Melissa & Doug Vehicles Jumbo Knob Wooden Puzzle (8 pcs)

The children love them

I bought several of these type of puzzle (same brand) and I cant tell if theyre damaged, defective, or different version made this way. The listing and image on the back shows no seams/cracks between puzzle pieces. The reviewed images shows a mix of one with and without seams/cracks

Very nice large chunky puzzle for a 1 year old

Good product!

My 18 month old Grandson loves this puzzle. He started playing with it immediately and knew exactly what to do.

Great product,grandkids loved it. Thank you

Knobs is are absolutely perfect for tiny hands. Sturdy well made puzzle that stands up to rugged toddler play.

Cute

These are great for learning vehicles and the sounds they make. You have to supply the sounds :-) These puzzles are really well made and will last through a 2 year olds toss around the room. The little handles one each puzzle piece are invaluable for little hands. At first it was a little difficult for our son to get the shapes in their corresponding holes. However, this actually helped with his manual dexterity and allowed us to work with him to explain how he needed to turn the pieces till they fit. After a short period of time, this was not an issue any longer and the pieces were going right into place.

I work in a childcare center and I bought this puzzle for my class for Christmas. I read through all the reviews and I saw that there seemed to be different opinions and reviews on whether the puzzle pieces were painted on wood or stickers/decals. I was pleased with the puzzle when I received it. It seemed to be very well constructed and the pieces were very bright and perfect for grasping. I took the puzzle and gave it to them at 7 am on a Monday morning. By 10:30 that same morning one of the puzzle pieces was ruined. It is stickers/decals on the puzzle pieces and part of the decal had already been scraped off revealing grey cardboard underneath. I still think Melissa & Doug puzzles are very appealing to children and Im not saying that I wont buy them in the future, however I did want to let people know that they are stickers/decals on the puzzle pieces, not hand painted wood like I think they were in the past. I did read the age suggestion before I bought it and it was in the appropriate age range for my class. Infants and young toddlers chew on everything...especially when they are teething. The decals/stickers on this puzzle are on the piece very well, but little teeth can scrape the sticker/decal off so just be aware before you buy. My actual star review would be 3.5 if I could actually rate it that way.
