Melissa & Doug Jumbo Numbers Wooden Chunky Puzzle (20 pcs)

This is the perfect way to show your little one the alphabet. My sons only 2 and he has known his alphabet since he was 1 so the next best step is to teach him how to recognize the letters and this puzzle is perfect! What I do is lay all the puzzle pieces out and ask him for a letter if he gets confused and cant find it I can tell him for example give me the letter A for apple or alligator and hell know right away because each letter has a picture on it. I feel it helps toddlers remember things more effectively. Over all I am ver pleased with the puzzle good quality very smooth on the edges and the pieces are perfect for toddlers and little hands because they are chunky and very easy to put in their spots.

I bought this for my grandson for Christmas he has played with it for hours it is so adorable and well-made. Very pleased with the purchase

I absolutely love this puzzle. My grandson, who is only 19 months old, knows 15 letters already. This puzzle is a great reinforcement to what he learns at day care and on utube. It is good quality, as all Melissa and Doug puzzles are... and, it is a nice size, which is why I chose this puzzle over others

My daughter was 20 months when she got this. She has really advanced the last 2 months in being able to identify and place the letters where they need to go. Seems like a good educational toy. Only reason why I didnt rate it 5 stars is because all the colors just seem like too much for me. Each letter has a corresponding animal or object or something, but we still havent worked on identifying that because its just a little much. I dont even see them when I look at the puzzle...

Nice puzzle but the paint and wood chips easily. Not the old Melissa and Doug quality.

Im a professional nanny specializing in toddler care. I always request that my parents purchase this puzzle for me to use as a teaching tool. Its amazing how quickly a two year old can learn the ABCs!

Excellent service. Great item, for my grandson. Thank you !

We love Melissa and Doug puzzles. The colors are very bright.

Easy to grab numbers are perfect for little ones. My 2- and 4-year olds love to race to put the numbers back in their places. Some paint has chipped, but only because the pieces have been thrown onto the tile and hard wood floors repeatedly. Fun design for them to look at, too. The patterns make it easy for young children to recognize where the numbers should go before they start to learn how to count. Update: I have had this for about 3 years now and the pieces and board are still in good condition. A little more chipped than before just due to regular wear and tear by crazy boys. They also love to make piles of numbers, stacking them one on top of another. I think they learn to have more imaginative play with things as they get older, and something as simple as a number board can used for more things than just counting. I would definitely recommend this product. Get it early so it can grow with your child.

Very durable and great for all ages.
