 Another great Melissa & Doug toy July 19, 2008
Our 3 1/2 year old daughter loves this puzzle. It's a nice large size with large pieces that fit together easily. This adds to our daughter's sense of accomplishment, and she enjoys the new challenge of a large round puzzle. Now she puts it together by herself and when she's done, we then discuss the different cultures of the children holding hands. This really adds more value and more time spent using this verses other puzzles.
Very Winning Puzzle May 27, 2008
All Melissa & Doug puzzles are wonderful and fun for children (and adults) to do, but this puzzle is extra special. For starters it is a giant circle-shape. Also, the theme of Children Around the World is very appealing, especially to my 6 1/2 yr old grandson who has been learning about this topic in school. After we have finished the puzzle each time, we talk about the "kids from other countries" and we pick our favorite ones. Each time we have done the puzzle we have discussed the children and to me this is an extra fun thing. Even my 4 yr old grandson likes it, but his interest in discussing the children depicted is more limited. This puzzle is a must for puzzle-doing families!
 Toddler Teacher Terrific! April 13, 2008
It's always a challenge to open the minds of young children to the world outside. This puzzle has openned some great conversation already. It is a wonderful visual for kids of all ages!
Great puzzle for preschoolers needing a bigger challenge March 4, 2008
My three year old quickly grew tired of his basic puzzles, so it was time to upgrade. He's four now and does this puzzle with ease (although not at first). He used to ask for help with it, but now he's so proud to finish it completely on his own. The colors are great, and I love how it teaches about different cultures.

It is a pleasure to divert my granddaughter's attention from yellow, orange and red plastic objects to this calming and educational-as-an-adult-makes it puzzle! I liked it enough to buy the fire engine puzzle twice; once for each of my grandsons! When they are completed, have an older child sketch what he or she sees for extended interest.
