Melissa & Doug Fold and Go Barn Toy 3700 11.25 x 13.5 x 7

I was disappointed when I opened this product, but from previous reviews I feel ours is not as bad as others. The barn doors have a really bad paint touch up job and the barn doors don't slide easily and are not aligned properly. The dog has very strange colours and the neon goat horns?? Luckily my 2 year old didn't even notice but my 5 year old thought they were weird. Overall the product is not too bad and my toddler is too small to notice paint jobs but, but it is definitely not the usual Melissa and Doug quality. There is no latch to lock it so it will open if you carry it around. I also think it will lead to the main hinge breaking.

. Seven years ago as a first-time-Mom I was overwhelmed by the choices I had when it came to the Play world. With time, walking the trail of trial and errors, I pinned my favorites: Melissa & Doug, Battat, Hape, Magformers, Tegu, Bruder, Alex Toys, Playmobil, Lego, Elenco and a few more. For the board games, those are ThinkFun, Peaceable Kingdom, Smart Games and some classics. The thoughtfully designed and well-made toys and games are not cheap, but they worth the invested money and the benefits are immense. That's the case when we can say: "less is more", for few quality toys will flourish child's development and will have a huge impact on kid's intellectual growth, while the poorly made trinkets will end up in the garbage bin before your kid had outgrown them. During the last years, I bought quite a lot of "Melissa & Doug" - toys, games, playsets, puzzles and costumes and despite having kids that have that common to boys "anything can destroy" gift, "Melissa & Doug" toys still make it through. Pretend play is a very important part of the child's development that brings out creativity, imagination, dexterity, helps to develop motor and social skills. "Melissa & Doug" toys are great educational tools that help kids to develop different skills and raise their intelligence.

Come altri prodotti di questa azienda, anche il fienile fold&go è superlativo! Buona fattura, semplicità, realismo, qualità dei materiali sono i suoi punti chiave! Nipote amante degli animali soddisfatto del regalo

La ferme est très jolie et de bonne qualité. En revanche, elle est arrivée emballée dans un simple papier kraft sans aucune protection ( pas de papier bulle, pas de mousse). Résultat: la plupart des angles de toit sont abîmés. Je renvoie le produit et ne recommanderai pas le même. En plus son prix a augmenté de 9€ depuis ma commande!!!! Lamentable!

I was hesitant to purchase this based on reviews of it being small and people having an issue with the fact that it doesn't latch closed. But despite that, I still wanted to see it for myself, as it looked adorable. It IS adorable. First, the size is perfect...I was pleasantly surprised by how large it was. Plenty of space for little animals and hands but still reasonably easy and light enough for a toddler to carry. And let me assure you that no latch is necessary. If you look at the picture, the barn has 2 handles...one per side (it opens/splits in half). By holding the handles, you are holding it closed. There are several sections or little cubbies/stalls inside the barn, with windows, which is cute. The barn came with 7 small animals - a dog, pig, cow, goat, sheep, horse and turkey. They aren't the top of the line animal figurines, keep in mind, but I didn't buy this for a collection. My toddlers loved them regardless. The set also provides a foldable wooden gate and ladder (for 2nd story stalls), which were so a neat touch. The barn is something special. The quality is very nice and I just adore it's simplicity. I would definitely buy it again and highly recommend. It was a gift to my 3 year old twin girls and they have spent hours playing with it already. My 1 year old also enjoys it. I only wish it came with more animals, but it's still a super toy for the price. It's really great to have simple, imaginative toys like this.
