Melissa & Doug Jumbo Numbers Wooden Chunky Puzzle (20 pcs)

I love this puzzle and so does my daughter. Very brightly colored and perfect for her little hands since she’s only a year old. It got three stars because it came a little damaged. The sides were scratched up and some of the pieces had dings. I decided to keep it because my daughter will probably do some wear and tear on it anyways so it just didn’t seem worth sending back. Otherwise, amazing product. Love it.

This puzzle is beautiful - bright colors, nice chunky pieces - and very sturdy!

Nice puzzle but the paint and wood chips easily. Not the old Melissa and Doug quality.

Wonderful puzzle for my 2 and a half year old to learn her letters. She loves playing with it and the colors on the puzzle are very vibrant. I like how there is a picture next to each letter that begins with that letter. It is a great teaching opportunity.

I got this for my 3 year old boy and he loves it! He could count to ten but would get confused on his numbers 11-20. This puzzle has helped his counting.

These are good chunky numbers and letters, really nice pieces!!

The Melissa & Doug Jumbo Numbers Wooden Chucky Puzzle was puchased as a gift for educational purpose. I had picked up several of Melissa & Dougs puzzles at a local department store. I was so impressed with the quality I decided to look on Amazon for additional products made by Melissa & Doug. I was not disappointed to discover the numbers puzzle and purchased to add to our grandchildrens newly started Melissa & Doug puzzle collection. Thank you Amazon for another reliable & well made product.

Fun Learning with this puzzle. We bought it as a gift. Our granddaughter has one too. Weve played a game of find the letter, a relay race to find a letter and put it in place, scavenger hunt for the letters. Guiding their activity makes it a fun time while they are learning the alphabet.

Woweee!!! I read all the reviews on all the other puzzles including this one on how they are not hand painted and wood quality cheap and so on but none of my Melissa & Doug (M & D )Products so far were like that UNTIL I got this puzzle!!!! IT REALLY SUCKS from the usual/other puzzles I have from Melissa & Doug! I did read in another review that they sold the company to an overseas joint and that is propably why the quality is poor:-( PROS: A. It is the alphabet and at some point in life we have to learn it. B. The colors are vibrant and eye-catching. C. There are animals behind all the letters that start with the corresponding letter. D. The space underneath the letter corresponds/appears in the puzzle base with matching color/shape (except for letter T...color is different...oopsy on their part! E. The letters are large and chunky for easy handling. CONS: A. The puzzle base is very large (as the pieces are large). It is hard for my 19month old to reach up to the top whether she is sitting at the table or on the floor or standing. She cant really reach the top of the puzzle without help and she is off the chart for percentile in height for her age. B. The whole thing is made cheaply. The wood is some cheap pressed wood crap and it has an awful odor when you first open. We took the puzzle to the outdoors on patio initially to help it air out. THEY ARE NOT HAND-PAINTED!!! There is some sort of sticker??? as the letter pressed or glued on the top (it does stay on well...I tried to peel it. C. The letters are crooked! Not all of them are straight in the base and some are too big which allows for diffent letters to fit in the wrong spot (example: The letter H can fit in the letter N or U spot. Your child will have to be savy to learn where each letter goes! Previous M & D puzzles we own dont allow error like this. D. The cut-outs on the base of the puzzle (where the letters go) are not as deep as other puzzles so when my daughter is reaching up to place another letter and accidently bumps one already in place - it comes out!ERRRRRRR! Anyhoo..I am now a skeptic when ordering M & D products. I will now only buy them when I find them at Kohls or TJ Max. I want to be able to see the product. I also purchased the numbers puzzle like this one and my review is the same as this one...poor quality! I am keeping both puzzles because as soon as my daughter saw it come out of the box she wanted to get at it. She loves puzzles. It will do the job but I will not be able to keep this or want to for years later. I am a fan of the Leapfrog frige letters and she loves those. We also do the letters/numbers that stick to bathtub walls. If you dont care about the cons, i would say order them (although costly for the poor quality). Good luck & hope this helps!

We originally bought this for our son last Christmas (he was around 20 months), and its still his absolute favorite puzzle a year later. I can tell you that after a year of abuse, it is still in decent condition. We bought this one for a friends 2nd birthday! The pieces are large and thick to make it easier for little ones to grasp them and turn them into the right position.
