Moreover, the cake set serves multiple family members and helps children use their imaginations, with one customer noting it’s built to last several kids. However, the velcro quality receives mixed feedback – while some say it’s plenty sticky, others report it’s not great.

Great for Therapy
I use this in my Occupational Therapy treatments with kids. I visit a couple schools each day and carry nearly all of my supplies in a bookbag or rolling bag, depending on the week. This birthday cake has been the perfect therapy tool this year. I can use this with many of my students while still addressing lots of individual goals.I have found that kids will do just about anything if it involves playing with this or any of the other Melissa and Doug food toys. We often use it as a relay game at the start of the session. I put all the cake and decorating pieces in one place and the cake plate about 10-15 feet away. I have kids crab walk, bear crawl, bunny hop, scooterboard, etc to get the cake pieces and decorations and then do the same movement back over to the cake plate to put the pieces together. Itâs a GREAT way to incorporate gross motor skills, motor planning, and proprioceptive input before we sit down to work those fine motor skills. After the cake is all put together with their chosen decorations, we sing happy birthday. Iâve had so many birthdays in the past few weeks, Iâm about 100 years old now!This cute little birthday cake also helps kids work on play skills at the same time. This sounds crazy, but I have so many students that donât know how to appropriately play with toys. They throw toys, dump out multiple bins, chew on toys, or just ignore them all together. Using the cake and itâs many pieces, we work on social interactions, pretend play, interactive play, turn taking, making a choice, whatever that kiddo needs to work on to help them be successful in areas theyâre struggling in. Iâve had multiple students with VERY limited vocabularies say âcake!â or âbirthday!â in the middle of other activities to let me know they want to play with this particular toy. It was an incredible thing to hear these sweet babies let me know what they wanted when itâs normally such a struggle for them. Iâm not a speech therapist, but I can imagine it would be a great tool for them too!You can adapt this toy to just about any need youâre addressing. Need to work on color identification? There are 6 different colored candles. Need to work on one to one counting? So many pieces for that. Need to work on sorting? Sort the âtoppings.â Need 5 minutes of peace and quiet to unload the dishwasher? As a mom, I can attest that it works for that too. Itâs been a great tool to facilitate all the the skills you can think of because everyone loves a birthday and can relate to celebrating one.I also use it as positive reinforcement. âWhen we finish this, we can play with the birthday cake!â Yes, that means I use it as a bribe. And it works! My students have been highly motivated by it!Itâs easy to clean between students with our school-approved spray or wipes since we all live in Covid days and have to think about cleaning all the time.Iâve never had a Melissa and Doug toy, in therapy or with my own kids, that wasnât top notch quality AND a hit with kids…this is no different! Iâm secretly hoping my kids are ready to outgrow their Melissa and Doug toys so I can take them to work and give my students some new toys to play with. Itâs always a blast to introduce new toys to my kids and my students. Melissa and Doug never disappoint!

Perfect gift for any kid.
High quality products. Great colors and designs. My toddler love all toys from this company. No sharp edges. No splinters on the wood. I love wood food toys. Easy to clean. Good Velcro. Easy to pull off. Does have a lot of pieces to keep track of. My daughter sings happy birthday to everyone, including her stuffed animals. I love all their toys, how could you not. They are expensive. This specific toy was on sale. Why I bought it. I probably wouldn’t buy until it was on sale. My daughter got a lot of food toys for Christmas. This company has really thought of everything imaginary. Perfect for counting. Hand eye coordination. We enjoy playing chef or restaurant together. Great toy for a tea party. Perfect gift!!!! Will continue to buy from this company

Really cute wooden play set!
This is such a cute birthday cake set ! Melissa & Doug never disappoints. This wooden play set is made from high-quality wood and is ascetically pleasing as well. The Velcro is sturdy and holds the candles up. It’s perfect for imaginative play and keeps the children busy. It’s nice to have play without all the buttons and sound effects. Wooden play sets like this one motivates children to come up with their own play schemes and encourages them explore at their own pace. Great find!

Very Cute Birthday Gift
This is one of my sonâs favorite toys that he received for his birthday, he can play with it for hours. But he did put the small pieces in his mouth ( only once while I was watching him ) so just beware with children under 3. My son is 2 and usually doesnât put things in his mouth but I think he was trying to play eat and didnât grasp the concept.

Good for 2 year old
A gift for 2 year old. Fun at the stage she got it when she was getting into pretend kitchen play. It has lots of pieces that can be easily scattered. But all in all a good sturdy toy. Will last forever.

Who doesn’t like birthday cake?
We all know and love Melissa and Dough toys. This one was absolutely perfect. Not sure why, but my son is obsessed with birthdays. Singing, blowing out candles, cutting the cake, you name it! He was so excited to open and start cutting pieces to hand out to our family. The candles didn’t stand up as pictured but he didn’t mind. The toppings and center “Happy Birthday sign are removable to add other toppings or additional candles. The tray it comes in is very sturdy and can be reused for other things if you decide you don’t want to keep the cake pieces in there.

Leider kann ich bei diesem mangelnden Produkt, was ich erhalten habe, die ganzen positiven Rezessionen verstehen. Die Farben sind abgesplittert, die Kerzen stehen nicht gerade wie auf dem abgebildetes Foto. Ich rate von Kauf ab.
