Melissa and Doug make some of the best children’s toys. They are sturdy and last a long time, and they withhold resale value. This one is no different. My son would get so excited about the advent tree. He’s only 1 so he had trouble understand one a day. Sometimes I would catch him hiding behind the bed to play with it. My only wish was that there was a better way to store the ornaments, I just have them in a plastic bag.
