This review is from: Melissa & Doug Basic Skills Board (Toy)

This is a beautifully made puzzle that is a good challenge for 2 year olds. Under each piece there is a picture of the inside of the object (what's in the backpack, what's under the shirt, etc.) which is extra fun. The buttons, laces, zipper are large enough for little hands. It will take some time for the little ones to get the hang of completing the tasks, but it's time well spent and they'll feel great once they can do it. Wonderful for those who are beginning to want to dress themselves ("I'll do it myself!" they say, right?) Now, they have a way to practice those skills so they can feel successful. Highly recommend this!

I bought this for my son so he could learn the basics at his pace. He mastered all but the shoe in one day. Not only does it have the top pieces, but you can remove them to reveal a picture underneath. A great investment for anyone. My daughter will be able to learn form it too.

It's a GREAT skills puzzle! However, it doesn't fit in the puzzle holder made by the same company. All our others do and this one sits on tops. . .rather unfortunate.
