Customer Reviews

A great first puzzle for toddlers
I love this puzzle! It's beautiful, the pieces fit perfectly, and it is easy for my daughter to figure out. The large knobs make the pieces easy to grasp, and the fact that the picture is painted on the piece and on the board makes it easy to match the puzzle pieces. My daughter plays with it all the time, and it's one of her favorite puzzles. The pieces are big too, so they're easy to keep track of, unlike smaller puzzle pieces that get lost or sucked up in the vacuum.

The only thing I found is that it is important to watch your child play with the puzzle until they're out of the "gnawing" stage. My daughter gnawed off the top picture of the chicken and sheep so that makes me sad since the painting is done by hand, and the pictures are so nice. So now I can only let her play with it supervised, until she stops gnawing everything in sight.

Puzzle is not solid wood
The description of this puzzle says, "solid wood" It's not! It's 2 layers of composite board glued to plywood. The fibers easily scrape off along the edges and can be ingested by your child. The pictures are a laminate overlay that can easily be peeled off. Not a great puzzle if you child is still putting toys in his or her mouth.

Wood back almost instantly peeled
My daughter (13 months) received this toy as a present and really loved playing with it. It's very educational and I loved the wood structure of it. But in just a couple of days the back of the main wood frame started peeling leaving raw edges on the surface and sides. Just what you would need to get a splinter. So now we don't use the board any more. But my daughter still continues to play with the removable pieces.
