Product Description
Geography comes to life in this jumbo-sized floor puzzle, featuring 51 shape-cut pieces of the states. Heavy-grade cardboard pieces are coated on both sides for added durability. Kids will have fun learning the states on this colorful, informative map puzzle.
The puzzle was a birthday gift for my 3 year old granddaughter. It has bright colors and I love the fact that the pieces are in the shapes of the states. She has learned several states already. It also helps her visualize which states her cousins live in.
You have got to be kidding me right? They are selling this product as educational??? I am from Michigan and once again Michigan is not represented correctly. I don't know what the yellow blob is suppose to be, but it is part of Michigan. It is called the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and this map only has the lower peninsula blocked off as Michigan. Please don't buy this puzzle.
My 3 year old son loves this puzzle, but does get frustrated sometimes because the state pieces are mostly all separated at the state line. I actually prefer that the state pieces are separated at the state line.
He loves flying and loves to show with a model plane where he has been on the puzzle. I think my son at 3 has flown more than I did till I was 30.
My son loves all the Melissa & Doug floor puzzles.
I think this is a great puzzle. It is a good learning tool and also fun to put together! I bought it for my 2 1/2 year old grandson....
It's a good puzzle to teach kids where the states are, especially since the pieces aren't interlocking like a normal puzzle. It's fun and educational.
We used this puzzle in conjunction with The Scrambled States of America to help my second grader learn the names of the US states. This puzzle has well constructed pieces, and big pieces. Each states is its own piece (almost). With the "Scrambled States of America" each state had a personality. My son would then use the pieces in this puzzle to act out the characters. It made a topic, memorizing the names of the USA states, usually a boring task, into a fun enjoyable activity.
The puzzle was beautifully made ---sturdy, thick pieces that fit together nicely. It should prove to be quite useful to my [...] grand daughter who is learning about the states. The best part was its size -- quite large when put together. It was a hit!!
My 2 1/2 year old likes this because the pieces are big. It's impossible to work with unless on a hard surface, especially since the states don't click into eachother (but I like the fact that they are the real state shapes). As long as you have a big hard surface to do the puzzle on, it's very nice.
We've had this puzzle for 2 years and my 4 y.o. continues to enjoy putting this puzzle together with assistance. The pieces slide around easily and initially caused frustration. Tip: Put the border (interlocking) pieces together first and then fill in the states (non-interlocking pieces). We enjoy driving across America with little cars and learning about the states. I wouldn't recommend this puzzle for independent use for younger children. Highly recommend the puzzle to be completed with adult for tons of fun and learning.
I agree with the person who said it needs a cardboard backing or border. Since the puzzle is so large and it doesn't interlock, the pieces move when my son adds a state which makes him angry--he is not yet 3. I have to hold down the pieces when he adds the states and if I'm not available to help he gets frustrated. In addition, because some of the pieces are so large (oceans and texas) they tend to warp more than Doug and Melissa's other floor puzzles.
The puzzle's saving grace is my son has learned all states in a week.
