While our house is dominated by a plethora of Thomas the Tank Engine, and cars from both Disney Cars movie, we also have a ample supply of quality safe toys made by Melissa and Doug for both of the boys. One of the current favorites is a Melissa & Doug Pizza Party that the boys can stick Velcro condiments on, and then use a wooden pizza cutter to dish out the pies. As I was going through our Christmas stockpile last night (trying to sort out which cars we already have to give), I noticed my wife also has various other Melissa and Doug gifts lined up for the boys this holiday season.
