Melissa & Doug Colorful Fish Wooden Chunky Puzzle (8 pcs)

My 3 year old nephew love this puzzle! The first time he played with one was at our local library and it helped him when he was learning his colors. We bought one for him to play with when he visits, and he still loves to play with it, but it is perhaps more suited for younger kids. It is super cute and well made. I highly recommend this puzzle.

The size of puzzle pieces are perfect for children motor skills as well as plenty of cognitive activities such as color size mathematical etc

Overall, the puzzle is well made and OK, but quality control should have caught the flaw where the blue fish goes on the base. Part of the blue area is missing. When paying money for anything, one would hope that it’s looked over very carefully before shipping it to the customer. I will keep the puzzle, but I had to color the spot with a blue marker because it didn’t look right, and my grandson kept picking at it because he noticed the flaw too. I agree with another reviewer that the orange and red fish should have been separated a bit more to avoid confusion. They are very close in color.

My almost-2 granddaughter loves this puzzle. She takes them all out and lines them up and counts them. And is learning colors as well. The size of the fish is great for little hands. The pieces are well-made and sturdy. The colors go through the fish, so nothing to chip off. My daughter-in-law teaches pre-schoolers, so I sent one for her classroom. She says the children love it and are taking turns to play with it. Thank you again Melissa and Doug for providing quality products that spark learning and creativity.

My recently turned 2 year old likes fish and puzzles so even though she’s advanced with puzzles, this was still cutesy given it combines two things she likes.
