This is my entire experience with Melissa and Doug. I went from disappointment to complete satisfaction so please read the full review. After more than 25 years in the industry , the Melissa and Doug range has grown enormously to include quality products that kids of all ages - from babies and toddlers through to 8 years and older - can learn and enjoy. Melissa and Doug® - a well-known and respected wooden toy manufacturer in the USA - has now come to Australia, and we are proud to bring you a large range of their quality products at competitive prices. In August 2008, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) made a number of changes to consumer product safety laws in the USA. Under this law, the amount of total lead allowed in children’s products was gradually reduced. Effective August 14, 2011 no children’s product may contain more than 100 parts per million (ppm) total lead. The lead content of any surface coating is limited to 90 ppm. So, What's up with the 6? Was this intentional or an oversight? It has the line, but it can be put in place to read 9. If you dont'know what the underline means, it can be confusing. I know a hexagon has 6 sides, so it makes SOME sense, but I think I would have preferred a shape that forces the number into the correct orientation. WITH a parent looking over them, it's fine and an opportunity to teach the 6/9 distinction, but rare is the mother that can micromanage a child's play to that level.
