Melissa & Doug Farm Wooden Chunky Puzzle (8 pcs) - Farm Animal Toys For Kids, Wooden Puzzles For Toddlers Ages 2+ - FSC-Certified Materials

Durable, cute, perfect for young toddlers.

We really like these puzzles; in fact, we have 3 different themed puzzles! My 18 month old loves to do them, and theyre a great size, shape and thickness for his little hands. My only complain about the product is that I wish they were coated in clear paint or some sort of protectant, as the paint does chip a bit at the edges when my toddler slams them into place. I feel like something designed for children of this age should stand up to toddler abuse. my only other complaint was for the seller: I feel like this puzzle should have been packaged with something other than a poly mailer. Some sort of padding would have been nice. I know its a fairly sturdy wooden puzzle, but still. Anyway, buy several of these in different themes, theyre great!

Sin duda alguna, me encantan los juguetes de Melissa and Doug, son juguetes para toda la vida, juguetes que desarrollan las habilidades físico motoras de los niños, y aumentan su creatividad. Ideal para regalar, para trabajar, y para desarrollar infinitas habilidades en los niños.

I got this puzzle on a lightning deal so the price was just perfect. I had had my eyes on this series of puzzles for a while now so I was thrilled to see them featured! I was debating between the peg puzzles and the chunky puzzles but ultimately decided on the chunky for a few reasons: -Though more expensive, the thicker pieces can hold up to more beatings -Pieces are thick enough to stand on their own so can double as wooden imaginary play pieces (we use them with blocks) -Thicker pieces are easier for little hands to grab onto- as opposed to grabbing onto the tiny pegs. I know Melissa and Doug sells puzzles with large knobs, but I felt my son would outgrow those too quickly and this way I would get the most use for my money. I love the bold colors of the farm animals, their smiling faces, and I love that the pieces have the right amount of weight to them. Unlike some of the other Melissa and Doug toys, these dont seem to just have a sticker on the front that can get peeled off (or sucked off since at this age everything ends up in the mouth. The edges of the pieces are painted and smooth. In terms of age, I love that such a wide range of ages can get use out of them. I got these for my son when he was 9 months old, so obviously he was a bit young to be assembling the puzzle. At first he just took the pieces out from their places and now, at 11 months we go through and practice animal sounds. Eventually, hell be able to do the puzzle himself. (Note: I know the recommended age for this product is 2+ years. Use your own discretion as a parent to make the right choice for your child)

My 2 year old received this as a birthday gift, but I think she was already a bit too old to be challenged by it. Still, she loved it and got a lot of use out of it initially. She mastered placing the puzzle pieces immediately and she learned to say all of the animals names and the sounds they make right away. Ill save it for my next little one that is due in March and give it to her earlier than age 2.

I love this puzzle. My daughters speech therapist brings it with her when she has her visits. My daughter loves doing it over and over again and she has gotten so good at it. The animal pieces are thicker than the board so they stick out making it easy for those little hands to pick them up. I had to order one because it makes me so happy to see my daughter doing so well with it.

I wanted a way to introduce farm animals and since my baby didnt yet have a chunky puzzle as well thought this is a good way to introduce both. I like it so far.

Highly recommend; durable and high quality.

These puzzles are excellent for fine motor skills practice.
