I bought this for my 1-yr-old son. He doesn’t play much with it. Even my 6-yr-old daughter has difficulty with the belt.

Let me preface by saying that I usually LOVE Melissa and Doug products, and that they are usually well-made and nicely constructed. However, this one misses the boat, because some of the items are simply using cheap materials that are difficult to fasten and unfasten. Quality fasteners would have solved this. (snap, buckle, and belt are the specific items that are difficult for a little one to do — even I have a hard time with the dog-collar styled buckle.)

I usually love Melissa & Doug toys, but I was dissapointed with this one. The button hole is stitched so tightly that it’s hard for toddler-sized hands to put the huge button through it. The belt is also a bit tricky since the holes are close together.
The plus side: it’s a basical skills board and puzzle all-in-one, and it’s fun to “dress”/”undress” the bear.

This is fun for kids to learn new skills. It will keep their hands busy.

This is a beautiful educational toy. Teaches kids snaps, buckles, zippers and ties. After they remove the clothes the bear is in his underware. All in all it is really cute and the kids really enjoy playing with it.
