Review on Ultimate Fun with Melissa & Doug Magnetic Fishing Magnets: Reel in a World of Excitement! by Sammie Prince

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Frustrating Puzzle

This puzzle is of very poor quality, especially for a Melissa and Doug product. What disappointed me the most was the lack of pictures among the parts. We have several Melissa and Doug jigsaw puzzles, all of good quality with matching pictures below. I think you could argue that the puzzle is harder without pictures, but to be honest that just makes the puzzle cheap and uninteresting/unappealing for kids. Plus, toddlers who need a challenge can move on to the next step of the puzzle. These short puzzles are for toddlers who need matching pictures below. Also, the parts are inferior, flimsy chipboard scrap. I mean maybe not exactly cork wood but definitely not of the same quality as our other Melissa and Doug puzzles which are mostly sold at flea markets and are still in great condition. On the positive side the bar and magnets work and my daughters will play with this aspect for a few minutes. However, I have yet to convince them to put the puzzle together themselves. I'd recommend finding fishing jigsaw puzzles using the images below, or you're better off with any other Melissa and Doug jigsaw puzzle.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Some little things
