Toddlers are facinated by the peg puzzle, which allow for them to easily manipulate pieces. This puzzle has been a great gift providing a quiet and educational opportunity. This very durable puzzle with bright colors easily encourages play that leads to understanding left and right.

I have two years old bright twins that are into puzzles. They are a little too young for most floor puzzles and too bored with the common stand-along pieces puzzles. This puzzle is an excellent transition to a higher level puzzle solving. The pieces interact together to form a bigger image. There is a built in logic to their interaction my kids love to explore. The add-on values such as colors and numbers in the pictures under the pieces are very useful. I wish I could find more puzzles like this one.

I bought this puzzle for Christmas for my two-year old niece. Not only did she learn how to put it together, but she loved it so much she would sleep with it at night! It has counting, colors, left, right, and a puzzle to boot.

The only negative was it arrived with a broken peg. A little super glue and it was as good as new. I would keep a close eye out for those pieces to break off as they would be choking hazards for little ones.

My little girl received this puzzle along with two other ones on her second birthday. I thought it would be a little too advanced for her but it turned out to be her favorite one! She showed me that with persistence little hands can achieve great things. She is two and half now and she still loves this puzzle, whether it is to count the objects on each finger or to learn the names of the fingers it keeps her busy each time she picks it up.

Definitely a must buy!!!! My two year old learned her right hand from her left hand by using this puzzle. Not only does she understand the concept of counting from 1 to 10, but she also understands that each finger on each hand is different from the other. This puzzle teaches spacial concepts, counting, colors, and coordination. I wish there were more puzzles like this one. If anyone knows of any, please contact me through Amazon.

My little boy loves puzzles, and this is probably his favorite one. And I like that it's so sturdy and will be able to be passed down to his sister!

This is a great puzzle. You can use it to teach many things like colors, right/left, etc. The knobs need to be a little bigger though and there are so many pieces, it's easy for them to get lost. But still very much worth purchasing.

I thought that this would be toy my daughter would grow into and not be excited about at first. This was the first toy she opened at Christmas at only 19 months and was not interested in any others for the rest of the week! She enjoyed collecting the fingers and and "counting" them. She also has grown in the last few months to putting the puzzle together herself although the fingers might not make it on the correct hand just yet. Very durable, love that it is a traditional wood toy that doesn't have flashing lights or needs batteries! She still loves it months later. The only downside to any toy like this, is we have to collect the pieces after she has put them in various places around the house.

My kids love this puzzle. It's in my pediatrician's office, and they run to it every time. My son, now 4, has been interested in it since he was 2, and my 2 year old is now fascinated by it as well.

Little hands do well with the two hands on this puzzle. The bright, colorful art and images have thrilled my children. It is well made and sturdy. My children think of this as a "big kids" puzzle since it isn't farm or baby animals. It makes them proud when they put it together!
