Customer Reviews

These are real good for kids
I bought this for my niece who is 5 yrs old.

Pros:It is big and easy to organize and read the letters and the board itself is thick enough that it will not get torn apart by kids easily.
Cons: It lists only continents and not countries.For the size it is, it would have been better if it listed countries.

I wouldn't buy it again.
This is a nice, big puzzle with large pieces. The thing I mainly don't like is that only a few of the pieces are jigsaw-type (interlocking), the majority are just slide-together. This is very frustrating to my two children because the puzzle is always moving around and the pieces constantly have to be repositioned. I wish the country names had been included, but it's also nice to keep it simple for the very young child who just might want to learn the continents. I paid a lot more for this puzzle than what is being asked here, and I would not buy it again. Melissa and Doug also makes a wooden world map puzzle, which might be better.

Not our favorite
Melissa and Doug make great floor puzzles for kids. This one however is a rare miss. Really, the only drawback is that the pieces aren't made to fit together snuggly unless they are surrounded by other pieces, which is a problem for kids. It's very durable and colorful but I'd probably go with another option if I had one.
