Melissa and Doug Vehicles Chunky Wooden Puzzle




This hand-painted, playfully styled puzzle is sure to catch and keep the attention of curious tots. The thick, chunky wooden puzzle pieces fit neatly into their spots on the colorful board and also stand up for additional pretend play. Full-color pictures are hiding beneath each piece. Measures 12″H x 11″W x 1″D.

User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Poor quality
I just received this puzzle as a gift. Having another older-style Chunky puzzle, I am VERY disappointed in the quality. Instead of the designs being painted on, the front of the pieces are paper stickers and scratch off very easily. The old Chunky puzzles were much better quality and last longer. How disappointing that Melissa and Doug should make such poor quality puzzles!

5 Stars Preschooler & Toddler love this puzzle
Both of my boys (16 month old & 2 1/2 year old) enjoy this puzzle. Ours were painted all around though the back is a solid color paint. They enjoy playing with them as toys as well as a puzzle.

3 Stars Still good puzzle, but pieces only painted on the front
We have several of these chunky puzzles. This one came with only the front of the puzzle pieces painted. The older ones we have (insects, farm animals, sea creatures, pets) were all completely painted and are fun as free-standing figures,not just puzzle pieces. Otherwise, it’s a fun puzzle.

4 Stars Fun Toy for Toddlers Learning “Pretend”
I bought the Melissa & Doug Large Shapes Jumbo Puzzle as my kids first puzzle, and was pleased enough with Melissa & Doug to purchase this as a next step. My kids are 18-months-old, and they love to pretend with each little vehicle – waving the plane in the air, or making a “woo-woo!” sound for the fire engine. The “wells” that each piece fits into are fairly shallow, so my beginner puzzle-doers find it a little frustrating when the pieces slip out easily – but this is more a reflection of their puzzling skills than of the quality of the toy. I would definitely purchase more puzzles like this from Melissa and Doug.

5 Stars Very satisfied
Puzzle is well made & shouls stand up to a 2-3 yr olds abuse. Pictures are under pieces for greater matching and pieces are thick/easily handled.

5 Stars Great puzzles
My son is a young 3 and absolutely loves this boxed puzzle set. He had only played with different types of peg puzzles before receiving this set, so it has been quite exciting for him to learn how to put the 12 piece puzzles together. He feels so proud when he completes a puzzle all by himself and because he loves cars/trucks so much it is also very rewarding for him to see a cool fire truck, bus, train or race car in the finished product! This puzzle helps to build confidence, teaches strategic thinking and requires concentration from my little guy… great purchase!

5 Stars Puzzles
I purchased this set for my 2 year old grandson, he loves the fire engine. It is still a little difficult for him but he does make an attempt to put the pieces together. He doesnt get frustrated but does need help.

5 Stars Great!
My 2 yo loves this box-o-fun. He can clean up and organize the pieces all by himself because each different puzzles’ pieces have their own symbol on the back. Great for toddlers too old for chunky puzzles but intimidated by too many pieces.

5 Stars Fun puzzles
My 2.5 yr old son loves these puzzles. I showed him the ropes a few times and now he sits and does all 4 one after another by himself. They are wood so they are holding up pretty well despite rough treatment, though the images are wearing away around the edges a little. We’re going to get another set or two–it’s a nice obsession.

5 Stars 3 year old grandson loves it!!
I ordered this puzzle set for my 3 year old grandson, along with some other puzzles. This is the one that he goes for everytime he is at my house. He loves it!! The box that holds the puzzles is just so neat and the top is sort of inset, so that it makes a nice place to work one of the puzzles. Each puzzle has its own compartment in the box also, which makes it very organized. Great buy!!!

5 Stars My girls LOVE this!
I love Melissa and Doug. They have come up with some of the most creative toys around. My girls, age 3 and 2 both love this toy. The 2 year old is learning her colors and shapes, and the 3 year old likes to see how many she can do before she runs out of pieces. I would buy this again in a heart beat!

5 Stars fun and educational toy for 3-yr-old
My 3-yr-old nephew loved playing with this since he was 2. Learned shapes and colors, and his almost 2 yr old brother is learning fine motor skills with this toy as well.

5 Stars Great toy
I bought this for my son’s second birthday. He loved it and took to it right away. He spent over an hour on it the first time. He’s had it for a few weeks now and he sometimes pulls it out and asks to “make pictures”. He is so proud of himself when he fits the pieces in and when he completes a puzzle, he claps and cheers for himself. I had been wanting to get him a puzzle that is made up of basic shapes so this works well. I call out the names of the shapes as he puts them in and he repeats them. It’s also good for teaching colours. The only thing he sometimes has a problem with is the triangles, because they are not equilateral, so he has to turn them to fit them in. Sometimes he gets a little frustrated but I think it’s good he has a bit of a challenge – he’s learning to turn them so it’s an accomplishment when he fits them in. I love Melissa and Doug products. This as usual, is durable and attractive. There are more interesting puzzles in the box than what the picture shows – there is a train, fire truck, house, flowers, butterfly, dog, etc. I’m really glad I got this for him.

5 Stars A great puzzle for little ones
My 2 1/2 year plays with this alot. I love that it all stores nicely in the box it comes with. She knows all her shapes and I am sure this toy has helped.

5 Stars Great Educational Toy
I love this toy! We bought it for my oldest son for Christmas over 3 years ago, and now our youngest son loves it just as much. It is extremely durable~ well it has to be to survive 2 boys. A little paint has come off the edges of a few pieces, but that’s it. My oldest started learning shapes and colors while playing with this puzzle, and I am using it to reinforce what my other son has already learned. We have several peg/shaped puzzles, but this is the one that my youngest reaches for first.
