5.0 out of 5 stars Toddler/Preschooler FUN!, December 25, 2008

This review is from: Melissa & Doug Magnetic Hide and Seek Board (Toy)

This puzzle is excellent. There are nine "doors" which have a likeness of an object that holds things:

-barn (holds a cow)
-lunch box (holds a magnet with an image of a thermos, sandwich, and an apple)
-present (holds a teddy bear)
-cookie jar (holds chocolate chip cookies)
-garage (holds a car that looks like a Mini Cooper)
-oven (holds a turkey in a roasting pan)
-dog house (holds a dog)
-covered bird cage (holds a parrot)
-treasure chest (holds a magnet with an image of a crown, goblet, jewels, and gold coins)

The child is supposed to match the object to which "door" is goes into.

Bottom line:
Best pro - the pieces inside the "doors" are magnetic so if the puzzle gets knocked over, they won't go all over the place and make a mess.
Con - the hinges are cheap brass, and it quality of them don't live up to the Melissa & Doug name. But this is not something that would have kept me from buying this puzzle. It's great.

This review is from: Melissa & Doug Magnetic Hide and Seek Board (Toy)

I purchased this for my almost 2 year old son and he just loves it! It's a great toy to use for teaching toddlers what different things are, and where they go (like the dog in the doghouse, the turkey in the oven, the car in the garage...you get the idea). You can also use it to teach colors since each door is a different color on the inside.

I gave this 3 stars for durability only because the little magnets that go behind each door are covered with a sticker that can peel and come off should your toddler chew on it or put it in their mouth (which I'm willing to bet many toddlers will do), but that's a minor thing really.

Overall, I absolutely recommend this. It's a very unique toy that I believe most children will enjoy playing with. I've yet to be disappointed by a Melissa & Doug product, and we own many!

My speech therapist uses this puzzle to interact with my three year old son who has autism. This puzzle has prompted my son to say so many new words! Love it!!!
