When it comes to quality kids toys, few brands are more ubiquitous than Melissa & Doug. Launched by a husband and wife (and parents of six!) back in 1988, their thoughtfully made Montessori-approved toys have entertained our kids for approximately eleventy billion hours. As such, they’re an absolute home run when it comes to holiday gift giving.
