 Great puzzle. January 28, 2009

We purchased several of these puzzles for our 3 year old son. He loves them. The pieces are large and sturdy. We like that each state and Canadian province is its own piece. It's a great way for kids to learn geography and develop spatial coordination. We have all of the continents that are available. We highly recommend.
Very pleasantly surprised. May 18, 2010

I picked up this toy for my three year old knowing that he likely wouldn't be able to do it or wouldn't have the interest. Little did I know that it would become his FAVORITE puzzle. He has been working 100 piece ones for some time, so the number of pieces wasn't a big deal. And he can put the pieces together all by himself and really only needs help with the Eastern states as they are smaller. I am in awe of how much he likes to talk about the states and Canada as he puts the puzzle together, and how he is always asking to work it. And once it is together, he LOVES talking about where family and friends live and where he has traveled to. The puzzle itself is very durable and I like how the shapes fit together pretty well and are realistic in size (the territories in Canada being huge over the states, and the states are various sizes). Overall, a very neat puzzle and I am excited to try another by this company.

Albeit, my 4½-year-old son already loves puzzles. I wanted him to have fun while teaching him at the same time. After our first "puzzle lesson" he could already remember specific things about at least 10 states or Canadian provinces, like New Brunswick catches a lot of lobsters. Of course he loved constructing the puzzle more than learning, but he got the hang of it and was asking me after picking up each new piece, "what does this piece do mama?" Meaning, he wanted me to tell him what was special about that state or province. Cute fun!
Great Learning tool and fun. January 4, 2010

Well, It's a puzzle. No batteries, no tv, or cartridge required. My kids enjoy video games like most kids, inasmuch we occasionally force on them an educational toy of sorts. This is one that they both enjoy (they are 7 and 8).
The puzzle itself, is of what Id gander is a high quality/density cardboard. Whats particularly nice about it is a majority of the pieces are often a country, state or territory (depending on which puzzle you are doing. We have several of these).
Aside from the enjoyment most kids get out of doing a puzzle, questions arise out of them in which i know they are learning. "Dad, there are two Washingtons?" "What does D.C. stand for?", "Alaska is one of the biggest states isn't it" and so on....
Though they are not exactly cheap for a typical puzzle, in my opinion you are getting your moneys worth for what the kids walk away with. A better understanding of the world we live in.
Educational, colorful, and fun February 10, 2010

My 6 year old son loves this puzzle. The pieces are thick and colorful, for the most part cut on state/province lines. I'd greatly recommend it for kids just learning the states and Canadian provinces. Older kids might not find it as interesting.
The only downside that I've found is that one of the outer ocean pieces has a narrow area. My son bent this piece slightly sideways while assembling the puzzle, and now it's beginning to tear. If your kids are really rough on their toys, you may end up gluing/taping this single piece back together after a month or so. We've not had a problem with the durability of any of the other pieces.
Overall, very educational, fun for kids who like puzzles.
