 Excellent toy! December 10, 2007

The pieces are like a laminate material and are very, very durable- they've been stepped on, spilled on, and thrown. The connections haven't broken or even chipped, and are so sturdy that the puzzle can be done on carpet. Each puzzle is marked with a symbol on the back (circle, square, triangle, diamond) so you know which puzzle is which; now that my son is four, he loves mixing up all the pieces and then puts the puzzles together. The box is also very sturdy, and is seperated into four spaces. It has sliding cover on which you can do the puzzles. The top of the box doesn't have the pictures on them, but that never posed a problem. An excellent toy- I plan on giving the dino set to my nephew this year.

I got this puzzle-in-box set and the Vehicles In a Box set, and my son likes them both. The construction vehicle pictures really delight him. He can work harder puzzles than these, but he enjoys these for those times when he wants less thinking and quick results.
Each of the completed puzzles measures only about 5X7 inches.
If you buy more than one of these boxed sets, here's a heads-up. Each set uses the same four shapes, stamped in red, on the backs of the four puzzles. This makes sorting harder when two sets get mixed together. We added a black mark to the backs of one set to make it different.
Also, the two sets that I bought were cut identically, so that the pieces are interchangeable between puzzle sets. For example, both puzzles stamped with circles on the backs have the same exact shaped pieces.

My near 3yo son loves doing these four puzzles over and over again. He needs a little help sometimes but prefers to do it on his own. The pictures are very nice and it's a great jigsaw puzzle for preschoolers. It's a good first puzzle, but also difficult enough to enjoy for a while. This set is a great value!

The manufacturer suggests an age range of 3 years and up, but I gave my son these puzzles when he was 22 months old and he figured them out pretty quickly. Two months later, he's still fascinated by them. He now has the vehicle puzzle set and the construction puzzle set and spends long periods of time every day assembling and then re-jumbling them.
There are many levels of play possible with these puzzles. At first, I put the puzzles together while he watched. Soon, he was putting one puzzle together, after I'd separated the pieces of only that one puzzle out for him. Then he started breaking up all four 12-piece puzzles, jumbling up all 48 total pieces and assembling them again. Then he became fascinated with putting the puzzle pieces away in their little compartments. He's so proud of mastering these skills that he shows them off to every visitor. And now that he's memorized the puzzles, he puts them together as fast as I can!
Even if you think jigsaw puzzles might be a little hard for your toddler, I encourage you to try these. The feeling confidence the little ones get from understanding and mastering them is a great boost for them -- and their parents!

Bought this for my 4 year old grandson and he loves it. He is a heavy equipment fan but he also is fond of puzzles so this combined the two and made for a good birthday present. 4 seperate puzzles and their own seperate storage box with 4 compartments, plus each puzzle is marked on the back with symbols such as stars, squares, diamonds etc. this way you can seperate them when they get mixed without having to put the whole puzzle together. GOOD IDEA!
