My daughter is 3 and is constantly placing the stamps on her body. The ink is not washable and I have to scrub to remove it. I would not recommend for a young child.

My two year old, who loves all things Dora, got these for her birthday. She loves them, of course, and I don't. First, the stamps don't hold the ink very well which makes it difficult for her to use the toy as intended. She would be quite content to just play with the figurines, however, the lids to the stamps pop off quite easily getting red and green ink wherever she is playing. The good news is that the ink does seem to come up from upholstery, carpet and satin finish paint much easier than it even comes off from her. Last night, I ended up supergluing the caps on the stamps and she is just as happy. Even my four year old has difficulties with this toy. I just don't think that this toy fits the Dora target audience-the preschool set.

I have to push down VERY hard to see the stamp on paper, my 3 yr old can't push it hard enough. Crappy design.

My daughter loves these, although the figures are durable, they do not seem to absorb the ink from the ink pad well and therefore the stamps are only so-so. But she loves it, and I guess that is what matters.

I have 5 children under the age of five in addition to ones I babysit or children that visit. All of the children ages 2-5 love to create pictures with the stampers. The ink washes off of the table surface very easily. This toy seems to help the children with eye-hand coordination (taking caps off and placing the caps back on; placing stamps in particular places on paper). This toy also taps into their creative abilities. With markers, crayons, stampers and stickers -- all the children have made beautiful collages. My 4 yr old niece asks to use them everytime she visits.

We purchased these for our 3 year old daughter for Christmas. She loves anything to do with stickers, coloring, cutting, pasting, stamping, etc. The ink on the face shapes do not always turn out well when stamping. Maybe they are not holding the ink correctly. The ink takes a minute or so to dry, so when you get it on the skin, it easily rubs off onto clothes/furniture. I've easily gotten the ink out of clothing w/a normal washing cycle. Getting the ink off skin can take a little work (or a long soak in the tub haha). The lids, so far, havnt been a problem, and have stayed on rather well (easy on/off removal). Probably with normal wear&tear, the little ring around the base that helps it 'click' on will rub thin and then the cap will not stay on. The characters on the stamps seem to be durable so far. If your child/gift receiver is a Dora fan and loves arts & crafts, then this is a wonderful gift.
