There is no storage cover!!!
»
The following quoted phase from the manufacturers product description is NOT true:
Stored in a durable, handy wood tray "with a clear sliding top".
The product while excellent does not come with any form of cover. It came as a cellophane wrapped wooden tray with nothing to keep everything in all the cubby holes once that wrapping was removed. So it will need to be kept out of reach on a flat surface when not being used.

Good for older kids
»
I bought this for my 3 yr old niece who loves to put together things like this but she would have had more fun if it was just shapes I think. The product overall is great and it is educational if you want to teach your child how to spell their name or mommy. Thats what we did.

Stores conveniently? I disagree.
»
The description states "stores conveniently". In my opinion, it is not convenient to have hundreds of beads in a shallow box with no lid. I really like Melissa and Doug toys, but lately I've been buying a lot of little storage containers for my various Melissa and Doug toys. It's getting expensive and time consuming. I just wish these things would come with a sliding piece of plastic or a cardboard box. Something to contain the contents.

TONS of FUN
»
We recently gave this set to a family friend on her sixth birthday - they have raved about what fun it is! Both the little girls and her three year old brother have played with the beads and had a great time - it kept them occupied for a LONG time, too! Mom says it's great for dexterity and for learning shapes, colors, and letters.
