Whether it’s a Melissa & Doug grocery store, or a Melissa & Doug puzzle, the brand can basically do no wrong when it comes to baby and toddler toys

However, those toys are not exactly cheap. 

We don’t know exactly why, but whether it’s a sticker book or a kid-size play ice cream cart, Melissa & Doug’s superpower as a company seems to be making toys that kids are obsessed with. It might be because the couple (yep, they’re actually named Melissa and Doug) are parents to not two, not four but six children, which means that they have had access to product testers in every age group. (In a future story, we’ll be hitting them up for time-management tips.) Of course, quality this high doesn’t come cheap, so we’ve rounded up the latest markdowns on splurgy items.
