5 out of 5 stars very nice and fun puzzles   March 9, 2010
Oana Tudusciuc (Pasadena, CA)
Granted, they were a little smaller than I thought, but they are a real treat. My 2 year old loves them, dinosaurs are anyway an all-time favorite, and they have been in constant use since we got them. After a week of playing though, one piece of a puzzle cracked (my daughter stepped on it in the excitement), and I glued it with crazy glue, but not sure it's going to actually hold.
Other than that, the colors are beautiful, the details and complexity of the scenes are adequate for a 2 to 5 year old, and I love that you can make other games with these puzzles (sort them based on the shape that's drawn on the back of each piece).

All in all, I highly recommend it.

I bought this puzzle set for my 4 year old son and 2 year old daughter. The 4 year old can, on his own, assemble the puzzles. My 2 year old daughter does it with lots of help. The point of puzzles is to develop spatial reasoning skills and the Melissa & Doug puzzles are a good choice because the colors are sharp and the animals have interesting details. Would highly recommend this product to parents who are looking for a great educational and fun toy for their kids!

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my 2 and 3 year olds. It is a little advanced for my 2 year old, but my 3 year old loves it and plays with it almost every day. They are true jig-saw puzzles, so they are challening, but small enough that they aren't too hard. My 2 year old did chew on one and it stood up to her pretty well.

The first few times I brought out these puzzles, the kids weren't really sure what to do. But now that they have the hang of them, they love them! My daughter has even figured out how to sort them back into their puzzle box (each puzzle has a different shape on the back for easy clean up).

I love how everything can be stored neatly in the box.

My twins just turned 3, to give you a better idea on their age.



5 out of 5 stars A big hit with the 3 year old   December 31, 2009

This is the first puzzle my granddaughter has received that does not have a picture underneath as a guide. I wanted her to have a challenge and she loved it. I spent some time on Christmas Day helping her to solve the puzzles and she put them together over and over again. She is also very careful to put the pieces in the correct compartment and to slide the cover in place. This puzzle design makes it easy to keep the pieces where they belong. I thought the size and the design was fantastic!
