Melissa and Doug Plush Dragon

Ages 3 years and up…

Being Saint David’s day seemed to be a good day to kick off a site about dragons and what better way than my favourite stuffed dragon, the Melissa and Doug Plush Dragon.

We bought this dragon for my little daughter at Christmas, he’s now called Dave and he’s big enough for a three year old to ride (sorry I mean fly) around the living room. He’s pretty solid and well put together and I’m sure he’ll put up with a lot of roughie toughie play. The colours and the fabric texture are really gorgeous and he’s (or is he a she) a real eye-catcher.

All Amazon reviews to date look excellent, there is one about wires poking out though, so I’d take the trouble to investigate (just in case there is a problem) if you were to buy one. However I’m sure it’s just a spurious poster as everything we’ve bought from Melissa and Doug is excellent.

Further to the wire there is now a picture on the Amazon site of a wire poking out of the foot, I’d be hard presseed to recommend the item now, but we’ve not had any problems with our Dave.

UPDATE – Our Dave is still fettling up well, no pokey wires or anything despite being ridden vigorously around the living room carpet.
