Editorial Review

Lift the pieces in this sturdy wooden puzzle to reveal the animals hiding under the colorful farm scene. A barn, a truck, a chicken coop, a haystack, a wagon, and bushes hide a collection of animals, including pigs wallowing in the mud, chickens roosting, a cat perching up high in the barn, and a cow waiting to be milked, plus a horse, dogs, and ducks. Assemble the puzzle again to put everyone away until the next game of peekaboo. This is a terrific puzzle for the very young--each of the approximately 1.5-by-3-inch pieces features a grip knob to help maneuver the pieces into place. --Richard Farr

This review is from: Wooden Farm 9-piece Peg Puzzle (Toy)

I bought this puzzle when my firstborn was one year old and he has loved playing with it as has his little brother. There is something very appealing (and wholesome) about kids loving farm animals...even those living in the suburbs with no farm in sight.

As with all the wooden peg puzzles from this manufacturer, the quality is high and they are very durable. The key to this brand, unlike others in same price range, is that the photo is idential underneath as on the piece itself. This is key for one year olds and even two year olds to master using the puzzle. I have seen both my kids struggle when 1 or 2 with different puzzles that are blank underneath or worse, show a different scene under the piece than on the piece.

I think it is wise to start off right at age one with the wooden peg puzzles as a plaything. My kids also play with the pieces separately from just making the puzzle. After they've mastered matching the piece and fitting it in, usually when they are around 2 they can do the different puzzles that don't have the image underneath.

Doing matching exercises and fitting these pieces into their proper places aids with hand eye coordination and thinking skills. Every child should have several of these puzzles of their own to play with.

The puzzle holder by this manufacturer is very useful to store the puzzles when they are not being played with and I highly recommend that as well.

This is a great gift for any holiday!

This review is from: Wooden Farm 9-piece Peg Puzzle (Toy)

This puzzle is very durable, the pictures are bright and clear ... and realistic, rather than cartoon-ish. My son received this when he was about 18 months. It's been helpful with dexterity and matching. Most of these kinds of puzzles say they're for 3 yrs and up. I don't think you need to wait until then. I highly recommend this puzzle and others that are similar from this same company. I have a few, and am very satisfied.

I got this puzzle for my girl's first birthday. She loves it. It is a very high quality toy that should last forever. The animals pictures are very colorful and well painted. She still chews on everything, but has not been able to damage this puzzle in any way. The pegs really help her pick up the peices and set them down (not in the right place yet), and the pegs are not removeable like I was worried about, but are buried deep in the wood and are very safe. I highly recommend this puzzle for all children over a year old.
