Editorial Review
Stamp, color, and create your own dinosaur-dotted landscapes! When inspiration hits, this simple stamp and pencil set lets budding artists create countless colorful scenes. Some of the biggest names in Dino-dom are here: Tyrannosaurus, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Pteranodon, Ankylosaurus, Apatosaurus, and Velociraptor. Use the fiery volcano stamp to give them a landscape and then watch as these once-extinct dinosaurs multiply. The set includes five colored pencils for sketching, scribbling, or filling in the details, and two large pads of washable ink--a blessing for parents of the overzealous stamper. All of the included pieces stow neatly in the sturdy wooden storage bin with transparent lid, so artists always know what's available, and can tidy up after themselves when they're done. --Heather Lyndon

Most of the art supplies I have bought in the past were Crayola, so I'm used to the claim of washability being true. Not so with the Melissa ; Doug stamp sets. I broke out a few of the sets as a rainy day surprise this morning for my kids. Because of the claim of washability, I didn't bother to set out a cover on their play table. When the kids were finished playing, their little hands and the table were covered in ink. No biggie. I helped them put their stamps away and then grabbed some wipes to clean their table. That knocked some of it out but not all. Even with a kitchen cleaning spray and then (UGH) bleach water, I could not get all the color off the table. The final straw was when my kids got out of the bathtub this morning (rainy day activity 2, playing sea monsters in the tub) and were still covered in the ink. Obviously, I'm not happy. The stamps are OK (we did get too many square edges included in the image for my taste but my kids didn't care).
I just wanted to warn parents to cover the work space if they decide to purchase this item. I'll do the same until this product runs out and then I'll look for some washable ink that really is washable. The kids did enjoy it so I do think it's a good gift idea. The same could be accomplished by purchasing some individual stamps/ink pads/colored pencils and assembling in a basket yourself. The price on this item is right though. Just beware the stains!
The stamps themselves are great and really durable with wonderful detail. We were really happy to find the names of the types of dinosaurs on the sides of the box. It's also really nice that the colored pencils are already sharpened and ready for use. A minor complaint is that they didn't include a brown colored pencil though, as that is the one color we felt was most needed for coloring volcanos and dinosaurs. Another minor complaint is that the ink provided is red and blue... not exactly the earthy tones that you would want your dinosaurs to be. A major complaint, however, is that the ink box boasts that it is washable, but it is definitely NOT! My son was wearing one of his favorite shirts while stamping and got a lot of ink rubbed onto his shirt while working... I wasn't concerned about it, as the ink box claims it's washable. However, after three washings, and other treatments, the ink hadn't faded one bit, and I finally had to just throw his shirt away. The ink also wouldn't wash off his hands. It's a total lie that the ink pad is washable - be warned, throw the ink away, and buy ones that truly are washable, and perhaps also in earthy colors that are more suitable for dinosaurs too... Then you'll be able to enjoy these stamps.
