Melissa & Doug Underwater Ocean Floor Puzzle (48 pcs, 2 x 3 feet) - FSC Certified

I have always valued the quality of Melissa & Doug products. I have bought several learning toys for the kids, but this is the first time of purchasing one of their puzzles. It is a great puzzle! The pieces are thick and uniform and are a very nice weight and easily connect. The graphics/picture on this puzzle are very clear and consistent. The coloring is correct. The edges of the puzzle pieces are all neat and finished and we have enjoyed playing with this. My grandson is obsessed with tractors, earth movers, and any type of heavy equipment so this puzzle was perfect for him. This is just the right size for younger kids and once completed the puzzle was quite large 2' x 3'. There are 48 pieces to this puzzle, which is just right for kids. Even the box of this puzzle is quality and heavy duty. A lot of puzzle boxes are very flimsy cardboard and break or split at the corners, spilling the pieces all over. Not this one. Very pleased with the quality and the price of this and will continue to recommend Melissa & Doug toys to others. Always a quality product!

Got this puzzle because my 3 year old son was really getting into the wooden Melissa and Doug puzzles that have the wooden tray they sit in (not the ones where the animals are their own shapes and sit in a place only they fit in, but the ones more like actual puzzles) and he was putting it together in no time, so we decided to try this. This one is a great next step up from those and for a pretty good price for under $10. The pieces are definitely larger, but they include a good amount of detail in each one that my kid can figure out where they go pretty much by himself with minimal help the first time, and despite receiving the puzzle last night, he's already done it twice and the second time nearly all by himself. It hits that sweet spot of not too challenging as to be a turn off, but challenging and easy enough with an interesting enough picture that he'll continue to be engaged doing this one.The quality is good - a thick heavy glossy cardboard and the pieces easily fit together if they're supposed to go together, but when they aren't supposed to go together you can't force them easily like a smaller puzzle, bringing the confusion to a minimum for the young puzzler. We went with the dino one, and I chose it because dinos, but also the color scheme was differentiated enough that it is mostly obvious which pieces go to which dinos, although it's still a little challenging as there are a variety of dinos and colors. I actually looked through a lot of dino puzzles and found this to be one of the better ones out there concerning picture and price.

A good, sturdy fun product. Even a three- year-old couldn't break it!

Nice graphicsLarge final footprintGreat for grandchildren

This puzzle is amazing. Fun & challenging for my 3 yr old. Definitely getting more. Well packaged & recieved on time.

I personally love Melissa and Doug brand for their quality. I recently purchased Melissa and Doug's Solar System floor puzzle, and it's truly a fun and educational experience! The puzzle features vibrant illustrations and engaging designs that captivate my child's attention, making learning about the solar system exciting. The large pieces are perfect for little hands, and they fit together nicely.However, I did notice that the price is a bit higher compared to other brands offering similar puzzles. While the quality is excellent and the educational value is undeniable, budget-conscious buyers might want to consider this difference before making a decision.Overall, if you're looking for a durable and visually stunning puzzle that will spark interest in space for kids, Melissa and Doug's Solar System puzzle is a great choice—just be prepared for a slightly higher price point!

Got this for my nephew as a Christmas gift. The pieces seemed well made and sturdy! He's four and was able to put it together easily.

Great little puzzle, kids love it.
