I got this puzzle for my daughter for her third birthday and she just loves the bright colors and the vivid images of the bugs and flowers. The first time it was completed she was so amazed by how pretty it looked and insisted on using it as a napping pad! Each piece is distinct enough to tell apart, and the adjacent pieces usually share some common feature (such as a bright-colored pedal or a wing of a dragonfly), so that even though she is challenged, she can complete it by herself after some time. In that sense the puzzle is great for fostering patience and building confidence. It's been two months and she still plays with it. Recently I brought it to my office and now we can both have our "quiet time" when she visits.

I got several large puzzles to try and interest my niece and nephew in something other than dinosaurs. This one was a big hit because we were able to find some bugs they had already seen. Then we counted them all, named as many as they could, and then went outside to see if we could find any like those in the puzzle. The puzzle is very wide when all together, and the colors are terrific.

My 3 year old has recently become interested in puzzles and this one is perfect for her. Currently, its just a step too advanced, which makes for good mommie-and-me time as I help her with it. She'll grow into it soon enough. The pieces are very large and sturdy, the color is great and the picture very interesting. After it is assembled, my kid loves to count the various bugs and name them. Its a great learning tool on many levels. It also has a unique shape which adds interest.

This puzzle is perfect learning tool.Its not boring and your child will love it.

This is a great puzzle! I am an Activity Director in a Dementia Unit. This is great to use right on the table for a group of residents. Some of the residents can sort the pieces by color and some pick the edge pieces to help with putting the puzzle together. The pieces are large enough for them and the picture is great for adults or children.

Rarely can you find such a beautiful puzzle. My almost 2 year old daughter and her 4 1/2 year brother love it (although they need my help). She is obsessed with puzzles too advanced for her age but this helps because the pieces are large (approx. 4"). He names the bugs, they are both proud because of the size and amount of action in it.

I bought this for my 4 year old son for Christmas. What can I say? Melissa and Doug lives up to the expectation every time. My son worked on it all by himself; and then laid on the floor looking at every bug and of course there was a story to go along with each bug! He was proud of himself that he could complete it on his own. The pieces are big for little hands and durable. This is a great item and I can tell you that each time he gets it out, I can count on him being busy for awhile...but it is also a great thing for us to do together and talk about the bugs! Although I am not allowed to put the pieces into place without his consent! Great Item!! I ended up buying this for another 4 year old for a birthday gift and was told it was a hit!

My 2.5 year old son got this for the holidays... he is crazy about this puzzle. He could put it together with some help right away, but now, he can even work on it independently. The colors are vibrant and the construction is durable. And, he really enjoys talking about the different insects pictured. This is a puzzle he wants to come back to again and again.

I got this for my four year old. It doesn't come with a picture guide to put it together, but it isn't hard. My daughter can even put most of it together by herself. Since it's a floor puzzle she loves to put it together and run across it and it stays together. We have lots of fun looking at all the bugs and counting them.

I shipped this straight to my twin nieces so I am rating based on what their mom told me. It was a good educational gift for Christmas.
