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

This puzzle is beautiful - bright colors, nice chunky pieces - and very sturdy!

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

Its a well-made product. The pieces of the puzzle do not sit flush with the puzzle board. That makes it easy for little hands to pick up the pieces (especially hands of the younger children that you dont want playing with it yet). My son likes to put together the single digits to make the double digit numbers (e.g. hell put the 1 and 3 in the 13 space, as best he can... it doesnt exactly fit.). 9 and 6 are different colors from each other, so it helps young minds determine which is which. The puzzle board itself is really quite large, compared to my sons other toys.

We love Melissa and Doug puzzles. The colors are very bright.

Although Amazon shipped this much quicker than I expected, it is not what was pictured nor what Melissa & Doug used to sale. I have a number of Melissa & Doug puzzles that are painted on ALL sides. The older puzzles are made of real wood and feel much nicer than this pressed board crap. They are also cut to the image where the newer puzzles are mere outlines, haphazardly thrown together. I would have promptly returned this puzzle, but my 19 month old son really loves puzzles and saw this and the other 2 puzzles as they were coming out of the box. I cannot believe that these cost the same amount or more than the other puzzles we own, yet they are of such an inferior quality that I cannot believe the are trying to pawn it off as the same thing they used to sale. Shame on you Melissa & Doug.

We love this alphabet puzzle. Our daughter has a slight speech delay and one day we saw this puzzle being used on a youtube video and it really got her interest. We bought it right away and she started following along with that video, saying the letters. It isnt one of those toys that was interesting for 5 minutes. We have had it for months now and she still loves it and has learned a lot from it. There has been no peeling or chipping and has held up great. The part I like best is that even when the pieces are removed, there are still letters underneath to see and learn from.

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.

The title is just me being funny...but seriously!! I have loved every puzzle we have bought by Melissa & Doug...except this one. Though I can understand the thought of making it so colorful being attractive to children, it is eye straining to look at as an adult, let alone a toddler. After you take the letters out it is just a large mass of colors and animal pictures and extremely difficult to see the holes the letters go back into....they kind of just blend in with the mumbled mess of colors and pictures. My son (28 months old) just kind of looked at it and then got up and walked away after trying to fit a couple pieces in spots they didnt fit. And he LOVES these puzzles but it was clear he was as confused as I was trying to look at it. I ended up taking all the pieces out, painting the board all black except for the slots the letters fit into and voila! He loves it! Good puzzle concept...bad graphic decision!

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

Excellent service. Great item, for my grandson. Thank you !
