5 Stars A Must for 2-1/2 Year Old
Perfect for a 2-1/2 year old boy who likes challenges. Melissa and Doug puzzles are very durable and of good quality. He started with the 12-piece puzzles and has a 48-piece waiting for him. It won’t be long before he’ll be ready.

4 Stars Good for a child 3+
Fun, durable puzzle. The pieces are a little hard to fit together for a child under three.

4 Stars wood puzzle
Fast shipping and durable as described but this puzzle was a tad bit bowed. Still works and the kids enjoy it.

5 Stars My kid loves it
I bought this puzzle for Christmas for my toddler. He loves it and also his big brother that is 4 years old, although it is already easy for him.

The product is made of solid wood and hand crafted.

5 Stars Wonderful Puzzle
My son loved this and now my daughter does, too. Its neat how the pieces will stand up. Very durable. Great first puzzle.

5 Stars Delightful
This is a great puzzle, and it is very well made. My daughter started playing with it when she was about 18 months old. Even though she couldn’t always put the pieces in the correct spot, she still loved to play with them. Now that she is 2 yrs old, and able to complete the puzzle with ease, she likes it even more. I am trying to buy a puzzle rack to accommodate this and a few other Melissa and Doug chunky puzzles. I hope they will fit.

4 Stars Fun and Easy Toy for toddler
Like most Melissa and Doug products, this item is very quality and entertaining for young kids.

5 Stars First and Favorite
This was my daughter’s first Melissa and Doug chunky puzzle and still one of her favorites. It introduced her to these durable, colorful and easy to manipulate puzzles. She played with it before she was one-year-old and still plays with it as a two-year-old. I recommend all of these puzzles to everyone and frequently get them as gifts.

5 Stars Great Starter Puzzle
I really like this whole Chuncky line of Melissa & Doug puzzles. The age reccomendations says 2 years but I believe that is way too old. I got a few of them for my daughter for her fist birthday and she instantly loved them. The pieces have pictures underneath so that your baby can match the pictures. They are super durable and will stand up to years of play by multiple children. Only down side is that they won’t fit in any standard puzzle rack.

4 Stars Great puzzle!
This puzzle kept my 2 1/2 year old busy once I got him started on it. Some of the barn pieces were difficult to match but in all, he was able to do most of it on his own. He loves to do this puzzle 2 or 3 times a week and never gets tired of it! Great product.

5 Stars My 3 year old can do this
My 3 year old daughter LOVES this puzzle. She can put it together with minimal help. Totally durable, large pieces – easy to grip. With the Melissa & Doug brand — you can’t go wrong.

4 Stars Melissa & Doug Farm Friends Puzzle
This is a fun and high quality puzzle. The pieces are just the right size for a pre-schooler and are sturdy so they won’t bend or tear. My 3yr old grandson loved this puzzle. I will definitely purchase another Melissa & Doug product!

4 Stars Also nice for girls…
Most of the reviews talk about people buying for their sons or grandsons which surprised me. Its a good toy for any child. I bought this for my daughter when she was 2 years old. She was able to put together quite a lot of the puzzle by herself even then. Its huge and she loved lying on the puzzle once it was done. I should get it out again now that she’s over 3 and see how she likes it.

4 stars because there could have been more farm and less barn but that’s just my opinion. Definitely a worthwhile purchase.

5 Stars Fantastic puzzle!
My four year-old son loves this puzzle! The pieces are big and thick and the puzzle is the perfect size to fill our small table top. I helped my son put it together the first time and he can put it together himself easily now. This is our first big floor puzzle and now I want to buy a bunch more!

5 Stars educational
My girls were so excited to open this at Christmas time. They were excited to recognize earth. As they put the puzzle together they were kneeling on the pieces trying to get the pieces where they need to go. The puzzle seems to be very strong where kneeling on them won’t hurt them. The colors on the puzzle are sharp. I was very impressed. I think this puzzle is a good way to get your kids to know what planets there are and what they look like.

5 Stars Love the floor puzzles
I love the colorful melissa and doug floor puzzles! They are fun to put together and usually educational too.

5 Stars Durable, educational and fun
Melissa & Doug Solar System 48pc Floor

First I bought this product for my nephew who is 9 and has an interest in space. He loved it and kept taking it apart and putting it back together,

now he is going to glue and hang it on his bedroom wall. So I ordered two more for my grandson who is five and my sister’s grandson who is 4.

They both love them. The four year old had a great rainy day putting it together and since he’s wild about the planets lately he was really pleased. His parents recognized the Melissa and Doug product name and knew the quality of their puzzles. I wish they would come out with one that is large with the stars and the constellations, all three are beginning to have an interest in the night sky. Great durable pieces. Grandma M

5 Stars Very satisfied
This is the fourth M&D jigsaw puzzle we have purchased for my son (he just turned 3). They are a challenge, but a managable one. He gets a great sense of accomplishment when he finishes, and we get to identify the objects in the picture-another learning opportunity. The pieces are big enough for him to handle easily and they typically divide in such a way that it isn’t too hard for him to find a match. Great opportunity for semi-guided learning through play. Very satisfied with the construction and quality of the puzzles as well.

5 Stars Wonderful puzzle
Our 3-year old granson loves puzzles. As usual, this Melissa and Doug puzzle if durable and educational.

Excellent puzzle.

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.
