Product Description

This encyclopedia-like United States of America Map puzzle provides loads of information for each of the 50 states. The Fun Facts Guide lists each state's capital, nickname, bird, motto, and flower, and includes such state trivia as the nickname of Wyoming ("The Equality State") and the motto of Oregon ("Alis Volat Propriis--She flies with Her Own Wings"). Each colorful wooden puzzle piece is decorated with symbols representative of its state. The massive California piece, which is broken into southern and northern regions, includes illustrations of exotic animals from the San Diego Zoo, a computer icon from Silicon Valley, and an image suggestive of a redwood forest. Such information helps puzzle builders equate national landmarks, industries, and well-known regions in the United States to specific states and cities. --Cate Bick

5.0 out of 5 stars Tools for geniuses, January 9, 2007

I was more than pleased with the puzzle map of the United States. As a child I can remember having one, and loving it. It was heavy-duty cardboard as I remember. Then when I grew up and had my own children I read an article that said there were several toys you should buy for your children if you want to raise geniuses, and one of them (not being a genius myself, I remember only one of them) was a puzzle map of the U.S. So my children always had one. And I have a wooden one that I keep here for my grandchildren. The Puzzibilities Deluxe map was bought for the grandson of a friend. I almost kept it in place of the one I have, it was so much nicer.

This puzzle is FANTASTIC! It is really great - colorful, durable, there is a transparent sheet you can put down first if you want to see the state outlines underneath - or if you want it a bit more challenging, do it without the transparency! Love this puzzle - lots of learning going on in the household with this around. I'm really glad we got this.

My two year old is fascinated by the states in this puzzle and their placement. Because the puzzle comes with a plastic insertable mat that goes on the bottom that has outlines of each state, it makes it a bit easier for a younger child to note the placement of each state. Each state piece is painted, too. That provided some color identification for pieces.
