Ink pads are dry
I usually love Melissa and Doug products but, this time, the ink pads are completely dry. I even added some moisture, and they still are not inky at all.

A great horse stamp kit that horse fans will enjoy
My daughter is an avid horse fan. Anything and everything horses she loves. Additionally, she loves to do arts and crafts, thus, when I saw this product I knew it would be a perfect Christmas gift for her.This was the first thing she grabbed to play with after opening her Christmas presents. This was her first stamp kit and she immediately got into making pictures, drawing barns and stamping horses on the paper to create particular scenes. We have plans to make some cards and use this set so she can personalize her cards to family/friends.The durability of this product seems well built. I really like the wooden box that it comes in. I do wish it had a top for the box, something to at least close in all the pieces when they are put away. The coloring pencils that came with the kit are your basic coloring pencils. My daughter has quite a large collection and I specifically purchased this kit for the horse stamps, so this was only a side item in my purchase. The stamp pad that came with the kit are slightly smaller than I had expected. Though, for her first stamp kit they fit the bill and this is always something that we can purchase in the future when it is needed.Overall, I recommend this product for any individual that is a horse fan and enjoys arts and crafts activities.

Stamps are GREAT, but INK is DRY!
This set was so frustrating for my 3 year old grandson and I to use, as the ink pads were so dry that the stamped images were barely visible! This is true on the other set I bought, Farm Animals. Great stamps, terrible ink pads!

My granddaughter had seen the dinosaur set and just loved it. So we got her the princess set!

Great gift for three year old.
My daughter loves drawing and loves princesses. We got her this for Valentine’s Day and she can open the stamp pad and use it properly without help. She likes to stamp and then use the colored pencils to fill in the stamp or to draw around it. She is very happy with this set and it keeps her entertained for quite a while!

Great Product!
Melissa and Doug products are almost always great and this is no exception. I am really impressed with this stamp set! Everything is always well made and super cute. I love that you can create a scene with all the different stamps. The colored pencils are a nice touch so you can color in what you stamped. My children love these and so do I! As always, my only complaint is the beautiful yet basically useless wooden box that has no lid. I would love to use these really nice wooden boxes to store all of the sets in but we just end up buying other storage solutions and using these for other things. Other than the box issue, I think these are wonderful and I would absolutely recommend these as well as the Melissa and Doug brand overall. I have dealt with their customer service a couple of times and they are beyond praiseworthy. I have always felt like a valued customer by their company.

My kids love it
When the package arrived to me, it was completely torn and all of the stamps were rolling around in the Amazon box. The stamp set includes 6 different dinosaurs/colors and 4 of each. I have a 3 year old and 18 month old and they both love them! And there are plenty for sharing, so no fighting between the two, which is a plus! This would be a great thing to buy to put in goody bags for a dinosaur birthday party. My kids have never played with stamps, and I bought them some bigger, nicer stamps that come with an ink pad for their upcoming birthdays, so this is great for letting them learn how to play with stamps. Overall, this is a hit with my kids, I just wish they didn’t come to me with the box completely ripped up and all of the stamps out of the box. If this were a gift for someone, I would have been pretty upset about that. Good buy!

Disappointing
Gave this to my granddaughter for her 4th birthday today before she left for school. Imagine her disappointment when the stamp pad was completely dried out upon opening it. I have appreciated Melissa and Doug products in the past but this was a big letdown!

Ink is not easily washable
These are nice-looking stamps but are not high-quality stamps. The design of the rubber part of the stamp is very shallow which results in having to press harder on the ink pad to get the ink to stick, but then when you do the whole ink pad gets ink on it. This means when you use the stamp on something you end up having a square of ink around the dinosaur. The colored pencils are a neat idea, but the design of the dinosaurs is so small and detailed that when you stamp them with ink, there ends up not being much space to color the image with the pencils. The ink is horrible and is not as easily washable as it says. When cleaning the stamps, the ink did not come off very well even with using dish soap to scrub the rubber stamp pad. Even after a lot of scrubbing the rubber stamp pad is stained with the ink color and there is still a lot of ink in the crevices of the stamp. I bought separate stamp pads from another company because I wanted more colors and I did not have the same problem with these ink pads. The ink pads I bought were of a high quality and they did not stain and only a little of the ink was left in the crevices. I also ended up with colored fingers and skin from the MD ink even after I cleaned everything up. And unfortunately, my child wanted a stamp tattoo and did so with the blue ink. Even after washing, the ink was stuck on her skin for a while in a big blue smear. I love MD products and have purchased them for many years, but I would not recommend the stamps.

Perfect purchase for my dino loving, crafting three year old
My three year old son loves crafts, and I’m always looking for new stuff for him to do. I bought him these M&D dino stamps as a Christmas gift and they have been a HUGE hit. He will sit at the table for a long time and stamp these (as well as the vehicle stamp set) and be happy as a lark. I like that it comes with a few colored pencils to color in the dinos, and the ink pad so far is holding up well to a three year old’s abuse. He has already stamped blue on top of red on the ink pad, but it hasn’t seemed to really mess with the actual stamping, just stained the ink pad. I would have loved a larger ink pad, especially because for small hands, and a stamp that just fits on the one side. He usually ends up with quite a bit of ink on his hands, but it washes off very easily. These stamps have helped to foster his imagination as we create little scenes, or he stamps dinos one on top another as they “fight.” I feel it is great for his motor skills as well as his creative skills. And I’m a fan of M&D products as a whole.

Good play value, good price value!
This is one of those toys that works best with no directions. I gave this set to my four year old grandson, along with a binder full of prepunched paper of different colors, and let him go. He stamped the paper. He stamped his hands. He stamped his hands and then used his hands to stamp the paper. He made “cards” to give his mother. He made stories with the stamps. He used the colored pencils with OTHER pieces of paper (he had no idea he should be coloring the dinos – no interest there). I picked up a few more stamp pads at JoAnns (I think), but had no trouble getting ink out of anything. I think without supervision he would have stamped the walls and table and everything else – he does love TRex – but we had a talk beforehand about stamping rules. We have an easel and he uses the stamps with that as well.We put them away, and next time he came over, they were in use again. I think the novelty will not wear off for a long time, because he can use his imagination to create new stories and games and cards with the stamps. Well worth the purchase price, and the little box they come in is very handy for keeping the bottom of those stamps where you want them!

Amazing Quality For Such A Reasonable Price!
I purchased this for my daughters 5th Birthday, She will now be 8 in oct. (2020). She has used this stamp sets a lot since, and actually still does. The holder, and the stamps are still in the same condition as when she first used them. Of course we have replaced the ink pad but that’s a given. Even still I’m pretty sure the original pad of ink lasted over a year. The ink was always bright and bold, Never dried out. All the toys she has from Melissa and Doug have held up amazing. They are her favorite toys and I’ve noticed she plays with them the most. This is a great gift for any child especially crafty ones. I am very pleased with this purchase and the value of this set for the reasonable price I paid!

Dry ink pad
First of all I’d like to say that Melissa a Doug products rock, and I always buy their toys for my kids. I was a little disappointed with this set though, when my daughter got it, she immediately wanted to use it, but couldn’t because the stamp pads were completely dry and useless. The stamps themselves look to be high quality, and so I just colored the stamps with markers so she could use the set, but it is a let down to have to buy ink when the ink in the set should have worked. Overall though I think this is a good product for the money, which is why I gave it four stars.

It’s okay
It’s a cute stamp set that my 4 year old loves using. Only con is that the ink isn’t very vibrant. You barely see the image once it’s stamped on paper. Ink cleans off the skin easily.

Should’ve listened to the reviews..
Item is cute and I usually love Melissa and Doug products but the ink in the stamp pad was dried out before my daughter had a chance to play with it. I had to explain that it probably dried out because Santa was stuck in traffic on his way to our house. Smh. I guess I’ll request to replace the whole thing although it would be nice to have an option to just have a new ink pad sent out so I can save the trouble of having to send the original one back after.

great gift for a great girl
Our family got this set of stamps for a girl who of course is a horse lover. She was having spinal surgery with a long recovery in the hospital. She has some gross motor control issues so your typical coloring books and drawing pencils would not be practical for her. These stamps did the trick. They are easy to hold and use. Her mom reported that it really perked her up with her hospital stay. We were given a wondderful thank you card with pretty ponies all over it. If you have a child that is a horse lover or a shild that is needing a different medium to use for arts and crafts this is a good start. Those with tactile sensitivites will like this because the ink in in pads so all they are having to touch it the smooth wood block. Our family is always on the look out for different and creative ways to express ourselves. I am so glad we got this to help someone else express themselves.

Problems with the ink…
I purchased this kit for my 4 year old niece for Christmas. She was not yet familiar with stamps, but she LOVES arts and crafts! Stamps are durable and a fun collectors item – great for multiple craft purposes over one’s lifespan. This is such a cute kit that provides a variety of stamps, pink and purple ink, and colored pencils for coloring in the stamped images. Perfect – right? Almost. I was so disapointed to hear back from my niece that only the purple ink would work and that the pink ink was completely dried up. Small deal to us adults but big deal to a 4 year old. So now the perfect stamp kit is going to keep costing me more time and money as i need to buy a pink refil and additional stamp pads since the pink ink did not work at all. Bummer. Due to this experience i doubt i will be purchasing any more Melissa and Doug ink pads.

Great Gift
As a grandmother, I love Melissa & Doug Rubber Stamps kits. They are in a cute wooden box and stamps are high quality and easy for toddlers to use. What I especially love are the washable stamp pads. This particular set includes color pencils which my granddaughter is starting to use. I got the Disney Princess set because she is very into Disney and at the moment, she is loving the Princesses!

Cute for the creative types
I bought this, because of nostalgic memories of me, sitting and drawing in my room back in the 90s. Neither of my kids enjoyed this set, however it is a really good set and I know that my kids aren’t creative in the art sense. The box that comes in is great for a storage when the stamps are not in use. It’s really cool that it comes with four colours as well as some colour pencils. They’re easy to use and the stamps are a good quality. I really wish it would just come with refill ink for the ink pads.

Love M&D products. Do not love the packaging.
The media could not be loaded.
My daughter absolutely loved this product. I love this brand, we are always happy with their quaility. That being said, the packaging/storage for a lot of the items is lacking. For example, this set comes in a nice wooden organizer but there is no lid. You either have to have store it open on a flat surface or transfer it to another container. It just kind of frustrates me as I would prefer to keep it in its organized wooden box. I cannot do that tho, as my daughter will spill it immediately. I have unfortunately had this issue with a few of M & D products. It is the only Con I ever really have.I have attached a picture of how each stamp looks in both colors and the color of the pencils when used on white paper.

Very nice horse stamp set
This is such a nice stamp kit. It comes with everything you need (except paper) to get stamping. The stamps look really well made and they’re wooded, so they will stand up to a lot of play. My four year old granddaughter loves everything horses. She’ll flip when she sees this set.
