissa & Doug is proudly partnering with the American Academy of Pediatrics to foster early brain development and help children build important life skills through play.
