Unit blocks are $35 with the sale - that's not much more than they are when you find them at TJMaxx etc.

[oneontheway]

Thank OP! I got the Piano for DS and the spider set for a gift.

Can you tell me about the unit blocks? I just bought a set of 100 Kid Kraft ones from Marshall's yesterday but I think they may be a lot smaller. Are these something special?

Unit blocks are made to a set scale so the sets can be used together. There are plenty of wood blocks that are not "unit blocks" if that make sense.

Costco also sells a set of 64 unit blocks. I think they are around $20

ETA I found a set of 100 Kidkraft blocks on Amazon. They don't look like they are unit blocks.

Ah - yes that does. Thanks! I pulled the trigger. I got a Nilo train table off Craigslist (thank you to Corie who posted that a few months ago) and wanted to get some blocks that both DD and DS can play with as a big joint gift for Christmas. Done and done!

oh wow this is awesome thanks! i am getting the alphabet stamp thing for DS...he was fascinated with the set i have in my craft table, and this is perfect!!

and anybody have the piano?? the price looks really good...i'm thinking of buying it for my DD. they've had a plastic pianos but this looks pretty cool. woudl love to get the kids interested in music.

i will probably get something for my 3yo niece too...they have a lot of toys but IMO a lot of them are plastic crappy stuff so i'd love to get her something nice from M&D. for those of you with 3yo girls, any suggestions?? (eta: i got her the ice cream scoop set. i cannot resist magnetic stuff, i think that looked pretty cool).

[larig]

Have any of you seen the unit blocks at Costco this season? They are 19.99 and I got some for DS. Any idea how they compare to the M&D ones?

[lmwbasye]

FYI...ebates is 4% today for Amazon toys :)

i'm getttng 3 y.o. dd the floor puzzles, pattern blocks & board, and stamps. i think the stamps will be nice if she is interested in words or the rolling pin set with a nice tub of model magin clay will be a nice gifts for a girl.

Never thought to look. Thank you! What with the $5 voucher yesterday, Amazon is killing it on the prices.

[Melaine]

Wish they had the coloring books...those are the best!

I missed the $5 voucher?

People have mentioned them in the past. I believe they're supposed to be good. I was very close to buying a set for DS yesterday to add to his M&D regular and architectural sets.

The ice cream set is awesome. If you are looking to stock the gift closet it is a great one! My 3-year-old DS got one at Christmas last year and still plays with it (he will be 4 in Feb).

[babyzolo]

The piano is great. My kids played with it from 6 months through 4 years. Now we have a real piano so it is not getting as much attention as it used to. It is still part of their travelling band though.

Thanks OP. I've been looking at at that piano for a while, got it for DD for her birthday next month.

[janine]

Thanks OP- got the piano and clay model set. Too bad I missed the $5 deal!

[Mikey0709]

How come something ALWAYS goes on sale the day AFTER i order it??? Seriously - ordered one of the sale items yesterday :( FROM A DIFFERENT COMPANY - - so i can't even ask for an adjustment.....

[jam224]

Thanks, OP! Went through ebates and used my $5 promo on the piano. :)

[Mommaof3]

I ordered the giraffe for my friend for her giraffe obsessed DD who is 12! She didn't want that big a box shipped to her house. At least my DS who is 2 will have a new play house!

[KrisM]

Great deal! I bought the Pirate Chest (http://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-2576-Pirate-Chest/dp/B000ARW60U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1353438416&sr=8-2&keywords=melissa+and+doug+pirate)for DS2. It's been on my list at $23 for a while now, and $15 is great! I added the Geek Dad (http://www.amazon.com/Geek-Dad-Awesomely-Projects-Activities/dp/1592405525/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1353438506&sr=8-1&keywords=geek+dad)book to get over $25 to use my $5 promotion from yesterday. My total for the 2 items was only $21, so less than the Pirate Chest was at full price!

[sayma]

What is the $5 promo that a few of you are referring to? I shopped on Amazon yesterday, but don't recall a $ 5 promo. Just want to make sure I don't miss out...thanks!!

I also loved the piano...can't wait for my girls to see it...they will love it!

There was a Facebook app to install and if you did, you got a $5 off your next order of $25 or more.

[Jenn850]

Thanks! Got the play dough molds. We have the tiger, puzzles, pirate chest, food sets... All great toys. My daughter just turned 4 and she played with those floor puzzles all year. She would like the ice cream too.

[sayma]

Thanks Kris! Bummed I didn't see this as I did spend over $25 today on M&D toys! Will make sure to check in the future!

[edurnemk]

Wooohooo! I just checked off 3 items from Santa's shopping list! Thanks!

50% off select toys.

Buy for your kids. Buy for birthday presents! There are some good deals.

FYI: Michaels is doing B1G1 free for Melissa and Doug on Th, F, S and they have coupons for entire purchase that stack on top of that: Thursday 4-11 is 30% off, Friday 7am-noon 25% off, Saturday 8am-noon 20% off.

So, you could get as high as 65% off if you venture out on Thursday if you're into that kind of thing. 62.5% off if you wait for Friday.

Of course, they have a limited selection but I am thinking of going there to get some of the food toys.
