The Melissa & Doug brand was created by husband and wife founders, Melissa and Doug. Both from families of educators, they have dedicated their 30+ years to developing classically designed toys and products that provide children with an empowering and interactive play experience. At Melissa & Doug, we strive to ignite imagination and wonder in children so they can discover themselves, their passions and their purpose. Our goal is to create thoughtfully designed toys, crafts and games that are launch pads for open-ended thinking.
