Product Information

We are pleased to tell you that YES, Melissa & Doug products are compliant with the CPSIA regulations. Since our founding, we have had a comprehensive testing program in place for all of the products we produce and sell. Our testing programs are in compliance with the U.S. consumer product safety regulations, and we will continue to stay compliant even as some of these laws evolve and change. For right now, don’t worry about the future, let’s focus on today, as we take a closer look at My Magnetic Daily Calendar in this edition of our Toy Spotlight blog! Enjoy everyday updates with My Magnetic Daily Calendar!

Playful Details: The magnetic daily calendar displays day of the week, date, weather, and special events. Includes a pair of fabric-hinged dry-erase boards—one with calendar template, one blank for magnet storage. Comes with 80 magnets including years, months, numerals for dates, days of the week, holidays, special events, and emotions. A sturdy cord is attached for hanging. Encourages communication and a reassuring expectation about the events in a child's life. In August 2008, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) made a number of changes to consumer product safety laws in the USA. Under this law, the amount of total lead allowed in children’s products was gradually reduced. Effective August 14, 2011 no children’s product may contain more than 100 parts per million (ppm) total lead. The lead content of any surface coating is limited to 90 ppm. Preschoolers can generally understand basic time concepts such as “now,” “before,” “later” and “after.” But calendar play helps them develop and understand abstract and long-range temporal concepts: today, tomorrow, next week, in April, a year from now, etc. Playing with My Magnetic Daily Calendar in particular also helps teach kids important primary skills such as new vocabulary words, number recognition and sequencing, pattern recognition, new holidays and important dates, fine motor skills, early reading and writing, preparing for upcoming events, and even helps with social-emotional development when you discuss your child’s mood each day! As kids reach their toddler age and stage, they start to exert more control over their own lives, and our Magnetic Daily Calendar is a great toy to help them develop more of an understanding about the world they live in. What day of the week is it, and what’s going on today? What month is grandpa’s birthday? When is my show & tell day at school? How’s the weather outside today? And how are you feeling about your doctor’s visit on Friday? All the answers can be found right here!Melissa & Doug Magnetic Daily Calendar is the perfect way to display every day! Kids will feel a greater sense of control and responsibility when they help post the day of the week, date, weather, and special events on the large magnetic board for all to see. Skills at Play: Fine motor; time management; organization; social-emotional development; letter and number recognition; early reading

I’ve been roped into playing student to a five-year-old teacher and I can confirm that the set does indeed help kids learn to give directions. If she’d give me the chance to be the teacher, maybe I’d see her learning how to follow them as well as I do! This activity certainly helps foster creativity and communication skills, or in laymen’s terms, mess-making and bossiness (err, assertiveness)!

Let me just start by saying I love this calendar. It’s sturdy, [has] bright colors and [is] easy to read. I bought it for my 2-year-old and she loves it. She gets up in the mornings and changes the weather right away. It gets her excited. I love that it has a way to just hang it instead of mounting it to a wall. It can be moved around easy. The actual calendar [is] wood with magnet board. It has options to change the months, dates, day of the week, seasons, weather, holidays, activities and how I feel today. I’ve bought many Melissa & Doug products before and this is one is one of my favorites. I highly recommend this product for your kiddos.”
