Melissa & Doug Jumbo Numbers Wooden Chunky Puzzle (20 pcs)

So I bought two of these puzzles for my niece and nephews second birthdays. Ive given it to my nephew already and he loves it! He already had a very similar ABC puzzle (not the same brand) and he was saying the alphabet constantly and loved the puzzle. When we gave him this number puzzle and started counting with him, he was hooked within a week. We heard him saying the 123s all the time. It seems very durable-being solid wood and all. The colors and patterns are very very cute, but thats my personal preference. One thing is that the numbers go up to 20. I think for a two year old that might be too much and its probably better to start off with a 1-10 puzzle. But I dont foresee that as a big issue. If his parents focus on teaching him 1-10 then later moving on to the other digits then it should work just fine. Overall, I loved the puzzle, my sister-in-law loved it, and my two year old nephew seemed to really enjoy it!

I already have the Melissa and Doug numbers puzzle the same size as this alphabet puzzle. The numbers puzzle is over four years old and both of my grandsons have gotten a lot of good use out of it. It is also still in great shape! When the alphabet puzzle the boys were using fell apart I knew I wanted a Melissa & Doug alphabet puzzle. It is made with the same quality as the numbers puzzle and I am sure my grandsons will enjoy it for many years. I did not notice any strange odors from the new alphabet puzzle when it arrived. I also do not believe the company has been sold to anyone and is still owned by the original owners. I will continue to make Melissa & Doug toys my first choice when it comes to my grandsons.

Love it for my 3 year old grandson. Durable and sturdy. Great buy.

Number puzzle made remote learning so much easier for counting.

The original construction of this puzzle included paint all around the puzzle piece. Now, its just a cheap paper laminate on the top; the remainder of the puzzle piece is compressed cardboard. I called Melissa and Doug directly and asked whether they were still making the high quality version of the board, and she said they had discontinued it. They did offer to refund our money or send us an alternative toy, so that was nice. Ultimately, I kept the alphabet puzzle because its one of the better ones out there. However, I hate how Melissa and Dough cut corners on the new version. Disappointing, and now the pieces are chipping/peeling on the top, which means it looks even worse. Recommendation: Keep an eye out for the better quality version at thrift stores or garage sales. It will hold up better and youll pay less money.

I researched every letter puzzle I think and am glad I got this one. Got my 19 month old interested in learning letters. She loves this and plays with it every day. 2 months later she knows her letters. Highly recommend!

I like Melissa and Doug products, but I’m kinda disappointed with the two wooden puzzles I purchased. They both care slightly curved instead of flat. Doesn’t make much difference on a carpet so I kept them... now after not much use the edges of the background on the alphabet puzzle are starting lift, it’s only a matter of time before my toddler notices and starts picking at them ... I paid the extra money for these wooden puzzles because I thought they where better quality... so shouldn’t they last at least a couple years?

We originally bought this for our son last Christmas (he was around 20 months), and its still his absolute favorite puzzle a year later. I can tell you that after a year of abuse, it is still in decent condition. We bought this one for a friends 2nd birthday! The pieces are large and thick to make it easier for little ones to grasp them and turn them into the right position.

It took me quite a while to finally come to the decision to buy this puzzle, because the design looks distracting in the pictures. It arrived this afternoon and the board looks great! Since the board is big and the letters are stroked, my 17-month-old had no problem completing the puzzle on her own even on her first attempt. The puzzle is of excellent quality too! So glad I ordered it!

My 3-year-old really enjoys this puzzle. Even though he found learning to count to 20 fairly easy, this puzzle has helped him recognize what the numbers look like, and it gives him great satisfaction to find the numbers randomly and place them in order. Plus he likes to count the animals or objects around each number if he forgets what number it is.
