5 out of 5 stars Hilarious   August 16, 2010
KYP (Lakewood, CO United States)
We started with the Melissa & Doug Vehicle Chunky set - and after my son being so in love with it, we had to get a few more.

This one is SOOO FUN! As he puts the puzzle pieces in, I'll tell him what the animal is and what noises they make and he tries to repeat (for now at least, when I say Cow, he doesn't say mama). Ha!

The puzzle is very sturdy. My son likes to peel off the pictures or rip up the pieces of his previous puzzles, with this - he hasn't succeeded.

What I like about this is that the picture is on the board so he just has to match the shape on the puzzle piece and stick it to the board. It's helping him figure out sizes/shapes and fits. I really like this.

As for complaints of previous reviewers: I don't expect this toy to be like the ones of olden days where they are hand painted and hand made and blah blah blah. It may last though this kiddos childhood, but I'm not planning on this to last through several generations. It does what I need it to do and for the price, come on, it doesn't get any better.



1 out of 5 stars Quality sucks!   July 9, 2010

I saw this puzzle at a friends house and she must have had the older version - wood, handpainted. My daughter really liked to play with it, so I decided to get one. What a dissappointment .. the pictures of the animals are nice, but on this one they are just a cheap paper sticker. The 11 mo old daughter of a friend got hold of the duck. She is still in the age where she sticks everything in her mouth and sure enough the sticker got soaked and peeled off and the duck is without a face now. And I don't know how safe this is to ingest. I know that the box says the toy is for 2+, but if you have playdates with children of different ages those things can happen. Maybe the company could go back to their original values and produce a better quality toy!

I bought one of these puzzles (Sea Life) a few years ago, and it was a beautiful puzzle. The puzzle pieces were completely painted and smooth. I have seen all the puzzles in this style at libraries and church nurseries and they have all been beautiful. Until now. Melissa and Doug have changed the style of this puzzle. I bought two (Farm and Vehicles) today expecting them to be nice like my old one. The pieces are no longer painted. They have stickers on top of scratchy particle board (i.e. jagged bottom edges and dusty stuff falling all over). The cow use to have defined, carved ears and now it is just a smooth top with a sticker that looks like it was cut wrong. What's more, I got this today, opened it 1 hour ago, and the stickers are already peeling off. My toddler hasn't even put these in his mouth yet--and I won't let him as chunks of the "wood" will come off into his mouth if he did and the stickers would probably disintegrate. I have written the company to let them know that this new idea is a bad one. Don't buy unless they change it back.

Great puzzle for a 1 yr old. Durable, and the animal pictures are visible even when shapes are removed (unlike other puzzles where you would only see the shaped wood). This enhances my 1 yr old daughter's ability to recognize where the pieces belong.
