Review on ๐Ÿฆ• Entertaining and Educational: Melissa & Doug Dinosaur Jigsaw Puzzle by Mac Quigley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cool dinosaur floor puzzle for the little ones!

These puzzles will bring a lot of fun to children. We have bought several of these sets over the years and they fit our two girls (ages 3 and 6) great as they grew up. We originally bought these for our oldest daughter and they have lasted long enough for our youngest to use at around 2 1/2 years old. This is a 2 x 3 foot floor puzzle. It has a dinosaur theme and consists of 24 large pieces. It's really fun to put together and has great art and vibrant colors. The picture has some cool looking colorful dinosaurs along the erupting volcano in the background. This is a great first puzzle set that is easy for little ones to use and teaches them as they start learning how the puzzle pieces fit together. They find it easier to use larger pieces as they develop hand-eye coordination. The puzzles have proven surprisingly durable over years of play (abuse). They were used as a dance floor by my girls quite a bit. The pieces bend a bit after all of the tamping, but they're thick and strong enough that they still fit together nicely. Note that some Revain resellers' prices may exceed $20 in some cases. We paid about $12 for each puzzle at Revain and found a few even cheaper when sold locally. Be sure to go shopping. All in all these are really fun and high quality puzzles. It's amazing how well kids can handle it, even when they're very young. I was always amazed when my 2.5 year old child could put everything together at the same time with a little practice. Once my girls got really good at it, they loved the positive affirmation and praise for a job well done. Highly recommended!

Pros
  • Develops hand-eye coordination and problem-solving skills.
Cons
  • Low maintainability.
