🧩 Melissa & Doug Animal Wooden Puzzles: Enhancing Cognitive Skills Through Play Review

2/3 puzzles are excellent. For some reason, sea creatures don't fit into their place. One (the shark) even gets stuck. Everything feels well made and sturdy, a poorly fitting jigsaw still works like a jigsaw but it's just annoying.

These are not wooden puzzles! They are layers of plywood glued together. I plan to keep my purchase because I hate returning an item. Finally, it's overpriced for the wood quality compared to other Melissa and Doug toys. Very disappointing!

I love the quality and concept of this puzzle set. What I don't like is that the animal characters are repeated throughout the set. The lack of volatility makes this a bad deal. It was a gift so I can't return it. I would recommend that you buy a board and build your own set.

Good quality jigsaw puzzle although the images will peel off when wet. Thus, washing or touching the toy will cause the image to disappear. It would be nice to have a clearer variety in the images. The two puzzles are very similar. The range given is 2 to 4, but I think 3-4 is more appropriate.

The puzzles are excellent. Exactly what you expect. I also added some photos of the stand I got for them. I've seen reviews complaining about certain types of M&D puzzles not being suitable for stands. They have different sized racks for different types of puzzle boards. If you look at my photos, there is a sound puzzle, a simple peg puzzle and a quad puzzle. Everything fits perfectly with the rack I bought.

We have a few Mellisa and Doug products that made me make this purchase. My son has other versions of the puzzles and really likes them. However, when my son played with this puzzle set, he accidentally started crying. Looking closely at the pieces, I noticed many splinters sticking out from the sides of the puzzle pieces. If you buy this product, please check it before giving it to a child.

My son loves these jigsaw puzzles. I especially love that the empty slot has a picture of an animal so my child can learn to match the pieces to the correct slot. I also like that there are only 6 pieces in each puzzle. Especially if I have to assemble it when I'm cleaning up the playroom! Good quality, bright colors and comfortable pens on each piece for little toddler hands.

My 15 month old puts EVERYTHING in his mouth or at least tries to. The Maine Coon tail is not exempt from tasting. Besides that, these things are pretty damn tough. He taps them, scatters them, gnaws at every square inch, and sometimes, if you're lucky, you can find one floating in a cat's water bowl. There are no cracks, scratches, chips and the retaining pins didn't even move. If you have a child like mine that you have nicknamed "Destructo" then this will be a great addition to the toy…

I bought this puzzle set for my daughter's Easter basket. I wouldn't call it a "great deal" - you just get what you pay for. This is a kind of hybrid between traditional cardboard puzzles and wooden puzzles, the base of which is made of thin plywood and covered with a cardboard illustration. As soon as we have opened it and played it gently, the cardboard cover is already turning white at the edges! If I had seen them in a store before buying I would have definitely skipped it and instead spent
