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

I bought this puzzle for my 2 year old. She loves the Melissa & Doug alphabet puzzle, and it really helped her learn letters and how to do a puzzle. So, I wanted to build on that and help her with her numbers. The big disappointment with this puzzle is that there are multiple places where a number can fit. (ie, she can put the #16 in the #19 spot). So, it doesnt really help with the puzzle skills. And since some of the pieces fit anywhere, shes not really motivated to try to find where the piece really goes.

...because it is bright and colorful, very tolerable to chewing and sucking, and well, for whatever reasons that are unbeknownst to me he loves it for them too. Melissa & Doug toys are some of the best toys for young children out there. It is also a great toy because it is introducing numbers at the earliest ages possible. That as well as problem solving. Its all about numbers and mathematics. Do yourself a favor and help your child as many ways as possible to learn math and sciences. Thanks M&D for this great toy.

I credit this and ASL to my 2 year old knowing her letters already. I keep the letters in an old metal cookie tin and she loves the sound of dumping them out and putting them in the puzzle. We review the letter names as she does.

We love Melissa and Doug puzzles. The colors are very bright.

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

I wanted something to help my daughter who is 19 months with her letters and this is perfect. She can easily match the letters, they are a good size since she still puts things in her mouth and cant choke. Each letter has two pictures that start with that letter which has been helpful when she is looking where to put the letter I can help by identifying the picture. You can also use them to spell out words (makes me want another set of just letters). Very versatile and great quality.

I researched every letter puzzle I think and am glad I got this one. Got my 19 month old interested in learning letters. She loves this and plays with it every day. 2 months later she knows her letters. Highly recommend!

Item is as described. Very colorful. My son loved it when it when I took him to be library so I purchase it for him and he learns great with it. The pieces are thick enough that he stands it up on a table. He found a creative way to decorate his Christmas tree with the letter.

I really like this puzzle. It pictures two things for every letter (ex.: A for Apple and Alligator). As parents know having 26 small objects around the house can lead to a mess with a toddler; so I only take out 4 letters at a time and keep the rest in a zip lock bag. You can still review all of the letters from the board.

I saw this in my toddlers preschool and decided to get one for the house as well. My two year old has learned all the numbers from this. She does it over and over again.
