Costumer Reviews

My 2 1/2 year old can't get enough of puzzles! This, the 'Melissa ; Doug Vehicle Puzzles in a box' is the most recent addition to our collection. There are other boxes in the range including pets, dinosaurs ; farm animals, but my daughter loves wheels so chose this one! Each box includes 4 x 12 piece wooden jigsaw puzzles. This set has a fire engine, a train, a school bus ; a racing car. Each vehicle has a different shape on the back (diamond, square, circle, triangle) and the box has 4 compartments 1 for each puzzle. My daughter is able to complete each puzzle on her own ; sort them according to their shape she just needs a little help putting the pieces in the compartment so that the lid can slide on, did I say lid? Finally a Melissa ; Doug toy with a LID! Great for storage ; taking on days out, this comes everywhere with us, to restaurants, friends houses ; on holiday.

There are also some ideas on the bottom of the box for 'extension activities' that you can do e.g "Ask the child to tell a story based on the picture". Can't recommend more highly enough.

My 3 year old loves this and the other M;D puzzles we got him. The pictures are bright and cheerful, and the pieces feel pretty durable. They're printed with a symbol on the back of each one so you can easily sort the pieces according to which puzzle they're for.

However, the pieces and box could use a little bit more finish - the wood has some quite sharp splinters in places, and there's enough of a gap between the top of the compartment dividers and the lid of the box that if the box is shaken or turned over, the pieces get all mixed up. There's also quite a strong smell - not sure if it's the wood or paint or a sealant or what. It's not unpleasant, but it is a little odd.

Still, it was inexpensive and my son has a blast putting the puzzles together, so I'd still recommend it.
