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

Bought this for my almost two year old nephew and he loves it.

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.

Very high quality puzzle. It’s big (almost the length of my arm) and the pieces are smooth wood (no splintering). They’re sturdy and big enough that they can be played with individually almost like small blocks. I will say that it’s not obvious how they fit together. My 4 year old cant do this by himself. And there’s no picture printed on the tray so SAVE the packaging!

This is a nice quality puzzle and playset but it has two big drawbacks: first, it has no cover, so you have to find something else to store all the pieces in. Second, the image that shows what the puzzle looks like completed and what the 26 pieces are is printed on a loose piece of brown paper that can in no way be attached to the wooden box (unless you glue it on yourself). Really no excuse for either of those faults--with a decent cover with the photo printed on it Id give this 5 stars, but they are big enough drawbacks to lop two stars off.

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 all had fun learning the planets and other interesting facts about Space. It was the perfect gift for our grandson.

Grandson is 4 years old very sturdy thick puzzle toy, beautiful colors. Fun !!!

In the CITY A TO Z puzzle what do so many of the letters stand for......its hard for the adults to decifer. Please include the meaning of the letters in the game next time.

Personally, I hate this puzzle. Like most large puzzles, my 3yo loves dumping it out but not putting it back together. After putting this back together myself once or twice I almost threw it away. It is hard even for an adult. It is painted on both sides of each piece, one side with capital letters and the other side with lower case. Thats great except the pieces arent symmetrical, so if you want to put it together on the lower-case side its a mirror image so it would go from right to left instead of left to right, the z picture would come first and the a picture would come last. My child hardly knows the difference between capital and lower case yet. Another reason its frustrating is that there is a bunch of empty space at the top, and the pieces dont fit together, they just stack on top of each other and squeeze together inside a frame. It was nearly impossible to remember how all the little pieces fit together after the dog for D. I quickly decided that I was not going to keep this puzzle if I didnt do something to help. I highly recommend this - get a pencil and outline each piece one at a time inside the wooden frame. This ruins the ability to do the puzzle upside-down on the lower-case side but we wouldnt use it that way anyway. My kids like using this puzzle more as wooden figures for play. They stand them up alongside their wooden train track. For that purpose this is a beautifully painted wooden toy set.

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