If you have a toddler and don't own the Melissa & Doug activity table yet, you're making this harder than it needs to be

If you have a toddler and don’t own the Melissa & Doug Wooden Activity Table with Bead Maze and Abacus yet, you’re making this harder than it needs to be. The bead maze on top keeps little hands busy for genuinely impressive stretches, the abacus beads slide smoothly enough to be satisfying, and the whole thing is sturdy enough that it won’t tip over when a kid leans on it. It’s one of those rare toys that a one-year-old and a four-year-old will both play with — just at different levels. This thing earns its floor space.
