These are just great. Four 12-piece puzzles made out of very durable materials (see Pros below). The sturdy wooden box has four compartments under a sliding lid. Each of the four puzzles are theme related. These four are Kitten, Puppy, Bunny, and Pony (there are two different sets with the same animals but different pictures).

Pros:
Easy but not too-easy puzzles.
Pieces fit well together.
Nice pictures.
Sturdy container.
Each puzzle has a different shape printed on the back to make sorting the puzzles easier.
Super durable. I did not realize just how durable they were until I found a piece in my dishwasher. Even after being washed the picture was fine and the wood in perfect condition.

Cons:
It may take a few moments to figure out how to fit an entire puzzle's pieces in a single compartment.
Lid does not lock closed.

My kids love these and you will too.

4.0 out of 5 stars nice puzzles, April 23, 2005

This review is from: Melissa & Doug Pets in a Box (Toy)

My 2.5 yr old loves these puzzles. When the puzzle is assembled each picture is small ... probably half the size of a standard sheet of paper. But that is fine....each puzzle has 12 pieces.

The puzzle pieces are wood but seems very thin wood. I do not use the unfinished wood box to store the puzzle due to all the complaints against this puzzle's sister puzzle set (4 Wood Vehicle Puzzles in a Box also by Melissa & Doug). I place each puzzle in a zip lock bag and give my child one puzzle at a time.

Since he is new to the puzzles I sit with him and help when he starts to get frustrated. He can do 2 of the 4 puzzles by himself and has only used them for about 2 weeks.

The price is worth it.

Fantastic gift for boys and girls alike and they can really play without the worry of the puzzle pieces getting bent. Very colorful pictures and easy pieces to hold and work with. Plus, you have a place to keep them when they are not being used. Great price, too!
