This is a nice map, but I was hoping for individual pieces for each state.

This puzzle is rated for 3+. My four year old needs help with this puzzle. Every piece fits with any piece. So you need to know the states locations. So each state isn't a piece. It's made of great quality! I don't know it is worth 25 dollars though. You can get some other nice floor puzzles a lot cheaper. But they are not foam and can't be washed ect.

Definitley needs adult help. Alaska is cropped and placed in a box below Mexico to keep the overall size functional but I dont like that positioning.

My daughter absolutely loves this map, we took it to her school for a presentation and the teachers thought it was absolutely fabulous. The vivid colors and the texture and quality of the product are wonderful.

The 3 year old twins did need adult help the first couple of times we put the puzzle together. After 5 days, they were able to put the puzzle together between the two of them. After approx 10 days they were each able to complete the puzzle on their own (even though the puzzle pieces fit into multiple pieces). Thus, I agree I would have preferred that the pieces fit only into specific pieces, however, my nephews have learned where each piece goes and will reiterate terms such as "Georgia Peaches" and "Arizona Cactus". The other day, one of the twins saw a bridge and asked his mom if it was the "Golden Gate Bridge" - a great and fun way to learn. And the twins piece this puzzle together over and over. I am now buying the World Puzzle for their 4th birthday.

Very durable and fun, yet educational. My son doen't realize that he's learning while doing the puzzle, but he can identify certain states, etc where family and friends live.

Never did I think my 4 yr old would love this, but he chose it to put on his list for Santa. It came and he plays with it constantly. The case is a huge plus. Very durable foam with great colors and fun pictures. Capitols included. Agree that I would have liked the states to be the puzzle shapes, but for my 4 yr old, he loves it. Great value.

This is a wonderful learning toy for my 2 year old that loves to memorize everything he sees. I will help him remember some of the names of the states and where they go, but that it what its all about anyway. Plus it is supposed to be for 3+. The only thing I don't like about the puzzle is that most states are made from several pieces making it a bit harder to remember their shape and size.

I love this puzzle. It allows my daughter who is 8 really get into the different countries, seas, oceans, she is starting to get that the world is huge! Its colorful, with symbols that are recognizable to her, such as the animals or people.

Thank you!
