This review is from: Melissa & Doug Shapes - Chunky Puzzle (Toy)

Great concept, but I was disappointed to find that the shapes are plain wood with colored paper on just the front, rather than painted wood all the way around. One or two mouthings and the paper started wearing off within the first day! I generally really like M&D products, so was sorry this one wasn't more durable. I'll probably only buy these in stores in the future where I can examine the quality more easily before I buy.

This review is from: Melissa & Doug Shapes - Chunky Puzzle (Toy)

This puzzle is really great for a few reasons. When my daughter younger and we were learning shapes, she LOVED holding all the shapes and naming them. Also they are different colors which is fun, and helps teach colors. The other thing it's great for is dexterity. My daughter is now 26 months old, and still has trouble manipulating the star, rectangle and triangle the right directions, to fit into the holes. This poses a fun and interesting challenge for her. She loves to do the puzzle with me. I put all the pieces in the wrong places and she gets very annoyed and corrects my mistakes, which is another fun game. It's a great toy for a kid to play with on their own, or with a parent.

My daughter got this for her first birthday and it helped her to quickly identify shapes and colors. I love all of Melissa and Doug's products and this product is no exception. It is great because the pieces are so chunky and easy for a small child to manipulate.
