The seams appear to have been poorly sewn. The seams on this toy are weak and didn't last just being carried around for even a week. It was sadly stitched on the belly and had a dirty paw.
It closes with a secure velcro flap.
This is another well made toy from them that is very pleasing. The toys stand up to heavy use and the play value is always spot on.
It all folds up neatly into the flat, small, handled case. It fits in a backpack or carry on, though it's a touch bulky.
The set comes with two magnetic sheets that are chock full of colorful, adorable fish. The 50+ magnetic pieces are cartoonish fairy tale figures and colorful shapes. The whiteboard activities are all educational.
Melissa & doug natural playbook is really fun and well thought out. Perfect for autumn and springtime. Creates opportunities for imagination, partner play, and problem-solving.
