I teach my 4 year old daughter Montessori at home. We really like this puzzle. My daughter loved the large format images, bright images and colors. Each condition also includes images/facts, which is particularly useful for visual representations. The first time my daughter made it I had to help her a little, but after that she just referred to the picture on the box and made it herself! My daughter is effectively learning the alignment of different states and their position in relation to one another! The puzzle doesn't "snap" like other puzzles and I didn't really like it at first but then I realized it made the puzzle more difficult as my daughter had to carefully put the pieces together to make them fit. together properly for the full picture. This puzzle stimulates the child's brain, improves critical thinking and promotes independence! I like the fact that it is interactive which makes learning fun! My daughter often has short attention spans and this riddle entertained her from start to finish and she felt so accomplished that she solved it on her own! My goal is for my daughter to recognize all the states and their locations WITHOUT using the picture on the box as a guide. I know it can be done ;-). We love Melissa and Doug's products!
