Melissa & Doug Joey Magnetic Wooden Dress-Up Pretend Play Set (25+ pcs)

My little nephew was delighted to get this pretend play figure. He had his sister get out her ballerina one so they could play together. He kept up a steady patter of what each item was and where it fit on the figure, and how much the figure was like him, or not like him. It was a joy to watch him have such a great time playing with it. He even had fun putting all the pieces back in their sections of the box. He loved it!

Melissa and doug products are great. We love these magnetic dolls. We have a few already this was another adition. They work well and stay even when being stood up and moved around. The peices have nice coloring and it doesn't peel off the magnet as some of the cheaper ones I've bough start peeling and the hold isn't as strong.for the price your getting a great product that's going to last. Like I already said with 6 kids this brand is a trusted and rested Brand by us! One thing I dont like is that there is not real top. It would be nice if this came with something to keep the peices in. But the pastiche that is over it is just for packaging. So the peices can fall out easily. We still keep our in the regular box on a shelf and stack all the ones we have together. But again with no lid I'm sure we have lost shoes to others and small peices.

This item was a hit with my 2 ½ year old grandson. As always, the quality of Melissa and Doug’s products are beyond excellent. I only wish that the toy came with a lid to the tray to contain the small parts.

we don't do any tablet or technology time at our home so I love finding gifts that are time consuming and allow children to be able to play with it independently as well and share with me what they like to do. I bought the first one when my child was around 2 years old and now that is 3 years old I got another sad because he loves having another one. he enjoys dressing them differently he loves talking about the kind of professions they have. my daughter had his set and I always wanted to find a suitable one for my son because he prefers to play with boy figure which get to dress up with different profession

Our Toddler class loved this and now asking for a girl one, so they can get married😂

We love this set. My son enjoys playing dress-up with his sister, and loves her magnetic princess dolls, and also loves to carefully set out and then put on his clothes in the morning. I thought this would be a fun toy for him, and I greatly underestimated how much he would love it. He would take it everywhere if he could. We have lost a piece already, and part of the reason is because the set is poorly packaged. There is no good storage option other than to take it out of its beautiful wooden box and place it in something that actually closes. What you see is what you get - there is no functional cover on this box. It is wrapped in plastic, and as soon as that's removed, that's it. But that is my only complaint about this toy! The pieces are well-made, and durable. The magnets are strong. We have had no problem getting them to stick and stay, even during vigorous play time. Because all the "shirts" are different sizes, as well as all the pants and shoes, it's difficult to impossible to mix and match certain outfits - your only option really is to put the outfits on as shown, with a few exceptions.

This is a very cute toy. My autistic grandson enjoys "Steve ".

This review concentrates on the age-specific play I've seen with this toy. I have (current to review) a 2.5 year old DD, and a 4.5 year old DS, both of whom will play with these sets (the "Joey" set, and the "Prince & Princess" set--with colorful "matching" outfits). I purchased them last Christmas when the children were about 2 and 3.5, respectively. Both kids played with the sets then, and I purchased these because I thought they'd be easier for my 2 year old to handle than other "dress up" dolls or toys. Now, at almost 3, DD can manipulate the outfits, and she enjoys matching the right color outfit pieces together (Prince/Princess), and matching the 2 dolls to each other. They also have conversations, or "dance" face to face. My 4.5 DS also has really started to enjoy both playsets [more], especially the "Joey" set, since he can put together funny combinations of pirate/policeman/superhero costumes. I actually think he enjoyed the Prince/Princess more when he was 3.5, and Joey more now (but he has also gotten more into costumes, occupations, and pretend in general). DS doesn't play with this terribly long, not nearly as long as his LEGOS, but he's more into construction than "storytelling". There are a couple of very small pieces, like the crowns, or Joey's superhero mask, but we haven't had a problem with them being lost or chewed. (use a 2 gallon ziplock bag to contain the wood boxes and pieces.) Note: I also bought a Melissa & Doug Abby & Emma set (with smaller pieces, fashion theme) for a 6 year old niece, and she very much seemed to enjoy it as well.

Wir haben dieses Set unserem 3-jährigen zum Geburtstag gekauft. Es ist stabil, super verarbeitet, sieht sehr schön aus und beschäftigt die Kleinen sehr gut. Ich kann es sehr empfehlen. Wir werden ein paar Sets kaufen und zu Geburtstagen verschenken.

Depuis 3 ans, je suis adepte de melissa and doug ! Je n'ai jamais été déçue de ses jouets en bois au très joli design. Cependant, un petit reproche quand même : dommage qu'il n'y ai pas de couvercle sur les sets ! Pour le rangement, ce serait l'idéal !

So pleased that they made one for boys. Great quality.

Hermoso y súper para los niños!!

Bought this for nephew after searching for different toys on Amazon. This came up with good reviews so took a chance. They have never seen anything like this before either and it's a massive hit. Both mother and son love playing with this.
