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

We bought this and the Jumbo Numbers Wooden Chunky Puzzle and they were a hit with my daughter. She is now 4 and doesnt play with it much but my friends younger children love coming over and playing with it. The letters are big and easy to grab. I liked to mix them up and ask her to name the letter and then find where it went in the puzzle. She loved naming the animal on the puzzle. It taught her animals and letters. She still mentiones the animals on this puzzle when she says a certain letter (A is for alligator, just like on my puzzle!). The colors and quality is great too.

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 son is only 2, so this puzzles use is a bit limited right now. But the quality and adorable factor are amazing- the colors and designs are vibrant and I know it will come to good use as my son grows. He likes playing with it and we have started working on his A,B,Cs, but I think it will only get better when he doesnt want to just throw the letters across the room. =)

Now that my 3yo is in school he loves sitting down at home to learn too.

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

Love it ! Must buy . You won’t be disappointed.

Love this puzzle! Great size and colors for my 2 year old. The colors are fantastic and the chunky puzzle are perfect

My child like it

Fun Learning with this puzzle. We bought it as a gift. Our granddaughter has one too. Weve played a game of find the letter, a relay race to find a letter and put it in place, scavenger hunt for the letters. Guiding their activity makes it a fun time while they are learning the alphabet.

Woweee!!! I read all the reviews on all the other puzzles including this one on how they are not hand painted and wood quality cheap and so on but none of my Melissa & Doug (M & D )Products so far were like that UNTIL I got this puzzle!!!! IT REALLY SUCKS from the usual/other puzzles I have from Melissa & Doug! I did read in another review that they sold the company to an overseas joint and that is propably why the quality is poor:-( PROS: A. It is the alphabet and at some point in life we have to learn it. B. The colors are vibrant and eye-catching. C. There are animals behind all the letters that start with the corresponding letter. D. The space underneath the letter corresponds/appears in the puzzle base with matching color/shape (except for letter T...color is different...oopsy on their part! E. The letters are large and chunky for easy handling. CONS: A. The puzzle base is very large (as the pieces are large). It is hard for my 19month old to reach up to the top whether she is sitting at the table or on the floor or standing. She cant really reach the top of the puzzle without help and she is off the chart for percentile in height for her age. B. The whole thing is made cheaply. The wood is some cheap pressed wood crap and it has an awful odor when you first open. We took the puzzle to the outdoors on patio initially to help it air out. THEY ARE NOT HAND-PAINTED!!! There is some sort of sticker??? as the letter pressed or glued on the top (it does stay on well...I tried to peel it. C. The letters are crooked! Not all of them are straight in the base and some are too big which allows for diffent letters to fit in the wrong spot (example: The letter H can fit in the letter N or U spot. Your child will have to be savy to learn where each letter goes! Previous M & D puzzles we own dont allow error like this. D. The cut-outs on the base of the puzzle (where the letters go) are not as deep as other puzzles so when my daughter is reaching up to place another letter and accidently bumps one already in place - it comes out!ERRRRRRR! Anyhoo..I am now a skeptic when ordering M & D products. I will now only buy them when I find them at Kohls or TJ Max. I want to be able to see the product. I also purchased the numbers puzzle like this one and my review is the same as this one...poor quality! I am keeping both puzzles because as soon as my daughter saw it come out of the box she wanted to get at it. She loves puzzles. It will do the job but I will not be able to keep this or want to for years later. I am a fan of the Leapfrog frige letters and she loves those. We also do the letters/numbers that stick to bathtub walls. If you dont care about the cons, i would say order them (although costly for the poor quality). Good luck & hope this helps!
