I just want to echo what everyone else has said. This is a great puzzle. When I saw the preview picture, I imagined it was miniature size, but it's about as tall as a piece of paper.

This puzzle is a great way to teach questioning preschoolers about the body - the corresponding girl puzzle can be used with it to teach the basic difference between girls and boys (if asked) and everything else helps reinforce how similar we are.

There are only two things that I don't like about the puzzle:
1. It is only available as a pale skinned caucasian.
2. The boy and girl puzzles are ALMOST the same size, but not truly interchangeable. This makes it very hard if your child wants to work on both puzzles side by side, because it will look like the arm piece would fit in either puzzle, but actually it is will only fit flush on one of them. Besides being annoying, this also takes away from the message that both boys and girls have mostly similar body parts (same kind of lungs, same skull, etc).

This puzzle is fantastic! I had to show my 3.5 year old how to put the puzzle together the first time he used it but after that he was a pro at putting it together and taking it apart. He take it apart/put it together over and over again for awhile. He finds it fascinating and loves to talk about all the different body parts. I will explain to him what each body part does and he loves it - it's a very educational puzzle! This puzzle is made of solid well made wood - would last forever. Totally totally recommend!!!

I saw my 2.5 year old son put this puzzle together in his daycare room. I was impressed and his teacher told me that all the kids love the puzzle and can put it together (room is 2-3 year olds). It's a great opportunity to talk about the different parts of the body. The teacher has been so impressed with the puzzle she went out and bought the Seasons one for the classroom.
