The Infantino Matching Colors and Textures Puzzles help young children learn colors and first words, develop matching skills and early problem-solving, and increase sensory skills and hand-eye coordination. The 20 two-piece puzzles are sturdy and fun for young children to hold and handle. One piece of the puzzle has a picture and name of a color or texture, and the second piece has a picture and name of a familiar object, such as an animal or food. Children look for the two puzzle pieces that fit together, using the pictures and words for clues as their skills increase. This colorful puzzle set is recommended for children 1 to 3 years old and comes with a handy carrying box with braided handle.

My daughter has plenty of toys with fancy lights and sounds that consume tons of batteries so I wanted something quiet. This toy was a good choice. I bought this puzzle when my daughter was 12 months old. She didn't start playing with it until 20 months. She now plays with it almost every day. Sometimes 2-3 times a day.

While she can match more than half of the puzzles at 21 months, she still cannot put the two matched pieces together. When she finds a match, she hands the two pieces to me and I put them together. I reinforce the educational aspect of toy by playing with her. I lay out all of the pieces on the floor and ask her to look for the black cat, yellow banana, beautiful butterfly, etc. When she finds a match, I praise her by clapping my hands. This encourages her to continue to play.

The box itself is also a fun game for my daughter. She's constantly trying to close the flaps and stick that one fish puzzle through the open slit. The box is also well made and has endured lots of pulling and tugging from the toy bin.

I only gave it four stars because this is a "two player" game. My daughter rarely plays with this puzzle by herself.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best puzzles for young kids!, September 3, 2007

Get this for your child or as a gift. It is highly educational. It introduces different colors (the basics), as well as patterns (such as striped, swirly, spotted, etc.). And then, there're the different textures (furry, fluffy, rough, bumpy, etc.) which can actually be felt and touched by the child. These descriptive words and pictures are then matched to its corresponding partner (ex: swirly=lollipop, furry=rabbit, pink=pig) by means of locking in two puzzle pieces. The groove-and-tongue pattern is simple and big enough for young ones and every pair of puzzle is different. Great for teaching adjectives, pairs, vocabulary, textures, spatial skills, colors, etc.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not many textured pieces, August 21, 2008

We just got this toy today and I was excited to have my son start playing with it when we got home. The product/idea is great. I just thought that there would be texture on each piece so that the child could learn to match by color, word, shape or texture. Only about 4 pieces out of 20 have texture on them.
