I have other Melissa and Doug puzzles, and expected this one to be just as good. Mistake. The older ones had pictures painted on the wood board, this one has a paper picture glued on. The safety of your baby eating that paper and glue is unclear...
On top of this, the board is not solid wood, but looks like a few thin boards pressed together (sorry, don't know what it's called!) - the edges are very sharp, I tried to file the rough sides down and cut my hand!
Of course, no way my son is playing with this puzzle, so all its cuteness and pretty sound education value - along with my money, are going to waste. Think twice before buying.

I'm a middle school English teacher. When my students finish their work early, they are allowed to play with logic puzzles that I have acquired over the years. I just purchased this product, along with several others, and am extremely happy with it. It really makes you think.
I completed the rooster; it took a while but I did it. You feel such accomplishment when you get all the pieces to work. When the kids are successful, they will say (tongue in cheek), "I smart." After completing it, I couldn't help saying, "I smart." Get one--you won't regret it.

My 2 year old loves this puzzle. The puzzle is big, but she loves to see the train grow across the room. It's very durable, and she has learned both animals and her letters and can do the puzzle now by herself at 2.5.
We have purchased Melissa & Doug puzzles before so we knew they are good quality and our grandchildren would enjoy them. They are well made and the wood box the pieces come makes it easy to take on a trip
or store between visits. These puzzles are great for children just beginning to learn how to piece together
one since their finished size isn't all that big and the pieces are big enough for small hands. I would definitely
recommend them for pre-schoolers.

This was very interesting to see her play with this. This year in school she will be learning the states and their capitals, the continents and the oceans. When she put the puzzle together she got a good look at where everything is in the world.

This product does just what we wanted: inexpensive and will make it possible to move puzzles from the dining room table so we can eat! Less likely to lose pieces as well.
When i opened the box and saw this puzzle, i was so impressed with the quality and durability. The colors are vivid. the pieces are not tiny and thin, they are a good size and very thick, can take abuse. My step-grandson loved it. The best part, he can't destroy it, he is very hard on his toys, but this will hold up. I would buy Melissa and Doug products again and i would recommend this product to anyone. Excellent puzzle and great price.

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.
Purchased this for my 6 year old, only to discover that half of the sides are identically marked. This makes actually soving the cube akin to doing it in the dark. It does not make it easier, it makes it significantly harder. Eventually we added stickers to each side to distinguish them. Once done, my son needed less than an hour to figure it out on his own. Now the baby chews on it without protest.
