My daughter is 2 1/2 yrs old and loves these puzzles. She does them over and over again. The wood backed pieces make them more durable than cardboard puzzles - and they are great for spatial reasoning.

We have a couple other M&D puzzles with fewer, larger pieces. The 48 piece ones we got here are by nature of their smaller piece to thickness ratio, harder to take apart and fit together. I'm hoping it gets easier and we're able to sort of break it in. Overall, great M&D quality, as always

We bought this puzzle for my 3 year old daughter for Christmas because right now she is in love with horses! Some pros and cons about the puzzle:

Cons:
- There is no picture of the puzzle on the background. For some reason, I thought there would be (as we have a couple very simple Melissa & Doug puzzles where when you remove the pieces, the picture is on the back so help the kiddo put the pieces in the right place.. and there isnt here). It'll take my daughter some practice, but its kinda hard to find what goes where when you dont have a picture of the puzzle!
- Some of the pieces are tight fitting. I think this may be because its new.. we just need to break it in some, but some of the pieces you have to give some force to put them together.

Pros:
- The durability.. gotta love Melissa & Doug! We are a huge fan of them, have so many of their toys, and the durability of this toy is excellent. Much better than those cardboard puzzles!
- The puzzle pieces are perfect for my daughter's hands. They aren't too small, so she can try to put them together.
- The picture isnt bad either! My daughter loves the picture of the horses! I do appreciate how the horses are all different colors.. it makes it easier finding which pieces go where (5 horses.. all different colors, it helps!).

Overall, we love this puzzle! I rated it a 4 star just simply b/c of the missing background picture.. dont get me wrong - the puzzle is not difficult to put together at all, but for a young child it might be.. simply b/c they have no picture of what they are putting together!
