This puzzle has kept my son's interest for a couple of years now. Because the pictures under the pieces don't match the piece he really has to think about where each piece goes. It helps him now that he's 3 to identify the numbers and count items to figure out where they go, rather than just looking at the shapes.

My hyper active 20 month daughter loved it - while nothing lasts her interest for more that 2 minutes .. this kept her at one place for atleast 15 -20 minutes.

I was hoping that this puzzle will last long.. but my daughter was able to chip a couple of blocks after 2 months of active use.
(My daughter took out the door of our TV stand when she was 9 months - just to give you a perspective that this product is not too flimsy).

I definely recommend this product.

Our son plays with this board while I'm feeding him. He's only 20 months, but using this board is helping us introduce the numbers to him. It's well built. Arrived in only a couple days. Our son loves it!!

I teach mentally handicapped adults at a local community college, and if you want durable puzzles that your students can use over and over again, I strongly recommend getting puzzles like this. It's durable and can get students to focus their attention. Worth getting.

Overall I have been very happy with the Melissa & Doug products. My children (2 & 3) really enjoy them and have learned a lot from them. This puzzle is well made and the pieces fit very well. I do have to warn you though that it is very hard to keep track of the pieces.

I bought this because my 22m likes puzzles and has good hand-eye coordination. He has showed an interest in letters and numbers recently. I tried to find something that was nicer but couldn't. I would preferred a sturdier puzzle with more vibrant colors. I don't really expect much from M&D products and this lived up to my expectation: it gets the job done. But really, I wish it was nicer. It clearly isn't going to last long and I would have chosen something nicer if I had found it.

That being said it has helped his number learning. We often play with it in companion to an alphabet/number book.

It would have been better if the number 10 was included in this puzzle. My son is learning to count to 10. When he is counting with this puzzle, he is looking for the number 10.

1. The 6 and 9 pieces are interchangeable...that led to some confusion.
2. I want this same puzzle with no glossy paper glued on. The remains of a drink were spilled onto it and the paper is now peeling off and it also absorbed the stain

The whole reason I buy wooden toys is for durability -- this same toy with just a stained/painted/plain wood would be perfect

This is an excellent number puzzle for very young children. The pieces each have a peg so little kids can easily take them in and out. The design not only introduces children to numbers but the pictures underneath illustrate the amount the number indicates. Great for helping kids grasp the concept!

the pictures are a little off. The puzzle is durable and has survived slobber. I would recommend it for someone trying to help their younger kids learn numbers/counting.
