I wanted to love this product as do most of Melissa & Doug.

I wanted to love this product like most Melissa & Doug products but this product is not true. Pros: It's visually appealing, includes both the capital and state name, and is quite colorful. Cons: Some states have very sharp edges. Individual parts are not polished and sharp splinters of wood protrude from the edges, making this item unsuitable and unsafe for little fingers. As an already exhausted, overworked and underappreciated parent, I don't want to spend extra time polishing individual…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Some little things

The perfect gift for a smart granddaughter

This will save one of my granddaughters from her iPad now! Now she's like a little sponge that absorbs anything new she can learn, and that's wonderful. What could I give her that would compete with her devices? This riddle! Puzzle of all 50 states, separate pieces. I didn't take off the cellophane to see if the pieces were really made of wood. But there is a frame, and the packaging says the puzzle is "wooden," so I'm not sure if the pieces are wood or cardboard. She is so careful with her…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • High price

Someone cutting pieces isn't very good at following lines

I wanted my kid to put together a map puzzle to explore the states and get acquainted with their shape and arrangement. I chose this one because the pictures in each state were cute and I liked their designs more than the other options. Wasn't disappointed with the graphics but the shapes are awful! The patterns don't match the lines at all! The shapes are extremely simplified, so it shouldn't be that hard to cut them right! For example, the top half of Texas is connected to part of Oklahoma…

Pros
  • Durable surface
Cons
  • Repair

Cute little educational puzzle

My little grandson was wondering where we live so it seemed perfect. I had it not long ago, but in a week he already learned some valuable information. The parts are in the actual shape of a state, except for a few smaller states that are grouped together. He learns that the larger states are to the west and learns to write and pronounce the states' names. This little puzzle is a great learning tool and allows you to teach in other areas. For example, there is a photo of a buffalo in Wyoming…

  • Pretty package

FALSE BUT BEAUTIFUL

I LOVE Melissa and Doug's stuff in general, but I feel like the quality isn't up to standard anymore. The princess puzzle is my daughter's favorite puzzle so I thought my son would love it and he loves it. After putting this puzzle together about six times, the paper glued to the wood began to lift. Since that day the glue stick and I have become a bit friends and work tirelessly to solve this puzzle. It's pretty much a weekly event, I pull out all of our Melissa and Doug wooden puzzles (yes we

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Wonderful so far. the best in puzzles

I confess I've only had it a day. But I've uploaded some photos to show the overall quality and build for anyone interested in the details. The individual puzzle pieces are 5 mm thick. The puzzle board itself is 1 cm thick. I love that the *pieces* of the puzzle have the state name written on them, while the *board* of the puzzle just lists the state capitals. Children can't just match words, they have to think about what they are doing and so do I. :P You can't put a government figure in its…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Incredible piggy bank
