 "Great Puzzle" 2009-07-08
By A. Smith (TN)
I got this for my daughter when she was about 15 months. Now, she is almost 2 and knows all of her shapes. She loves this puzzle. I would highly recommend this puzzle.

 "Best investment ever" 2009-06-02
By Marni (Portland)
Both my boys have loved this puzzle to pieces. I bought it when my older son was just over a year old and he spent hours learning each shape and color and fitting it into the puzzle. Everntually I packed it away... and brought it out when my younger son started to show an interest in shapes. He loves it, too! I have to search the house for the pieces because he loves to carry them around. This is the best money I have spent on any toy to date.

I ordered this to use with a student that has severe special needs. He is legally blind, and has some fine motor difficulties. I am happy to report that he is able to effectively pick up the pieces and put them into the correct spots with minimal assistance. The colors are nice and bright and the quality exceptional.

 "Loved it!" 2009-03-22
By Nanna B. (SE Tx)
This puzzle was fun and educational. My 2 year old granddaughter could handle the shapes with those little fingers. After she realized they would stand alone, it became a train of shapes. The colors were vibrant and another lesson for her. Great fun for us.

 "Great for learning" 2009-01-06

Melissa & Doug Farm Cube Puzzle

Product Description

This fun and challenging Farm Cube Puzzle will certainly entertain the kids. Each side of the beautifully illustrated, solid wood cube is part of a different farm animal puzzle - there are six puzzles in all!

My 2 1/2 absolutely loves this puzzle and has no problem putting it together.

However, the construction/quality of this product is horrible. The blocks are too heavy, so be careful if it falls onto a little ones foot. And because they are heavy, they hit together and the stickers are coming off the blocks. I'm so disappointed in this product. It looks like we've had it for years, when we've only had it for a couple months.

This is not one of Melissa & Doug's better puzzles. Don't waste your money.


Everyone in the family has enjoyed playing with this toy! The pictures are bright and colorful and it is a great, challenging toy.


I gave this puzzle a high rating only because of its immense learning value. The quality of the puzzle is diminished because the stickers on each side of the puzzle can easily peel off [its just paper and not painted on], so one has to be very careful in handling the puzzle blocks. On the other hand, the educational value of this puzzle set is very high - young ones can spend quality fun time trying to figure out how to put an animal 'together' [there are six animals in all - pig, chicken, sheep, cow, horse, and duck]. Each puzzle block has six sides and children can learn to manipulate them to put an animal together. A set of pictures on the back of the puzzle box provides a visual cue as to how to piece each animal together.

The puzzle requires quite a bit of higher-order thinking skills and I would recommend this to preschoolers and up.


I had a puzzle like this when I was young. SO much fun! I had this in my hand. I wanted to buy it so badly. But as I looked through the shrink wrap I saw the pictures were peeling off the cubes. I thought, OK bad puzzle. But then I looked at ALL the puzzles they had at that store....they were ALL peeling. Usually you can't beat Melissa and Doug quality but this time is not one of those times. There has to be a better way to put the pictures onto the cubes.


I purchased this puzzle 5 years ago for my (now) 8 year old... it sits out on the coffee table 24/7. STILL my kids play with it.. they time each other, put it together upside down, and other creative stuff. It still amazes me that this simple puzzle gets played with at least once a week by an 11 year old, 8 year old and 5 year old. Best Christmas gift we ever got. Minor peeling of stickers, but you gotta expect that!


my 18 month old loves this. We practice saying the animals name and sound the animal makes! He knows them all! Great puzzle very durable considering he likes to use the pieces as balls!


Another for my nephew! He loves it but at 3 its still a little advance because of so many sides to choose from but no fault of the item! He still loves it and gives us a chance to help!!!


the quailty is VERY poor. Even for Melissa & Doug. I agree with the reviewer that called it "typical cheap "made in China" junk". Though- it's fun junk! This puzzle may not last through both children but my 4 year old and I have a lot of fun playing with it now. :o) Can't wait to buy him the "pets" version.


I bought this for a 2 year old. Woe is me that I didn't open the plastic cling-wrap on the toy and inspected it closely before gifting it. As soon as she saw it, she wanted to open it and what child wouldn't want to play with a bright new toy?

Unfortunatly, 10 minutes into play time, I saw that the cheap vinyl covered cubes were already(!!) peeling. The cubes underneath are clearly MDF and the whole game board, with the singular exception of the wooden dovetailed pine tray seems to have been made with as little regard to quality as possible.

We have now played with the cubes 3 times and the majority of the 16 cubes are peeling, some on more than one side. The corners seem to curl up readily and on one face of a cube about 1/5 of the vinyl covered face is folded under itself.

Yes, this toy is an engaging toy. The images are bright and attractive. Sadly, it is not up to par with other toys of its kind and I would put money down that a month of playtime will have it looking as beat up as if it was through the ringer for a couple of years.
Melissa and Doug should consider silkscreening the images directly onto their blocks (and then varnishing, of course!!). They should be able to do so with only a slight increase in cost and still be able to price this toy in the $10-20 price point. As it i the toy is a waste if money and time and worse, if you give to a child who loves it, you'll be doubly sorry when you have to discard the blocks when they are unsafe to use or simply in deplorable condition.
Melissa and Doug, this toy is ruining your reputation!!


Great puzzle. Very challenging and it stays put in it's tray so it could even be used in the car.

Ravensburger Puzzle Accessories - Stow and Go

Product Description

Roll up and transport your jigsaw puzzle in progress with the innovative Puzzle Stow and Go. Just begin your puzzle on the bright felt mat with special non-skid backing for easy sorting and contrast and then when you want to take a break, roll the mat up with the help of the inflatable tube and use the two securing elastic bands to keep everything in place. Mat is sized to fit up to a 1500-piece puzzle. Measures approximately 46" x 26".

Trust me when I say this is not worth a dollar, nevermind ten. I wish I had read the review before buying this piece of garbage. It consists of a square piece of felt that will not lie flat (kind of necessary when doing a puzzle), a blow up tube that is sure to pop and 2 ties that a bound to get lost. What a waste of money and a disappointment because it sounded like a great idea. Completely flawed. Someone else should create a better design...


I was a bit skeptical of this product before I purchased it but after reading all the reviews on Amazon I thought it was a good bet. It works very nicely. Not surprisingly, you do have to do a bit of refitting everytime you unroll it because some piece edges separate but it's not a big deal. I've noticed that as you complete more of the puzzle this becomes less of a problem. My only comment would be the size. I typically get puzzles no less than 1500 and this product was a bit too small for the average 1500 piece puzzle (unless it has unusual dimensions). Otherwise it's very nice AND washable, a plus after my cat annointed it.


Awesome product! You just have to inflate the tube and start the puzzle on the felt. Once you need a break, you just roll the felt with the puzzle on it around the tube and store it wherever you want.
Make sure that you roll it up tight and everything stays in place where it was when you did the break.
The yellow felt gives you a great contrast to the puzzle pieces.
I love it and I finally don't have to keep the puzzle on the table for all the time.
If there is any improvement possible, I could only think of having a larger mouth piece for blowing up the tube - but then, once it is inflated, you will never need it again.



...w/out having to worry about my kitty or my 2 children getting into it!!!!! I must 1st say, however, I would've prefered a {yellow} mat, mine was black, but that's still o.k. Secondly, BEFORE you want to start your puzzle on the mat, please make sure that you IRON it 1st {on BOTH sides}, otherwise you'll find yourself quite aggrevated. Works absolutely perfectly once ironed. Asides from that little quirk, most perfect otherwise!


This product does just what we wanted: inexpensive and will make it possible to move puzzles from the dining room table so we can eat! Less likely to lose pieces as well.

Melissa & Doug Safari Floor Puzzle 100 pc Floor

Product Description

The circle of life is represented here at this watering hole on the Savannah. Reveal a dramatic African scene as you assemble this 100-piece cardboard floor puzzle. Over four feet long, the extra-thick pieces are 20% thicker than other puzzles. It's easy-to-clean surface keeps the puzzle looking new for years to come. Measures 6.7" x 6.5" x 4.7".

We bought this puzzle for our 6 year old son thinking he would need some assistance putting together such a big puzzle but it is designed in a way he can do it by himself. It gives him a good sense of accomplishment since it is such a large puzzle. The peices are very durable and he's put it together many times. I highly recommend.


My 3 year old daughter loves the Melissa and Doug floor puzzles and this one is no exception. She loves all the animals in this safari puzzle. We also have "farm friends", "Dinosaurs" and "Under the Sea". I would recommend them all. She can do "farm friends" and "dinosaurs" completely by herself, and can almost do "Under the sea".

I think the puzzles have many lessons to teach them. I like that she has to learn patience and to work through a task to achieve her goal...it's not instant gratification. Having said that she feels a great sense of accomplishment once it is completed.

I also feel these puzzles are very durable as we set them up on the floor and they get walked on all the time.


My 3 year old likes working on this puzzle with me. Sometimes his attention span is not quite long enough to finish it before he becomes distracted. The 48 pieces are well within his span of time, but the 100 is usually just outside of it. I recommend having both sizes on hand as the 48 pieces go too fast when he wants me to work them with him. The pieces easily resist both my 3 year old and my 1 year old crawling on them and chewing on them before I get them away from her.


I bought three of these puzzles for my three year old son. He absolutely loves them. The pieces are a great size and the picture has a lot going on. This was a great purchase.


We have a 5-year old and a 4-year old, so finding games, puzzles and activities that the whole family can enjoy together is very important to us. This floor puzzle is large enough we can all enjoy it together.

We own more than 25 jigsaw puzzles, including 4 floor puzzles from Melissa and Doug. This 100-piece puzzle is large, so it is easy for both of our children to handle the pieces.

Of all the jigsaw puzzles we own, Melissa and Doug puzzles are the most durable.


This puzzle is of extremely good quality and has been enjoyed tremendously by my kids ranging in age from 3-8.
