My daughter loves this journal. Now she can keep her secrets safe. Since I bought this journal right [$] and it was worth the money. This is the best thing I ever bought for my child. see less

My daughter had been eyeing this journal at a mall store, which was waaaayyyyyy too expensive. She happened to get it for her birthday and absolutely loves it. The other reviewer must have gotten a defective one. I"m actually impressed that I can try and impersonate her voice, and it WON'T open using the correct password. You can also record your own message to alert you when someone has tried to open your journal and failed. She's had it for 1 wk, so we'll see how it lasts . . . oh the 4 stars for value is that it still seems a bit pricey. see less

My 2 yr old daughter got this for Christmas, but our whole family enjoys it. Our 9 and 6 year olds like to play with it, and the adults love it too! It's a great mess-free way for little ones to get their artistic fix. see less

My son received the Aquadoodle for his 2nd birthday. My daughter has played with it almost everyday since he received it. They enjoy the toy and so do I. There is no mess to this toy and that is what I like. Make sure the kiddos do not use markers on the mat, my daughter did. see less

Bought this for my son and it's much smaller than the picture. After write all over it, it takes time to dry so then we move to some paper. Cute idea but it's not as big as it seems. see less

One of the best parts about this was the cheese grater. It wouldn't stay on --kept popping off -- so had to return it. Cute idea, though. see less

Bought this for my 4 year old grandson . We have done many of the cooking play doh sets together and found them fun, easy to work with, but not this one. The cheese grater is difficult to work, and the pizza comes out small and thick. All in all I wish I had bought the dentist play doh instead. see less

I bought this for a 5 year old's birthday present and she loved it! Assembly was easy and is is very durable. It has taken a lot of abuse since it was given to her, but it is still standing strong. I would definitely recommend this!!! see less

I am still not too sure what I am going to do with it but it was really easy a little messy but that was to be expected. This was my fourth child and I really wanted a memory of the pregnancy. see less

This kit was a lot of fun but there are no tips or direction except a three step explanation on the back of the box. I looked online for tips and it was a lot of fun. Very easy with a big plastic drop cloth to protect the area. see less

This toy was supposed to be a replacement for another brand, until my 4 year old cut his hand on the sharp edges and bled. It is made of very cheap plastic and the written area "font color" is very pale compared to the other brand. I'm returning the product immediately. This is something I expect to find at a dollar store...not Target. see less

i highly recommend this product--we did or 3 week old daughter's handprint as a christmas ornament. the material is almost like a foam and it was much easier to do than the plaster kit that we recieved as a gift. the key is to knead the foam for a few minutes like dough before rolling it out and attempting the print. this will warm the material and make it easier to press you little one's hand into!! it hardens over the next few days. so glad we recieved this as a gift! see less

i was really excited about this product, but i ended up very disappointed. it may work for an older child who can press down hard enough to get a good print, but didn't work at all for getting our 6 week old infant's foot print. i'd go with ink or plaster. see less

I bought this easel as a Christmas present for my five year old nephew and my two year old nephew. It is a little to tall for the two year old, but they both love it. They love arts and crafts, so are excited to use the easel any time that they can. see less

My son is 4 years old and ... see more

My son is 4 years old and tall for his age. He loves to draw and paint so for Christmas we decided to get him an easel. All of the other kid easels were a lot shorter than this one and made of plastic. What I love about the Melissa and Doug easel is that the height can be adjusted for growing kids. It's also wood so it's not little kidish. The dry erase board is great! The chalkboard doesn't work as well, but he doesn't seem to mind. I love that it holds the roll of paper in the center and has clips that attach the paper to the easel for drawing or painting. If you buy this easel you won't be disappointed! You should buy the Melissa and Doug easel accessory kit to go with it. The kit comes with the paint brushes, no spill paint cups,which the easel has designated spots for,chalk, dry erase marker and eraser. I see him getting many years out of this easel! see less

We bought this for our daughter's 3rd birthday, and she LOVES it! We also bought the companion kit with the paints & chalk to go along with it. The paints clean up off the floor nicely, and just with a little soap it will come right off the hands. I am in love with Melissa & Doug products! The easel is great as well! This is just what my daughter needed! see less

This easel is used by my 4 year old daughter. She is tall for her age and this height on the easel is great. The pale pink is a nice color. I like that it is 2 sided. She loves using this easel to draw and practice letter writing as well as painting. The magnetic letters and numbers made of foam were not quality and did not have enough. They need to triple the letters and numbers so when you are doing math or spelling a name, you will have all that you need. see less

Very sturdy and lots of fun. I didn't keep the numbers/letters that came with the easel, but it's great for painting and drawing. see less

Loved the extras included in the box (magnets) Still had to buy markers and chalk but that's OK as they were the stocking stuffers for this present! see less

I am a grandmother of twins who are now three. I brought two and this was the best thing I did for Christmas. The twins play school and draw. They tell stories to each other of what they are drawing on the board. All of my four kids are expecting in 2013 and I see a lot of gifts coming from products of Step 2. Great gift. see less

As a homeschool mom, I'm always on the lookout for items that can be used time and time again, in new and creative ways, and this writing, drawing and playing easel from Step 2 is perfect! Now, with the two sides both available for play, a big and little brother can both have a "piece" of Easel. very sturdy. The Easel is simple to clean, with smooth plastic and storage bins that come off to clean as well. It is lightweight and can be moved from one room to another for use easily. A nice addition to a childs room or toyroom. I am a Step2 Review Mom and I received this easel for review. see less

So glad I got this desk. My 2 year old loves it! This might be too small for older kids. The stand up easel is prefect for her height. see less

I recommend this item to everyone interested in a desk/easel. My granddaughter was 18 months old when I bought it and she plays with it all the time. Loves the bins to put her stuff in and sits there playing often. She doesn't use every feature yet but I am sure she till in the future. see less

We bought this from Target.com and gave it to our 2/12 year old for Christmas. It was very easy to put together, only took my husband 15-20 minutes. This is a great little desk & easel and I love that it has a stool. Has plenty of storage for coloring books, crayons, and markers. Our daughter loves it!! I bought it based on the other customer reviews and the price. There were cheaper easels out there, but I think this was the best item & the best price. I would recommend this Step 2 Flip & Doodle easel desk to anyone who is looking for an art desk for their toddler. see less

We bought this for my 7 year old niece, this says ages 7 & up. The assembly for these dolls is a nightmare, it took two adults over an hour to do this. The instructions are a joke, they are pictures only. Actually having some written words might have helped. However, after all was said and done, my niece loved them. Do not buy this expecting your child to be able to do this though. see less

if you get playdoh and find that some of it is harder to mold than others:1) knead for approximately 4 mins.2) make a mixture of 1 part veggie oil and 1 part water3) place playdoh back into container4) push the playdoh all of the way down into the conatainer5) make 3 little ravines in the playdoh with your fingers6) pour about 1 t. of the oil and water mix into the container with the play doh7) DO NOT mold the oil+ water in with the playdoh8) let sit for about 30 hours in a 65-80 degree climate9) after 30 or so hours it should be soft, squishy and ready to play withtrust me people-- this actually works. my sibling bought this playdoh the other day and wasnt satisfied with it's squishiness. i experimented with it and found that this was the best way to modify playdoh to your advantage. everyone always adds water to their playdoh if it dried out a bit, but the water just evaporates right back out of it. the oil stays in for longer periods of time, ensuring that the playdoh will remain squishier for longer. it is still good to add 14-16 drops of water about every three to five days because of the high salt content in the playdoh. see less
