Review on 🌍 Exploring the World: Melissa Doug Wipe Clean Surface Geography Puzzles by Stuart Dunn

Revainrating 3 out of 5

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 have a few and yes we all have this problem) and retape the paper that came out. It's very annoying and if my kids didn't LOVE these puzzles I would have gotten rid of them by now. The color is nice, the details go well together but not tight. This is a really nice puzzle, I would fix two things if I could: 1. Ask the company to use a stronger glue (hey, I was just thinking maybe I could put liquid glue on all the pieces of the puzzle? Maybe Prevent (See how it pops up so much then I don't have to keep re-pasting. I think I'll find out this weekend!) Sorry, my mind was wandering.2. I would like a picture of what the puzzle looks like on the back of the puzzle. It probably doesn't matter much if you only have ONE puzzle, but like I said, I have quite a few.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
