Great size for little hands

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2020

Verified Purchase

The fish are a good size and weight for little hands to manipulate, and the depth of the board spaces is perfect for sliding them in without overcorrecting. A lot of others puzzles are more shallow so the pieces don’t thunk into place very satisfyingly and my toddler will keep wiggling the pieces around. The fish are also good for stacking, and are thick enough to balance on their edges. The only problem is the paint will rub away when being cleaned, and the corners are starting to show wear after a few months of heavy toddler use, but they are one of the favorite toys. Colors remain bright, and I’m going to try using beeswax to seal them between cleanings.

My two little toddler twins can play together. Is big enough and sturdy for them to play. The fishes are really chunky that is perfect for them to grab. They were entertaining for a couple hours! Recommended!

The only thing I didn’t like about it. The red and orange fishes are close together. As you can see in the video the orange fish is darker than the photo . It might confuse a toddler.

Perfect and safe for kids below 24 months

Perfect for kids less than 3 . Chewable and very sturdy. The colors are vibrant and perfect for little hands . Very sturdy wood piece . Highly safe for kids who likes to chew everything. It is not like the other melisa and dough peg puzzle in which the stickers peals off in one day. A little costly for me but it is really worth it.

My 18month old loves this puzzle! She is learning colors and this is perfect for her to match everything up. The fish are a thick, sturdy wood. The board is a think particle board/cardboard and i don't think it will last long. But I love the fish and that she gets so much joy out of matching and trying to decide what colors I am looking for. This would be a perfect gift if someone needs a great idea for a young family/friend gift!

Perfect gift. I purchased this for my 2 year old niece. She knows her Colors so good now! Love the chunky pieces so they’re easy for her to use and find when they get mixed up with the rest of her toys.
