BeginAgain Animal Parade A to Z Puzzle and Playset - Educational Wooden Alphabet Puzzle - 2 and Up

My son loves it. He solves this puzzle almost daily. Built very sturdy.

X is for xray fish and N is for nightingale, except the nightingale is painted yellow like a duck. I can excuse the lack of an X family of animal, but at least paint the nightingale with the right colors. Or use a newt instead. Also, the pig looks more like a pink dog. Still, the puzzle is cute, and well made.

The bear came with the upper case b side scratched, and nothing was on the lower case b side at all. But my kids love it regardless.

Personally, I hate this puzzle. Like most large puzzles, my 3yo loves dumping it out but not putting it back together. After putting this back together myself once or twice I almost threw it away. It is hard even for an adult. It is painted on both sides of each piece, one side with capital letters and the other side with lower case. Thats great except the pieces arent symmetrical, so if you want to put it together on the lower-case side its a mirror image so it would go from right to left instead of left to right, the z picture would come first and the a picture would come last. My child hardly knows the difference between capital and lower case yet. Another reason its frustrating is that there is a bunch of empty space at the top, and the pieces dont fit together, they just stack on top of each other and squeeze together inside a frame. It was nearly impossible to remember how all the little pieces fit together after the dog for D. I quickly decided that I was not going to keep this puzzle if I didnt do something to help. I highly recommend this - get a pencil and outline each piece one at a time inside the wooden frame. This ruins the ability to do the puzzle upside-down on the lower-case side but we wouldnt use it that way anyway. My kids like using this puzzle more as wooden figures for play. They stand them up alongside their wooden train track. For that purpose this is a beautifully painted wooden toy set.

This puzzle is so cute. Got it for my 5 year old grandson. The animals are easy to recognize & fun to play along with. I prefer to have supervised play with this because we end up making it a game of it. I point out the letter that is printed on the animal, then one by one we attach the next animal. Even if we only get through some of the alphabet, I know hell retain the letters we worked with.

Great puzzle for helping with capital and lower case letters. Teaches spatial skills as well. Bought it for a 3 year old but the 5 year old loved putting it together as well

Well made and packaged. Bought based on the reviews and was not disappointed. Quite a decent size and when assembled can be used even as decoration in the frame - the colors are nice and vibrant and the cutout pieces are well made. I gave as gift and don’t know yet on the kid’s reactions, but for a developing 2-3 year old this could be very enjoyable. No batteries and no buttons, noises and screens, just colors and shapes and still could be a lot of fun.

This puzzle is made of wood and very sturdy. The cool thing is that on one side of each piece are uppercase letters and the other side are all lower case, so you can arrange the puzzle going right to left or left to right. Hence, “BeginAgain”.

Beautiful puzzle. Loved the painted pieces and how unique it is. It’s a bit hard for my four year old but she will grow into it

I would love to give this toy 5 stars because it is a cute idea and a cute presentation, BUT when I received it, the aligators tail was broken off. Please make sure you check all pieces prior to gifting or using this toy. The toy came very poorly packed ( no inside packing to stop it from taking a beating during the delivery process.)
