Love it. My son is 2 years old and was putting this together with some help by his birthday. At 27 months he was able to do it on his own. The pieces are thick and sturdy. He plays with the puzzle a couple of times a day for 4 months and the pieces have not bent, yet. You can wipe them clean as they claim. My son also drools and the pieces are no worse for the wear. He likes to point out the different animals while doing the puzzle especially the elephant and snake. I like the colors and the border helps him figure out the edges since he does not have the concept of the plat edge yet. I would recommend this puzzle.

Our nearly 3 year old really enjoys puzzles. These floor puzzles are perfect for his age as the pieces are large, the themes are enjoyable and the pieces are quite durable. Our son likes to leave this put together on the floor for long periods of time and inevitably ends up walking on them. None of the pieces have broken or peeled. These have worked better than the all-wood puzzles. He has broken several pieces of the all-wood puzzles, but these heavy cardboard pieces hold up well.

This puzzle is sturdy and just perfect for my 2 yr old. Good quality stuff. ORder was received in a timely manner.

This puzzle is perfect for 3 year olds. The animals are kids favorites, very colorful and are large enough that even young children can piece it together. As for the durability, its already starting to bend and peel only 2 weeks in, but my son is pretty hard on his toys and he's been doing the puzzle once or twice a day (thats how much he loves it! So unless it's steel-coated I don't think anything would be durable enough.

We love Melissa and Doug products!! I am very impressed with the floor puzzle and how big it is when put together. I will be buying more floor puzzle's from Melissa and Doug!

I bought this puzzle for my niece at Christmas, and she loved it! She was able to put it together with some help the first few times, and then she figured out how to look at the picture on the box to match which pieces went where. She turned 3 yesterday, and she still plays with and loves this puzzle. The pieces are strong, and they're a good size for kids' hands (not too small). My niece likes to put the puzzle together on the hardwood floor and then walk on it - the puzzle easily stands up to this. I highly recommend this for any young puzzle-lover!

My daughter is almost three years old and LOVES doing puzzles. The Melissa and Doug puzzles are the best ones I've found because the pieces aren't flimsy and the stay together so well. My only disappointment is that after doing the puzzle only twice I've noticed that the picture is already peeling off some of the pieces. It's nothing a bit of glue can't fix, but a disappointment coming from such a consistently high quality company, nonetheless.

When my daughter turned 2, she became enthralled with puzzles. We bought several puzzles, but many were either too small for her fingers to manipulate or the pieces were too thin. We found the Safari Social puzzle on-line and it has lasted the past 10 months as if it just came out of the box (This despite the fact that my daughter is not the most gentile child with her toys). The colors are vibrant and my daughter enjoys pointing out animal names. She is now able to concentrate and complete on her own. I have since bought similar puzzles: Pets, Undersea Jamboree, and Traffic Jam. She enjoys them all. An exceptional product.

My son who is 2 3/4 has recently moved up from fit-it-in the cutout-shape type puzzles and we needed something sturdier and deeply cut (some cheap puzzles can barely stay together because the cardboard used is very thin). This fits the bill, is brightly colored and easy for him to put together. It's a good confidence booster as he starts this new type of puzzle. Quality product. I anticipate it being in great condition and a good handmedown toy when the time comes.
