 Melissa & Doug...need I say more? May 13, 2007

These are great wood puzzles. To make them a little more user friendly, a light sanding around the edge helped the pieces flow into one another more seamlessly. Great quality however, and the best test is the kid test....it passed!
HUGE hit with my busy little man! December 15, 2007

Another great product from Melissa and Doug. This, and the similar Melissa & Doug Construction Wooden Chunky Puzzle, were my 21-month-old son's first jigsaw puzzles, and he loved them on sight! Because these puzzles are made of thick, sturdy wood, there are some not-completely-smooth edges. No biggie -- I gave them a little buffing with very fine sandpaper and they were fine.
He worked with the puzzle, with a little help from Mom & Dad, until he had literally memorized it and could put it together lightning-fast. Now, at 24 months, he enjoys putting his puzzles together wood-side-up, too, so we're really getting our money's worth with this thing.
One thing to note is that, after much love and enjoyment, the paper is starting to wear at the edges. And my son actually managed to tear some of it off one of the puzzles in a moment of toddler curiosity. However, contact cement pasted the paper back on and all is well again.
The recommended age is 3+, but I think kids much younger than that can enjoy starting to learn how to work jigsaw puzzles. The look of pride when they figure out how to put them together is priceless!
Great "starter puzzle" April 12, 2009

We got this for my son's 2nd birthday - his first real puzzle without chunky pieces or little knobs to hold onto. It took him a week and he could do it all on his own! We then graduated to the M&D 24-pieces, which he learned to do on his own, too. The 24-piecers are a little tough, but it's awesome to watch him figure it out on his own! I would recommend any of their puzzles because at least up to these sizes (haven't used the 48+ pieces yet), they do a great job of making it easy but not TOO easy to see which pieces fit together!

Very nice laminated wooden puzzle - need to take care in first taking it apart because the die cutting is not the greatest and graphic can get torn.
Glad we bought this! April 6, 2009

Bought this for my almost 3-yr. old son a few weeks ago and he absolutely loves this puzzle! Like, that it is made out of wood but unfortunately one of the pieces already broke, when my husband tried to take the pieces apart......
