My three and a half year old loves dinosaurs, so this has been a big hit. For now, it is a great interactive toy, because he is not quite ready to put together the puzzle by himself, but seems to love to do it with me. I do not think he will get bored of it for quite some time as he learns to do more of it by himself.

The puzzle does not include a color picture of the completed piece, which has not been a problem (I thought it might). However, it does come with a black and white outline of the picture glued on the bottom of the tray, which has numbers on each dinosaur and a corresponding number key telling you the proper name for each dinosaur (allosaurus, spinosaurus, etc.) pictured in the puzzle. I LOVE THAT!

The puzzle pieces are color paper mounted on wood, and it comes with a wooden tray. So far, I give it marks for durability.

My son is nuts for this puzzle, which he got when he was 3 1/2 and is still nuts about at age 4. It's got so many different dinosaurs that it's very visually engaging. He never bothers to look at the "completed picture" to do puzzles so it didn't bother him that there isn't a color picture of what the puzzle should look like, just a black and white drawing.
However, the very first time he played with this one of the pieces split slightly and the paper came off. A few days later another piece did the same thing. They need to use a higher quality plywood. However, he's been playing with it like crazy and none of the other pieces have split.

We love the Melissa & Doug puzzles. My 34 month old loves jigsaw puzzles and this brand doesn't disappoint. Nice graphics and big sturdy pieces that are great for little hands. I can't think of any cons when it comes to any of the Melissa & Doug puzzles we have bought thus far.

I got this puzzle as a gift and it is the perfect size for a 3-4 year old. I find the small puzzles too easy and the really big ones too hard. He needs help on this puzzle, but can do a majority by himself. I would recommend this to any parent who likes to sit down and have a small project to do with a child.

A few reviewers complained that there was only a black-and-white graphic on the back, but mine is in color. The product developers must have responded to that concern.

This is a great puzzle. Good colors, good illustrations. Nice that the guide on the back gives the name of each dinosaur.

My 3-1/2 year old can put it together himself.

This puzzle is not only challenging, it motivates young children. My grandchildren,ages 3 and 5,love the dinosaurs. Not only are they colorful, they look life-like. I recommend this puzzle for all small children as it stimulates imagination and helps to develope dexterity and logic.

What a neat puzzle! My brother sent it for our daughter as a surprise and we all love the puzzle. Our 27-mo. old daughter adores dinosaurs and especially loves matching her 3D plastic dinosaurs to the pictures in this puzzle (we've left the plastic on for now so she can do this with ease). The colors are great and the dinosaurs depicted in a life-like (but not scary) manner. There are 13 different dinos pictures and they are all clearly labeled in the B&W picture that comes on a sheet on the back of the puzzle. Wonderful product.
