Melissa & Doug
For over 35 years, Melissa & Doug has built its reputation on one idea: simple, well-made toys that spark open-ended, screen-free play. Founded in 1988, the brand is known for sturdy wooden puzzles, pretend-play sets, arts and crafts, and classic toys designed to last and to grow a child’s imagination rather than entertain them passively. The focus has always been value, quality, and design that holds up to real play. At Toys & Co. in Greensboro, we carry Melissa & Doug toys in store and online.
