 Neat puzzle! February 7, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a great puzzle. My 16 month old got it for her 1st birthday, and she has always loved hauling it out of the box and playing with the sturdy pieces, but now it is making more sense to her. The only problem is that the pieces do not stay together well on carpet, but she just hands them to me to put together anyway. Probably will get more fun after 18 months or so.
 Good educational product November 19, 2007
I like the concept of this product, how you can match the color or the texture of the object. My 16-month-old son doesn't quite get the matching part yet. But I'm teaching him the names of the colors and the animal. One suggestion for product improvement - make them out of plastic or other more dueable material. My sons likes to chew on the puzzle pieces...
Fun,educational and quiet! October 30, 2007

My daughter has plenty of toys with fancy lights and sounds that consume tons of batteries so I wanted something quiet. This toy was a good choice. I bought this puzzle when my daughter was 12 months old. She didn't start playing with it until 20 months. She now plays with it almost every day. Sometimes 2-3 times a day.
While she can match more than half of the puzzles at 21 months, she still cannot put the two matched pieces together. When she finds a match, she hands the two pieces to me and I put them together. I reinforce the educational aspect of toy by playing with her. I lay out all of the pieces on the floor and ask her to look for the black cat, yellow banana, beautiful butterfly, etc. When she finds a match, I praise her by clapping my hands. This encourages her to continue to play.
The box itself is also a fun game for my daughter. She's constantly trying to close the flaps and stick that one fish puzzle through the open slit. The box is also well made and has endured lots of pulling and tugging from the toy bin.
I only gave it four stars because this is a "two player" game. My daughter rarely plays with this puzzle by herself.
Great educational toy September 11, 2007

These puzzles are very educational, I only wish they had more pictures that interested my kids. They're 16 months old and although they don't understand the one color piece matches the picture, they love looking at the picture and seeing the word that corresponds. Some of the pictures are of odd things like for example a scarf. What baby even knows what a scarf is or uses one for that matter, so they can't relate to it and just ignore it. They could have at least done shoes or pants or clothing a little more familiar. But for the most part it is a great educational, fun toy and different from the same peg board puzzles that my kids have. Plus it will grow with them through the next couple of years until they could even play memory with the pieces upside down when they're much older.
One of the best puzzles for young kids! September 3, 2007

Get this for your child or as a gift. It is highly educational. It introduces different colors (the basics), as well as patterns (such as striped, swirly, spotted, etc.). And then, there're the different textures (furry, fluffy, rough, bumpy, etc.) which can actually be felt and touched by the child. These descriptive words and pictures are then matched to its corresponding partner (ex: swirly=lollipop, furry=rabbit, pink=pig) by means of locking in two puzzle pieces. The groove-and-tongue pattern is simple and big enough for young ones and every pair of puzzle is different. Great for teaching adjectives, pairs, vocabulary, textures, spatial skills, colors, etc.
