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.

Ravensburger Glow in the Dar 1000 Piece Puzzle Times Square

Ravensburger Glow in the Dar 1000 Piece Puzzle Times Square




Times Square Glow in Dark 1000 Piece

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Magnificent Puzzle
This is a beautiful puzzle. Not too easy and not terribly difficult. The pieces are brightly colored and the glow in the dark is just added fun. I gave it to a couple in Britain as a gift and they enjoyed it immensely. I was going to buy them a picture of New York but this was easier to fit in a suitcase, non-breakable and fun to do.

5 Stars Amazing
This puzzle when complete, is absolutely beautiful. I enjoy putting puzzles together, but this particular one is my favorite thus far. I glued it, framed it and surprised my son with it because he loves going to the City, especially Times Square. It actually does glow in the dark and it’s absolutely amazing. Love it. I purchased a second one for myself.

5 Stars So much fun!
My 3 1/2 yr old LOVES this puzzle. He even stays in his room after “quiet time” is over to complete the puzzle! Quite durable, just hard enough to be challenging. Great price. I’m going back to buy the Dinosaur Puzzle!

4 Stars Right difficult level for my 3 year and 6 month old son
My son has always liked sharks. That’s why I got this puzzle for him. He’s already 3 and a half. So I was a bit concerned this 3+ puzzle might be a bit too easy for him. But it turned out not.

5 Stars Great puzzle for my 3 year old!
The pieces are thick so they don’t bend and break like most other puzzles. My only complaint is some of the pieces already had some paint wearing off upon opening the package. Overall, I’m happy with the purchase.

3 Stars Not what I expected
I was given this as a gift for my son and I was excited when I found out it was a Melissa & Doug product but unfortunately, it was NOT a wood puzzle, unless you count cardboard as wood.

The image is gorgeous and the pieces are huge and easy for kids to handle and hard for them to lose but unfortunately, my two year old figured out how to peel them apart in less than a week. The edges also bend easily making it hard for a young child to put the pieces in place properly.

This is a beautiful puzzle but not a durable one.

5 Stars Melissa & Doug
3rd Melissa & Doug puzzle purchased! Nephew loves the puzzle and uncle loves Amazons price and shipping. Very satisfied.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Great Choice
My 3 year old daughter loved this puzzle and continues to play with it. It is nice because it fits together easily (no funny shapes) and she likes the pictures.

5 Stars Challenging
This is a challenging puzzle meant for older pre-schoolers or early elementary age. The pictures are interesting and appealing and fairly simple with sharp colors and durable blocks. This puzzle is difficult because children must select the appropriate side of each cube in order to complete the puzzle picture. The task is made simpler by the unique border color around each picture. This puzzle is made to last and will be enjoyed for years. Just don’t expect a very young child to master it.

1 Star Not what I expect from Melissa and Doug
Most Melissa and Doug products are great. Painted surfaces and durable. I bought this one expecting the same, but was very disappointed. The blocks have pictures on paper poorly glued on. I have had to cover every block in book tape to keep it from peeling.

5 Stars Pets Cube Puzzle
We gave this puzzle as a gift and we have heard that it is a big hit!

5 Stars This was such fun! I’d recommend for over 4 year olds and up, since it’s a little advanced for under that age.
Great toy. It’s like having several puzzles in one. Best for over 4 yrs old and up since it’s tough to remember earlier than that. A+

5 Stars Thomas the Train Puzzle Review
This puzzle is so neat. My 4 year old can put it together with a little help. He loves the fact that it glows in the dark! Great quality!!!

5 Stars A Puzzling Delight
This puzzle was an absolute delight for the little seven year old tyke who put it together. Each piece was of interest whether flowers, faces, or trains. She was most excited to see it glow, and waited all day for night to come and for the puzzle to reveal itself in the dark. A truly fun experience in every way.

4 Stars very cute puzzle
This is a very cute puzzle and my 4 year old LOVED the glow in the dark aspect. My only complaint was that some of our pieces wouldn’t lay very flat and the paper on the edges of some of the pieces seems a bit flimsy like it might peel easily. Overall, though I think the puzzle will hold up fairly well and hopefully flatten out over time.

5 Stars Enjoyed by my Thomas fans/puzzlers
Both of my kids (2 & 5) love this puzzle. The 2-year-old (nearly 3) needs help finding pieces, but if I find her all of the pieces for a given engine she’ll put them together. There is enough going on in it of different colors that it’s an easy puzzle to put together in parts. It’s a great toy to bring out when we need the energy level to go down for a little bit.

4 Stars Great Puzzle
I bought this for my 4 year old, after realizing the 35 pc Thomas the Engine puzzle I bought him was too easy. You won’t be disappointed by the quality of the puzzle, it is pretty sturdy compared to the cheaper puzzles out there. The picture is coordinated such that my son works on different parts and can later put the whole puzzle together by himself. In fact, the picture is so well put together, that he can put the puzzle together in less than 30 minutes. I am afraid he will outgrow this puzzle soon, however, I think I will have it framed and hang it on his bedroom wall so he can enjoy at bedtime. He loves the glow in the dark feature. Puzzles are a great head-fake, he’s “playing” but learning great logic and analytical skills at the same time. I am overall satisfied with the product.
