I have a 7 year old and twin 4 year olds. I bought it for the 7 year old to work on geography over the summer. All three children love puzzles and love that this puzzle talks. They all use it and it will make learning the US states and capital much easier and more fun. Be careful if you leave it in the family room without the pieces because the lights from the room and TV activate the speaker and the puzzles talks to you all evening long. Keep the puzzle pieces in the puzzle or the puzzle in the closet.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great toy -- breaks in a heartbeat, August 20, 2007

Purchased these for my four year old twins who love puzzles. They worked fine to start, but after a few days they both broke. They weren't subjected to rough play or anything, but now some of the states don't work, and they go off at random times, like when you walk near them, or turn the lights in the room off. I've had to take them out of the kids' rooms because at all hours of the night I would hear "Idaho -- Boise," and "California -- Sacramento." I was extremely dissatisfied with their durability.

I am very impressed with the quality of this puzzle and my daughter loves playing with it. The sound announces the state name and capital city when a piece is placed. Very good for learning geography of the USA.
