Product Description
Can you find a home for these different shapes' Toddlers will love this super-sized, solid-wood puzzle with chunky half-inch-thick pieces -- it's the perfect first puzzle. Extra-large knobs make it easy for small hands to play with each brightly colored puzzle piece. Matching full-color pictures are hiding underneath each piece. Measures 15.5"H x 12"W x 1.5"D.
my 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 year old sons both enjoy this puzzle. good for working on motor skills, teaching colors and shapes.
When I decided to introduce my kids to puzzles at around 16 months, I wanted something simple, safe, and educational. This fit the bill, and has been a wonderful toy that my kids seem to enjoy more and more. I like that each of the pieces will only fit in its own space - a simple idea, but a flaw I have found with many puzzles on the market. The pieces are hefty and durable, and the knobs are easy for my kids to handle. My kids are still in the habit of chewing on toys occasionally, and I've noticed just a little bit of peeling of the color on the pieces - if your child really gnaws on his/her toys still, this may not be the right toy yet. My kids have learned the basic concept of a puzzle from this toy, and they get so excited every time they get a shape in the right hole. I use the puzzle to reinforce/teach shapes, colors, and the concept of "matching" and "turning" pieces until they fit.
My one year old boy just got this toy as a present and loves it. He actually bypasses his other puzzles for this one each time. Since he is only one - I am using the puzzle to teach him colors. When he is older, I can use it to teach him shapes. Really happy with this toy.
I bought this as a gift for my 10 month old granddaughter. The large wooden pieces will be durable and the large knobs will fit in her hands perfectly.
I just purchased this puzzle for my 16 month old daughter who enjoys it. However, the colors of the plug and the hole are supposed to match and they don't. Some are just very different shades and two are different colors altogether (purple versus blue/ orange versus red). Since color recognition is a fundamental aspect of this puzzle, this seems to be a significant flaw.
I also found as another reviewer did that the pieces don't seem to have been removed and cleaned after the jig cut them out. There is particle board dust that seems to keep wearing off with continued use even after it is cleaned with a damp cloth. This can be considered a small trade off for the price of the toy since it is so functional and educational.
However, the only concern I have with the dust is whether there are any chemicals from glue or other materials that might have some degree of toxicity. The pieces are in no way deteriorating of crumbling apart; there is just dust that my daughter found fascinating and began licking off her fingers.
The pegs to hold the pieces are perfect. The pieces fit well, not too loose, not too tight. I really like this puzzle for my daughter and hope that I can get it exchanged for one that has accurately corresponding colors.
This is great as a first puzzle. The large wood knobs are easy for little hands to hold onto, and nothing beats it for teaching shapes and colors. My daughter mastered it and was able to identify the shapes and colors by name all by 20 months (except for one slight difference, she still calls the pentagon a "purple-gon" :) Great quality and durability, should last many-many years!
We gave this puzzle to my 8 1/2 month old for Christmas, and it was immediately a big hit. She loves it because the pieces are easy to grab and the bright simple colors catch her attention. My two-year-old loves it, too, even though it's easy for her. This was a great purchase!
I was looking for a puzzle for my daughter I saw this one. I loved the colors along with the knobs on it. She is still working on getting the shapes right, but seems to like this one. The other puzzles I saw are smaller & I liked the bigger size of this one.
We bought this as a first puzzle for our daughter at about 5 months. She started to remove the shapes almost immediately and loved all the colors. Ultra durable and still a favorite at 17 months...buy ANY of the jumbo M&D puzzles for your little one.
We have a lot of different puzzles for our daughter and this is our favorite. The background is simple and doesn't distract from the placement of the pieces. The wooden knobs are easy for her to grasp and the pieces are simple shapes and colors that she can recognize and easily put where they belong. She's learning colors and shapes from our "play" with this puzzle and doesn't get frustrated with it like she does with some other puzzles. I highly recommend this puzzle.
