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

This is the perfect way to show your little one the alphabet. My sons only 2 and he has known his alphabet since he was 1 so the next best step is to teach him how to recognize the letters and this puzzle is perfect! What I do is lay all the puzzle pieces out and ask him for a letter if he gets confused and cant find it I can tell him for example give me the letter A for apple or alligator and hell know right away because each letter has a picture on it. I feel it helps toddlers remember things more effectively. Over all I am ver pleased with the puzzle good quality very smooth on the edges and the pieces are perfect for toddlers and little hands because they are chunky and very easy to put in their spots.

We love Melissa and Doug puzzles! Love the chunckiness of the pieces. The fit easily in our toddlers hand and she loves it.

Easy to grab numbers are perfect for little ones. My 2- and 4-year olds love to race to put the numbers back in their places. Some paint has chipped, but only because the pieces have been thrown onto the tile and hard wood floors repeatedly. Fun design for them to look at, too. The patterns make it easy for young children to recognize where the numbers should go before they start to learn how to count. Update: I have had this for about 3 years now and the pieces and board are still in good condition. A little more chipped than before just due to regular wear and tear by crazy boys. They also love to make piles of numbers, stacking them one on top of another. I think they learn to have more imaginative play with things as they get older, and something as simple as a number board can used for more things than just counting. I would definitely recommend this product. Get it early so it can grow with your child.

I credit this and ASL to my 2 year old knowing her letters already. I keep the letters in an old metal cookie tin and she loves the sound of dumping them out and putting them in the puzzle. We review the letter names as she does.

Numbers are big and bold. Love the size. Great for little hands to grab. My only complaint is the 6 and 9 are interchangeable and fit in each others pot. The colors don’t match but if you are doing numbers outside of the puzzle frame, then they could be either one. Overall a great puzzle.

I love this puzzle and so does my daughter. Very brightly colored and perfect for her little hands since she’s only a year old. It got three stars because it came a little damaged. The sides were scratched up and some of the pieces had dings. I decided to keep it because my daughter will probably do some wear and tear on it anyways so it just didn’t seem worth sending back. Otherwise, amazing product. Love it.

Great for toddlers learning numbers

My son loves it. He is 2.5 and loves numbers and letters. A great educational tool.
