I love the Melissa and Doug stuff -- well made, colorful toys are always welcome in my house.

This puzzle is perfect for wee ones who can manipulate floor puzzles and like castles and princesses and the like.

However -- be aware that this is actually a 24-piece puzzle, not a 48-piece puzzle. We have two of these, purchased hundreds of miles apart, and both have 24 pieces, instead of the 48 listed on both boxes.

My 4yr old isn't crazy about doing puzzels,but I've tried to encourage her becasue of the good thinking process & eye/hand coordination it requires. Anyway, found this large, pretty sturdy cardboard puzzel & she does it often. So, I think it was the subject matter - everything is Princess nowadays with her, so she was more inclinded to do a puzzle of this castle.

Only bad thing I can say is that OY, it's a bear to get back in the box if all the pieces aren't just so! Otherwise a great purchase.

Puchased for my grandoughter who is 5 years old. She liked very much playing the puzzle. Only thing we didnot like the quality of side parts gone bad very quickly.

my 3yo dd got this from Santa for Christmas, and she LOVES it! I hear "let's do puzzles, Mama!" at least 3x/day -- the floor puzzles were definitely a hit w/our kids!

I'm always looking for activities that we can do together. My daughter loves castles and princesses, so she's interested from the start. We talk about how to look for clues as to how the pieces go together. It has big pieces that are easy for small hands to handle. I'm only giving 4 stars because it's not usually her pick. It's our pick, and then she joins in the fun.

Their puzzles are awesome...the pieces go together well and they have a good finish on them and are very durable. My 3 and 5-year olds haven't been able to destroy them under constant use!

I do wish Melissa & Doug had a better policy for lost pieces though. It seems wasteful that you have to toss a puzzle after losing just one piece. I was told that pieces don't always fit 100% which is why they don't supply them, but kids wouldn't care - - they are so bummed they lost a piece to one of their puzzles!

We love puzzles, and this one was a lot of fun. I bought it for a 5-year-old girl as a bday gift. It did have 48 pieces. It does have a strong pastic smell the first time you take it out of the box.

Great gift for a 4 year old who loves to do puzzles and thinks about princesses all the time. When finished, the puzzle can also be the backdrop for imaginative stories with dolls and animals of all sorts.

Once again, I bought this for a gift, but my Sister-in-law has only good to say about it. She says that it is very durable, and easy to clean if spots appear (kids will do that ya know!) The kids really like being able to get something out to play with on the floor.

I got this puzzle as a gift to a friend of mine's daughter and she loved it.. as well as the other children. And the parents asked where i got it becuase their children didn't want to stop putting it together.. it's a fun game to play as a family or with your child..
