Product Description

These big puzzle pieces with large, easy-to-grab knobs are designed to teach colors and shapes. Featured are a red circle and octagon, yellow rectangle and pentagon, blue oval and triangle, and green diamond and square. Color illustrations found under each puzzle piece are intended to make the problem-solving more fun.

Product Description

Wait till you see what is under each piece of this puzzle! Extra large knobs make it easy for tiny hands to remove each of the eight brightly colored geometrically shaped pieces. Under each piece is a realistically illustrated, similarly shaped object. Kids learn to recognize shapes in their environment, as well as develop matching skills and improve dexterity. This super-sized solid wood puzzle with extra chunky, thick pieces is a perfect first puzzle.

I bought this yesterday from a toys r us store for $4.99 plus tax. $19.99 is a total rip off for this. My son does love it and it is a great toy to buy for your child but this price is not justified unless you live on a mountain top and have it delivered to your door. All the wooden puzzles by Melissa and Doug are $4.99 at toys r us and target. So either both stores in my area are mispricing them or online is over charging for the same thing.

I recently purchased this puzzle for my seventeen month old son. I didn't think he would be ready to play with puzzles, but I was wrong! This puzzle has huge pieces with very large knobs, making it very easy for small hands to grasp. He will sit and remove all the pieces, and then slowly move each one around the board until he finds the correct home for it! The pieces can be removed and placed back in their correct spaces very easily, they don't have to be forced back in place or pulled out with any force. I would recommend this puzzle for any child, age toddler and up!

This is a wonderful puzzle that is both fun and educational. The puzzle is made of thick, quality plywood and very durable. It has taken quite a bit of abuse from my 19 mo. old daughter. She tries to carry it from room to room and like most toddlers, thinks that if she presses the peices in each slot hard enough, it will eventually fit, hehe. Despite this abuse it has held up nicely. The colors have not faded and the puzzles pieces are big and easy for small hands to handle. The large knobs on each piece are especially nice for small hands. There are also pictures of similarly shaped objects beneath each shape to help reinforce it. Overall, a great toy that I think will withstand most any childs daily play.
