This was a cute idea, however the product is not made very well. The stamps are on squares of rubber w/ adhesive backing. The backing doesn't hold all that well and some have peeled off/fell off on occasion, the stamp characters aren't raised off their base very high and the ink isn't very... potent. So when you try for ink on the stamp you need to work to coat the ink on and when you stamp, you have to press so hard to get the character to fully transfer. When you press hard enough to do so, you get a back ground of the square stamp on your paper from the base stamping the paper. My 4 year old daughter isn't interested in using them as stamps as they "didn't work"; however she frequently likes using them as wood blocks for building things. Overprice for underquality.

My grand son turns 4 next month. I purchased these stamps to help him learn his alphabet while having fun at the same time. He loves it! It makes for great interaction with the adults, also. Very well constructed and easy to use.

My granddaughter loves to play school and this stamp set is a big hit. She has quiet time in her room and has a great time with this. She received this in the summer between 1st and 2nd grade which was a good time for her to use this independently.

My 23 month-old loves it. It helps him learn the letters & motor skills to holding these and stamping. However, wish the stamp pad was a little bit bigger. It's hard to control which color since the swatch is barley larger than the size of each stamp, and everything comes out almost black from mixing of the colors.

This toy is well made as I would expect from a Melissa & Doug product. It is also a wonderful, fun educational toy. My grandchildren love them and they are learning while having fun!!!
