Fun and Durable

Review Date: May 21, 2004

Reviewer: Joshua Koppel, Chicago, IL United States

These are just great. Four 12-piece puzzles made out of very durable materials (see Pros below). The sturdy wooden box has four compartments under a sliding lid. Each of the four puzzles are theme related. These four are Forklift, Cement Truck, Dump Truck, and Digger.

Pros:
Easy but not too-easy puzzles.
Pieces fit well together.
Nice pictures.
Sturdy container.
Each puzzle has a different shape printed on the back to make sorting the puzzles easier.
Super durable. I did not realize just how durable they were until I found a piece in my dishwasher. Even after being washed the picture was fine and the wood in perfect condition.

Cons:
It may take a few moments to figure out how to fit an entire puzzle's pieces in a single compartment.
Lid does not lock closed.

My kids love these and you will too.

My son's favorite toy!

This is my 3 year old son's favorite toy. He needed help with it at first, but now he is able to do all four puzzles on his own. He puts the puzzles together over and over again each day. The size makes it a great toy to travel with. It is the perfect puzzle for a child who is ready to move on from the bigger wooden puzzles with the knobs. My only complaint is that the box should be slightly bigger. My son sometimes has trouble shutting the lid of the box when he puts all the pieces away. A bigger box would solve that problem.

Hours of fun

Our son (2-3/4) plays with this over and over. And, putting the pieces back into the box is as much a part of the game as putting the pieces together, so clean up is not an issue. Who would have thought that with 6 months of playing with 4 puzzles on an almost daily basis you would have no missing pieces! Sturdy and colorful and well built (as have been other "Melissa & Doug" products we've found...)

These puzzles are great!

My 3 year old son plays with them all the time. They are a little challenging and he loves to see the completed puzzle. The box is great and keeps the puzzles separate. Each puzzle peice is marked on the back for easy sorting. I am ordering all of the boxed sets ASAP!

Great puzzle set!!!

We love this set of four well-made puzzles. They are great for outings and they keep my 3 year-old busy in a restaurant. The box is great to store it all and each of the four puzzles has a different symbol on the back, so it makes for easy clean up.
