  • Melissa and Doug have the BEST products!

    I purchased some Melissa and Doug puzzles for my 4 year old from Ozsale. I needed some puzzles for her that were a bit higher in difficulty and I wanted some that were wooden so they would last and not get bent (or chewed up by the baby)

    I have used Ozsale before, and when I purchased these puzzles from them they did take awhile to receive (about 3.5 weeks) but I have since purchased from Ozsale and their shipping speed has greatly improved.

    Melissa and Doug have fabulous quality items, my daughter also received a magnetic dress up doll for her birthday - it is one of her most played with presents.

  • Wonderful Product for Little Creative Hands

    After seeing this product, and reading the reviews, as an Early Years teacher I just knew I had to try it out. I love the stamps, the designs are just adorable, and can be used to tell stories, make designs, learn about mirror imaging and colour- so versatile in Kindergarten classrooms, as well as in the home. Any product that has an intrinsic 'pull' like this is going to foster creativity in children.

  • Qaulity gift

    After purchasing a set of these stamps for my kindergarten kids, they were such a hit that i decided to buy them for my 8 year old niece. She also absolutely loved them. They are so simple to use, both pre-school and older children can use them. Easy to setup and clean which is important for busy households. Definitely recommend them as the perfect gift!

  • great for a rainy day

    Got our stamps out a few times this weekend, being wet horrible weather I was looking for inside activities.

    Couldn't believe my 2 yr old son played with them for over half an hr, he is normally on the go all the time and doesn't spend long at an activity but he's really enjoying these stamps and naming all the different animals and asking about them all.and my 4 year old was grouping them into zoo animals and farm animals really great for both their ages!

  • Cute

    I did not get excepted for this review. But went out and purchased two Melissa & Doug stamp sets for my niece and nephew. They both had a ball playing with there sets. Just the right size for young hands to use. So easy to store and put away. The non toxic washable stamp pad made clean up a breeze.

  • Top quality toy

    I find Melissa & Doug toys to be of very high quality, and definitely worth the investment. My daughter used this stamp set at a friends house last week and it kept the two kids amused for ages. It has stood the test of time, and isn't flimsy like some other brands. We own several other Melissa & Doug toys, and have never been disappointed by their quality or design.

    I can't currently see this item for sale through OZSALE, but I have bought other items through them. Hassle-free transactions, easy delivery, and great bargain prices. Certainly worth a search on their site to see what their current sales are, and I'm hoping they will stock this brand on sale again soon.

  • Melissa and Doug products great educational products

    My niece and grandchildren love Melissa and Doug products and so do I, they seem to be an old fashioned toy that requires imagination, they are well made and economically priced. They are a toy that is enjoyable to spend time with your children and I keep some puzzles aside for those days when we have horrid weather as time flies when playing with these and it is refreshing to see children playing with something that does not have a screen attached. love these toys and should be more of them.

  • Love Melissa and Doug

    My mum introduced me to Melissa and Doug products. I love their durability and the fact that they are wooden toys. My little girls first puzzle was a Melissa and Doug farm puzzle and zoo puzzle. Even now, at 3, she will still happily sit down and play with her Melissa and Doug products.

    They are long lasting...most things are getting handed down to her little brother now.

  • Love It!

    We bought a Melissa and Doug stamp set awhile ago - the vehicles one and my boys love it. I find that M & D products are so well made. We have a puzzle as well which is such thick wood and also a car carrier which is fantastic. The stamp set is so easy for little ones to use and keeps them occupied for ages. Keep an eye on them though as my two have been known to stamp everything!

  • great entertaining activity

    My 2 year old son loves this. He's into stamps and I love how easy it is for him to use while I watch over him. The ink takes a little scrubbing to get off but other than that, it's very good. I bought a couple of them to put away as gifts for other kids too

  • Quality and colourful product for chidlren to play with

    I love wooden durable toys for kiddies which take things back to the old school, before computer screens, its interactive craft and art that you are more likely to hang on the wall and show pride in your children and aids building a positive relationship.

  • Be prepared to wait

    I often buy things from Ozsale as they genuinely offer discounts for top quality items. Melissa & Doug are synonymous with high quality products, but are often out of my price range for presents etc., so this is a match made in heaven. My only criticism is for Ozsale (and to be fair, they state this clearly on their website); once you order from them, it often takes more than 3 weeks for your order to arrive. If you have an upcoming party or event that you are buying something for, make sure it is MORE than a month in advance. Organisation is the key.

  • Always impressed with Melissa and Doug

    I have bought and received numerous Melissa and Doug products over the years and i have never been disappointed. The only thing which is a shame is that we don't have more of the products available here in Australia. Although a bit dearer than other toys you really get what you pay for.

Article ‘I Grabbed My Car Keys And RAN!’ The New Supermarket Bread Everyone’s Talking About

‘I Grabbed My Car Keys And RAN!’ The New Supermarket Bread Everyone’s Talking About

Mum-of-two Rebecca McCracken has spent the last four years reading ingredient lists on pretty much everything she buys at the supermarket.

Like many parents raising kids with food allergies, a quick trip to the supermarket often means checking labels, comparing products and hoping to find something the whole family can eat.

Bec’s four-year-old son and 17-month-old daughter were both born with cow’s milk protein allergy. While her son has since outgrown his allergies, her toddler still reacts to dairy, making even everyday staples like bread a challenge.

“Unless we buy expensive sourdough for seven or eight dollars, we don’t really have a choice.”

Even then, it’s not ideal.

“A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich,” Bec laughs. “And fairy bread on sourdough is not great.”

A New Loaf On The Block

Bec runs an online community for allergy families, so she spends plenty of time sharing recipes, product finds and supermarket discoveries with other parents.

It was one of those parents who first told her about new JUST bread.

“A follower messaged me and said, ‘Oh my gosh, this bread is coming soon.’ I was like, ‘Where? When? I need to know. I’m getting my car keys and running!'”

Made with baker’s flour, water, yeast, vinegar, oil and salt, JUST bread contains no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours.

For Bec, it sounded almost too good to be true. “When we saw JUST bread, I was like, ‘You’re joking.’ A bread that’s fresh baked but in the bread aisle? That’s unheard of for us.”

“It was really exciting for our family and for the allergy community.”

The Family’s Toughest Critic Approved

Of course, there was one person whose opinion mattered more than anyone else’s.

“My toughest critic is my daughter. She is so fussy. We know something is really good if she approves it, and she approves it. She loves it. She’ll eat it plain, toasted, as French toast … whatever. She loves it.”

Bec says she was impressed too.

“I like it. I like that it’s only got minimal ingredients and doesn’t have the additives and preservatives that are in a lot of other brands.”

A Simpler Option For Everyday Families

Bec tried out JUST bread because of her family’s allergies, but she says it has a broader appeal.

“I think everyone is becoming more conscious of additives and preservatives in their food.”

It’s a feeling many of us can probably relate to. We don’t all want to overhaul the way we eat, but plenty of us are paying a little more attention to ingredient lists and looking for products that keep things simple.

Bread is one of those foods that’s always around. It ends up in lunchboxes, on the breakfast table, alongside soup on a cold night and covered in hundreds and thousands at birthday parties. When we eat something that often, it’s only natural to wonder what’s in it.

JUST bread keeps things simple with a handful of pantry ingredients and no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours. It’s the sort of loaf that fits easily into busy family life without asking us to compromise on taste or convenience.

Little Changes, Big Difference

 

For Bec, finding a loaf of bread her whole family can enjoy is about more than ticking another item off the shopping list.

“It seems like such a little thing to the normal community, but for us this is a massive win.”

Being able to make sandwiches without worrying about ingredients. Packing lunchboxes a little more easily. Bringing back fairy bread for birthdays. Sometimes it’s the little things that make family life feel a whole lot simpler.

And while Bec found JUST bread because she needed another allergy-friendly option, its simple ingredient list is likely to appeal to plenty of other families too. After all, when we can choose everyday foods made with ingredients we recognise, that’s a pretty good place to start.

JUST Bread is made on a line that also processes soy and sesame.

Mouths of Mums is proudly working with JUST. to bring you this article. JUST bread is made with just a handful of pantry ingredients.  JUST. The Good Stuff.

  • I am so glad to hear about this and will definitely be on a look out for this in the supermarket. I have noticed that there are starting to be more ‘cleaner’ products in the supermarket, meaning consumers are being heard. We are going full circle back to how foods use to be produced before companies got greedy and started taking shortcuts to producing food items. I hope we continue seeing more preservative and additive free options that are affordable come back in the supermarkets.

  • Grabbing your car keys and running for a bread ?? I can’t imagine doing so for a bread lol ! It’s nice to see that more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and put on the market.
    I don’t agree with the statement that “A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich”. It depends on what type of bread you introduce to your kids. My kids grew up with 7 seeds, rustic bread and sourdough and they love it. It’s also quite easy and cheap to make sourdough bread yourself.

    Reply

  • I haven’t seen this bread in the supermarket but will be looking for it now. I have been trying to avoid preservatives and additives for some time now and as highlighted in the article bread it difficult to find, or super expensive, without them so I don’t have it often.

  • This is fantastic, finally a bread that is not full of nasty stuff. I will be going straight out to buy this. My son has ARFID and will only eat white bread, but it’s not terribly healthy. With this bread, at least I know that it is much healthier than the alternatives. Woohoo

  • what about gluten is it gluten free thats what i need

    Reply

  • I cant wait to give this bread a go (so far its always been sold out at my local woolies so it must be good). So good its suitable for those with allergies too. I think nowadays were all looking for cleaner options of ingredients in our foods so this is a step in the right direction.

  • I am glad more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and offered. I don’t agree with Bec’s statement that kids don’t like sourdough bread. My kids were introduced to sourdough and the most rustic and seeded breads from the time they started to eat bread, and they love it

  • Oh I cannot wait to try this bread! We go through that much bread each week and I always feel so guilty with how much my kids have – not anymore! Would love to see them introduce other variants in the future – multigrain and gluten free would be superb!

    Reply

  • This is such a great product that I’m looking forward to trying! I’ve only been buying bread from bakeries the last few years because grocery store bread texture was so dense and unpleasant. But the hassle with bakery bread is I can’t get it everywhere! I’ll be really keen to give this a go
