Six year old loves this set. Grandma writes a story leaving blanks on the plain paper for her to stamp in the correct picture to complete the story. She can also write stories using the pictures for her book. Would like to have more colors of ink for the books but two are enough to start.

This stamp set is the toy in CONSTANT use by my two daughters, ages 2 and 4. Each stamp is either an animal, plant, sun, barn or something like that, so the stamps can be combined to make little stories. The girls like to stamp and then color each one on their paper. The set comes with two pads, one red, one blue. That's plenty it seems. They have used the pads over and over and both are still perfectly wet. The stamps are high quality rubber mounted on wood, so they are very durable and make a nice clear impression. They are easy for little ones to hold, and yet older children love them too because they allow for lots of imaginative play. I highly recommend this item, as well as most of the other Melissa and Doug toys.

My 4-yr old daughter received this set for Christmas & loves it. The ink is washable too, so that's a plus! However, my daughter wanted more ink colors to choose from (it comes with 2) so I ended up buying other colors seperately. Overall, a great *quiet time* activity set.
