20% Off Melissa & Doug Toys from Ocado

We all associate Ocado with being a high quality online supermarket with home delivery on our grocery shopping. But did you know that they also sell toys including brands such as Playmobil, Mega Bloks and Sylvanian Families?  Plus at the moment, Ocado have a promotion running on their range of  Melissa & Doug toys with 20% off all purchases made until April 8th!

Melissa & Doug toys are beautifully made, well designed and with a traditional feel that both children and grown-ups will love. They are innovative, fun and educational.

We had a lovely Ocado delivery man bring us some of the Melissa & Doug toys to celebrate the 20% off promotion.  We received a Scoop and Stack Ice Cream Cone Playset, a Habitats Reusable Sticker Pad and a Dinosaur Stamp Set.

Melissa and Doug

The Melissa & Doug Scoop and Stack Ice Cream Cone Playset consists of two wooden cones and a selection of different coloured ice cream scoops with a magnetic scooper.  Little ones will love indulging in some Ice Cream Parlour role play serving up cololurful ice cream combinations.  This is brilliant for their social interaction and also helps develop their fine motor skills.  It is also a great toy to introduce patterns and sequencing as little ones try to make your orders. After they have finished playing, everything packs away into the sturdy, plastic ice cream tub, which is a great idea when it comes to tidying up.  This toy is usually £18.99 but is on offer at £15.19.

The Melissa & Doug Dinosaur Stamp Set is a great activity allowing little dinosaur fans to create pre-historic scenes using the ink pad and eight stampers.  The set also includes coloured pencils, with everything stored in a lovely wooden box with a cool dinosaur design on the side.  Freddy loved the mix of dinosaurs which includes the T-Rex, Stegosaurus and Triceratops and the volcano stamp adds some background to children's designs.  Usually £8.47, with the 20% discount you can buy it for just £6.77.

Melissa and Doug

I love the Habitats themed Melissa & Doug Reusable Sticker Pad!  It comes with five scenes and 150 stickers featuring animals from the farm, prehistoric times, the jungle, the desert and the ocean.  The strong vinyl stickers can be repositioned again and again onto the glossy, full colour backgrounds.   It is an educational activity helping children to learn about different animals and their habitats, but if little ones want to have fun by putting a Diplodocus next to a cow on the farm, then they can!  Anything goes when a child's imagination is put into action.  On sale at just £3.99 this is a bargain that will keep the kids entertained for hours!

With Easter coming up, why not buy a Melissa & Doug toy from Ocado as a gift for someone special?  It will last a lot longer than a chocolate egg!
