Melissa & Doug Blues Clues & You! Wooden Chunky Puzzle - Fridge Food (10 Pieces)

Well built just like the ones in the 80s

My 2 year old loves it and so does my 4 year old its alot bigger then I thought it was

On the surface this is a well made little learning board, all of the wood and shapes are really chunky and the board is very thick, just make sure you don’t get any liquid near it, which is a problem with toddlers and young children. The colours are really bright the images on the pieces are well drawn. There are 10 slots with 10 different fruit images and numbers, you slot in the rather chunky wooden pieces that represent the fruit underneath. The shapes are well defined and the pieces are smooth. The board is nice and thick and I think the idea is great, as soon as my daughter got this with the large pieces and colourful images she was trying to fit the pieces in place, brilliant idea and because everything is so big and thick it is perfect for little hands. There is however a big problem for all its thickness and wooden nature it’s let down by the finish, it’s just not robust enough. If your child won’t have this near food or any sort of liquid and doesn’t like to pick at things then it’s fine but if they do this will start to fall apart. The images seem like thin paper in the board and any sort of food residue that’s sticky can’t be cleaned off well. Water or cleaning wipes also cause the images to break apart, it seems like paper on top of the wood but made to look like wood below the shapes. In only a few days our daughter has dropped snacks on it, spilt a bit of water and managed to rip the print and she is not really a destructive child, we have plenty of these wooden puzzles and the rest are fine as the print is in the wood, they might not look as perfect but they are much more robust. Its a real shame as the wood is good quality and everything is so well thought out in the puzzle and the chunky pieces are great for little hands. It is just let down by very poor quality in its stock in print. I also think at £21.49 as of September 2021 its too expensive.

Perfect for preschool aged children, my 2 year old daughter completely adores the TV show and loves anything themed with Blue. Both the puzzle board and puzzle pieces are very well made, thick and durable, exactly what you expect from any wooden toy from Melissa & Doug. Teaches numbers, counting, number recognition and hand eye coordination. Great gift thats both educational and fun.

Bought as a gift for my 2 year old. She absolutely loves it.

Large pieces

I would give this a 5 star - the quality is excellent, beautiful bright colors, not just learning numbers but also food you can find around the house. The pieces are big and solid like usually all Melissa & Doug puzzles pieces are. However, I think its a bit too big and heavy. It could be smaller! But overall its so cute!

It’s really big, great for toddlers

Very nice for a birthday gift under $15.00 Would buy again.

Nice quality puzzle with vibrant colors and sturdy pieces.
