Melissa & Doug Vehicles Jumbo Knob Wooden Puzzle (8 pcs)

I work in a childcare center and I bought this puzzle for my class for Christmas. I read through all the reviews and I saw that there seemed to be different opinions and reviews on whether the puzzle pieces were painted on wood or stickers/decals. I was pleased with the puzzle when I received it. It seemed to be very well constructed and the pieces were very bright and perfect for grasping. I took the puzzle and gave it to them at 7 am on a Monday morning. By 10:30 that same morning one of the puzzle pieces was ruined. It is stickers/decals on the puzzle pieces and part of the decal had already been scraped off revealing grey cardboard underneath. I still think Melissa & Doug puzzles are very appealing to children and Im not saying that I wont buy them in the future, however I did want to let people know that they are stickers/decals on the puzzle pieces, not hand painted wood like I think they were in the past. I did read the age suggestion before I bought it and it was in the appropriate age range for my class. Infants and young toddlers chew on everything...especially when they are teething. The decals/stickers on this puzzle are on the piece very well, but little teeth can scrape the sticker/decal off so just be aware before you buy. My actual star review would be 3.5 if I could actually rate it that way.

My daughter has only used this puzzle a handful of times and the knobs are already loose and coming off the pieces. It also leaves wood dust behind all the time, which tells me the quality is so-so. I noticed its made in china after the fact.

Love their products, this one was very consistent and had nice large knobss for my grandsons chubby little hands to grab.

My 18 month old Grandson loves this puzzle. He started playing with it immediately and knew exactly what to do.

20 month old grandson absolutely loves these large knob, wooden puzzles. Loves them.

Adorable

LOOKS GREAT AND WORKS EVEN BETTER I WOULD BUY AGAIN

Great

Very nice large chunky puzzle for a 1 year old

I bought several of these type of puzzle (same brand) and I cant tell if theyre damaged, defective, or different version made this way. The listing and image on the back shows no seams/cracks between puzzle pieces. The reviewed images shows a mix of one with and without seams/cracks
