User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great
We bought this puzzle for our 6 year old son thinking he would need some assistance putting together such a big puzzle but it is designed in a way he can do it by himself. It gives him a good sense of accomplishment since it is such a large puzzle. The peices are very durable and he’s put it together many times. I highly recommend.

5 Stars Love this puzzle
My 3 year old daughter loves the Melissa and Doug floor puzzles and this one is no exception. She loves all the animals in this safari puzzle. We also have “farm friends”, “Dinosaurs” and “Under the Sea”. I would recommend them all. She can do “farm friends” and “dinosaurs” completely by herself, and can almost do “Under the sea”.

I think the puzzles have many lessons to teach them. I like that she has to learn patience and to work through a task to achieve her goal…it’s not instant gratification. Having said that she feels a great sense of accomplishment once it is completed.

I also feel these puzzles are very durable as we set them up on the floor and they get walked on all the time.

5 Stars not an M&D puzzle we have not liked yet
My 3 year old likes working on this puzzle with me. Sometimes his attention span is not quite long enough to finish it before he becomes distracted. The 48 pieces are well within his span of time, but the 100 is usually just outside of it. I recommend having both sizes on hand as the 48 pieces go too fast when he wants me to work them with him. The pieces easily resist both my 3 year old and my 1 year old crawling on them and chewing on them before I get them away from her.

5 Stars Lots of Fun!
I bought three of these puzzles for my three year old son. He absolutely loves them. The pieces are a great size and the picture has a lot going on. This was a great purchase.

5 Stars Great habitat puzzle!
I recieved this puzzle really fast. I have used this puzzle to help teach my students at school habitats because it is a perfect picture of a safari habitat. I even loaned it to another teacher in my school for a project they were doing and they loved it.

3 Stars wood piece brake easy
the wood has broken around the puzzle and some of the puzzle have brooken and the picture is coming off them as well

3 Stars Pricey & Flimsy Puzzle
I was disappointed in this puzzle. It didn’t seem to be up to Melissa & Doug’s usual high standards. The puzzle pieces were flimsier than I thought they would be, hard to separate and hard to push down into place. However, the artwork is beautiful and I think my 3 yr old will enjoy it in the near future.

4 Stars Great puzzle with minor quality flaws
I really think that M&D do a great job with puzzles for kids. The colors and graphics are pretty and my 2 1/2 year old son loves it. He opened yesterday and spent at least 2 hours playing with it. He even took it to his room because he didn’t want to stop playing and this morning he was ready to take it to school. I just have a minor observation about the low quality of the laminate in some of the pieces. When he tries to pull some of pieces, the laminate starts peeling. I just hope the they don’t come fully apart. He seems to have a blast so I want to order a second one….

3 Stars Beautiful but not durable
We bought this puzzle as a Christmas present for our two year old. The problem with this puzzle was evident as soon as we got it out of the package. While the back of the puzzle is wooden (like other M&D puzzles), the picture was printed on paper and adhered to the wood before the pieces were cut. When we disassembled the puzzle for the first time, we didn’t notice that the puzzle pieces didn’t get gut all the way through the paper, so when we separated the pieces the paper got torn, taking some of the design with it. We were very disappointed, especially considering the quality of product we’ve grown accustomed to receiving when purchasing M&D products. Our son still likes it and plays with it fairly often.

5 Stars Solid, Pretty, Educational puzzle
I got this puzzle for my 3 yr old last week after getting frustrated with a different puzzle from a different brand that was flimsy. This puzzle is nicely made from thick wood. The pieces still stay together unlike the cheaper brands with which we have played. The colors are attractive for a toddler, pretty for an adult, and the puzzle is great for reviewing the names of animals with a toddler.

I plan on ordering similar puzzles from Melissa and Doug in the future.

1 Star item sucks
bought the item and didnt work well from the first day and now after one month it is not making any music and sound ..

5 Stars A bit expensive, but completely worth it
I debated a long time before I finally decided to break down and buy this item. First off I was a bit surprised at the price- when all it does is play music, light up and move a bit. We did the family thing until my son was 7mo. and this was essential is making that trasition easier. The music is very soothing, there are a ton of option of music, nature sounds, music and lights, music lights movement, etc. Now, any time we're out of the house and his normal crib setting, we just take this thing with us and it creates enough normalsy that he's able to fall asleep with little fuss. I love it and ended up getting 2- one to have at the inlaws

5 Stars Love It!!
I received an Amazon gift card as a shower gift. Never used Amazon before, it was a great experience! This is one of the items I bought for my brand new baby. From the beginning she has loved it. The music, lights and motion keep her watching. Now that she sits it keeps her entertained while I'm putting away clothes. She can usually push the button by herself to get it going again. I think this is a great toy. It plays longer and is easier to restart than any others I've seen. At night we use the low volume, daytime it's on high. There is also a choice of which effects you would like to use. One comment mentioned lights too bright, just make it motion and music they can watch by nightlight. We love it!!

5 Stars So good we bought two
We first purchased this when our daughter was about four months old. It did a fantastic job of soothing her to sleep, and it continues to soothe her today (at 15 months old). We found it so helpful that we bought a second one to keep in her crib at the day care center.

We've traveled everywhere with this, and in spite of being dropped numerous times it keeps working like a charm. The battery life seems pretty good, and it has a nice set of options for sound, music, lights, action, or everything.

Definitely one of our best purchases.

5 Stars We have two!!!
My daughter loves this! We have one for day care and one for home. She loved it from the minute we put it in the crib. I dare say it is her favorite!

3 Stars $189?!?!?! That's not what I paid for it somewhere else!
This is a fantastic little playmat, my son loves it. But holy cow, as of the date of this review Amazon is showing it for [...] that's insane! I paid [...]for it at the big T, and that was expensive compared to other play mats.

Update: Interesting Amazon edited the prices out of my review. At least they dropped the price the next day.

5 Stars Fantastic!
Our daughter loves this play gym. Her favorite toy is the little monkey. She loves to grab him and pull him down toward her. The music is upbeat and she dances her legs constantly whenever we turn it on. So glad we went with this gym!

4 Stars Great Gym- VERY overpriced from seller
[...] The only thing I wish this gym had was a tummy support pillow like most of the bobby gyms have. [...]

5 Stars love it
my baby absolutely loves this play mat and all of it's features esp. the lights. it is a little costly, but money well spent! i am buying a second one for grandma's house!

5 Stars Great play mat that has entertained my baby
This is a great play mat. We received it as a gift. Our 12 week old has used it since she was a month old. She loves the lights and the music. She has noticed and reached for the toys that come with the mat for the past four weeks. It is a pricey mat, but the fact that the lights and music come from the top of the mat where she can look at them (as opposed to under her back) make it worth it. And yes, as one commenter noted, it is hard to store, but it is due to the lights and music being at the top, which in my mind is worth it.

5 Stars Two boys’ review: Animaltastic floor puzzle for the whole family
We have a 5-year old and a 4-year old, so finding games, puzzles and activities that the whole family can enjoy together is very important to us. This floor puzzle is large enough we can all enjoy it together.

We own more than 25 jigsaw puzzles, including 4 floor puzzles from Melissa and Doug. This 100-piece puzzle is large, so it is easy for both of our children to handle the pieces.

Of all the jigsaw puzzles we own, Melissa and Doug puzzles are the most durable.

5 Stars Lots of Fun!
