Customer Reviews
Melissa and Doug Princess Wooden Stamp Set is a fun toy that encourages creativity and keeps kids occupied. This stamp kit comes complete with nine different stamps, a small ink pad with pink and purple ink, and five colored pencils for your child's creative enjoyment.
Melissa and Doug toys are known for education, creativity, and durability and most every product the company makes can be counted on to posses at least two of these qualities. The same is true with this toy. The Melissa and Doug Princess Wooden Stamp Set isn't big on educational quality, but it does encourage creativity and the set and storage container are made from wood, for better durability. The wooden container offers easy storage so that pieces do not get lost and the product's individual pieces are designed to last.
Melissa and Doug Princess Wooden Stamp Set is simple yet fun and requires little supervision or explaining. My little princesses like this toy and still find it fun, but I have noticed that it lacks the staying power of some of their favorite toys. Unless I suggest it, they are not likely to use it. They do like it, but I think they have become a little bored with it. They prefer toys with movement and sound, and this offers neither.
This stamp set is certainly durable, but one thing that isn't made to last is the ink pad. I like that the Melissa and Doug Princess Wooden Stamp Set comes complete with its own ink and my girls strongly appreciate that the ink is colored purple and pink. However, don't expect the ink to last very long. The small blotches of ink will not offer many stamping adventures, so be prepared to purchase additional ink stamps within a few months.
Although not the perfect toy, the Melissa and Doug Princess Wooden Stamp Set is nonetheless a good toy for little princesses everywhere. It has many positive qualities, encourages creativity, and is priced right. Like I said, it lacks staying power, but it has enough positive qualities to recommend.
My daughter, almost 4 years old, has a hard time getting the stamps to work properly. She keeps telling me it isn't working right, and when I go to check I see that the stamps are not absorbing the ink enough for it to transfer to the paper properly.
When I try it, I have to press down hard on the ink pad and really milk it and then it will stick to the paper properly.
The stamps are cute, the wooden storage compartment is cute... but I am not impressed about the ink. I am not sure if there is something wrong with the ink we got or not. I do have other inkpads, made by a different company, and I am going to try the stamps on them to see if we can't get them to work better.
It's cute, and could be a lot more fun if they worked properly so they wouldn't frustrate a child.
