Melissa & Doug Melissa & Doug, Let’s Play House! Dust! Sweep! Mop! Pretend Play Set

Fantastic gift! What I really love about this more than other similar toys is that these feel and looks more classy. A lot of the similar toys look cheap and nasty to be quite frank but this doesn't! Not only that but each 'toy' can actually be used as a real bit of kit! This can help train your child into doing mini chores which will benefit them when they are older. Another great feature about this toy is that the design is elegant and stands tall, therefore not taking up too much space unnecessarily.One more point that I may add is that it's very stable and roughly the size or a toddler.Pros:- Elegant design using the appropriate amount of space.- Can be used in real-life situations.- Manufactured well and strong.Cons:- I am genuinely struggling to think of a con (I am usually good that this!) but one possible fallback is the limited choice of colours.

High quality product which our granddaughter loves playing with on her own and also when helping her Mum tidy up the house.Big fan of Melissa and Doug products, they never disappoint.

My kids love "cleaning" the kitchen. If by cleaning, you mean pushing items on the floor around with a brush. As a Dad this is fraught with danger and a few times now I've taken a standard broom handle to the chops as either my 3 or 1 year old tries to brandish it. I've given them a small brush designed for adults but these never prove very robust. Typically the head ends up falling off, or worse - occasionally the hanger pops off which is imminently chewable. This Melissa & Doug playset is well designed, with everything being one or two large pieces. Nothing falls off, nothing is eatable, they put up with being beaten around.Best of all, when my 1 year old spills his milk, my 3 year old quickly gets "her" mop and cleans it up herself! Result!

This became my sons no1 Christmas present, thanks Melissa & Doug.This is a great set for any toddler and in the over 2 months since Christmas, has been my sons most used present.The wood is of good quality and would not be easily broken. They attach to the stand which is of equal construction via rope on the end of each piece to a groove on each arm of the stand. It holds them enough that they wont all fall off if bumped against but wont provide any difficulty for the child in removing them.It's an easy 5 stars for Melissa and I'd give another 5 to Doug if I could.

I’m a massive fan of Melissa and Doug and these don’t disappoint. My daughter wanted a cleaning set but she’s a little heavy handed so I knew those plastic sets wouldn’t be up to the job and be broken in days . I ordered this and it’s awesome. All made of wood and nice good quality brushes and mop head and duster head . Looks really attractive, is strong and realistic. My daughter plays with this every day . Brilliant set highly recommended

Decent enough. Hours of fun pretend "cleaning". Makes no difference to your children's desire to actually tidy up, however, and can cause small dents to appear on the wall when they've used the (incidentally a bit wobbly) main stand as some kind of jousting stick.

Got it for my 2 year old as a Christmas gift and he loves it. He always finds something to clean now :) It’s perfect size for a 2-3 year old. The stand that the set comes with is super handy and the little one is getting into the habit of hanging things when finished playing! I stationed it in the kitchen and must say it looks really lovely - gorgeous bright colours and nice old school feel. Very good quality too.

My little one absolutely adores this set. It's really comfortable and pleasant to play with because of the sturdy wooden construction, and given how enthusiastic he is (and his attempts to use parts of it as a climbing frame!) there's no way that a plastic set would have survived more than a matter of days. The only minor issue is that he doesn't find it easy to clip the small brush back into the dustpan, so there has been a little frustration over that, but it's a very minor niggle against what is otherwise an excellent toy :)
