BeginAgain Animal Parade A to Z Puzzle and Playset - Educational Wooden Alphabet Puzzle - 2 and Up

We got one of these for our son for his third birthday and he absolutely loves it. Hes disassembled and put it together a bunch of times. Its proved to be the right level of challenge for him (neither too easy nor too difficult). The puzzle itself contains a bunch of information about astronomy and space exploration. Puzzle pieces include the Earth, Moon, and other celestial bodies, and historical figures like Galileo and Yuri Gagarin, and its a nice way to introduce a little one to these concepts. The overall quality is really good. I found no issues with the paint or wood, and there were no chips or dings in the pieces, and the colors used are really vibrant and rich.

Adorable puzzle for kids and the adults here had to try it too. It was a little challenging, but we figured out you pick capital letters or lowercase letters on the animals. They have capital letters on 1 side and lowercase on the other. They fit together with all capitals or all lowercase. Each animal piece varies in size. There are a few animals that were so small we had to put aside so our little doesnt eat them. Most are not a choking hazard. Our toddler likes to hold each animal and make the noise the animal makes. Right now she prefers to take the puzzle apart after we put it together to put it away. We find animals from this puzzle in random places, like a dolphin in the cupboard or an elephant in the pantry. It arrived on time in a tall skinny box with ample cushioning.

My son loves it. He solves this puzzle almost daily. Built very sturdy.

This puzzle is amazing, its very high-quality and very well-made. My kids love it. They play with the pieces as well as use it as its meant to be in a puzzle, this is my second time purchasing at them giving it to a friend its a great gift, and good for all ages my four a half year-old and my 2 year old both enjoy it. I highly recommend this puzzle

Oh I love these puzzles! Very cute & fun. Just the pictures kinda chip/fade some.. very nice that it come with the wooden box.

My 3 year old received this for Christmas. She loved the animals and loved to take them out and play with them. She couldnt really put it together on her own at that age. Now she is 4, and can do it on her own. The puzzle has great colors and a cute variety of animals. Each animal represents a letter, uppercase on one side, lower on the other. This means there are two ways you can solve the puzzle, using all upper or all lowercase letters. The pieces are wood and have taken a beating for almost a year now. They have been dropped many times on our tile floor. I did have 2 animals break, but was able to glue them back together with no problem. It is helpful to keep the paper that comes with it that shows you how to solve it.

This is a great puzzle for kids! Its difficult to do but the wooden pieces which are different animals are fun to play with individually and in themselves are a fun way to learn about animals from A to Z. Putting the puzzle together isnt easy but a picture of the puzzle comes with it & that helps putting the pieces together.

We were disappointed in this puzzle. The animals are cute enough, even if you have to stretch your imagination to allow the animal to be the shape that they have made it, but what was annoying was the packaging and quality. The paint on the pieces seems thin and prone to chipping. At least one piece was smudged. I did like that both sides of the pieces were painted, but I would have expected them to be anyway, based on similar puzzles of this type. It comes in a long shallow wooden box, which helps younger kids build the puzzle by containing it while they work, but there is no lid for it, so all the pieces just fall out when stored. Similar puzzles we have bought by other companies have had a slide-on clear plastic lid that keeps all of the pieces in place. Also, there is a picture of the puzzle as it looks when assembled (also helpful for younger kids), and it says how many pieces there are etc, but the paper is just loose rather than attached to the inside or the back of the box. In the end, had to find something else to store the pieces in. This wouldnt be a big deal, except that I also feel like I have to keep the original wooden box so my toddler can use it when building the puzzle. If this were the only puzzle of its kind I had ever purchased, I might be perfectly happy, but comparing it to others of a similar nature, it leaves a bit to be desired.

Bought it for my sons birthday. He loves it. Good quality.

I love this puzzle and so do my kids. It is beautifully carved out of wood and could easily just be artwork. But, it really is educational with the upper and lower case alphabet on the front and back. Plus, each is an animal of the same letter. It is challenging to put together but thats what makes it such a great puzzle. My younger kids just like using the animals in creative play while my older daughter actually uses it as it is intended as a puzzle.
