USA Map
I have an older version of this. It is a great puzzle and learning tool. My 5 year old loves it, but the smaller states don't have names on the pieces because the pieces are so small the names won't fit. They should fit on the board itself.

USA Puzzle
The girl I gave this to loves this gift. Not only does she know the name of the states and their capitals....she is also learning where each state is located. When she hears the news she knows where it is.

50 pieces for 50 states
When we ordered this puzzle map of the USA we had hoped that there would be a piece for each state. Alas, that is not the case as the New England states are clumped together, as are a couple of other regions. We will keep on looking for the perfect puzzle of the USA for our grandchildren. This is good but it just isn't complete. Children are going to think of New England as one clump. They won't know the difference between Conn. and Ver.

More fun than you might expect
I bought this puzzle a little over a year ago for my then 7 year old. What I did not expect was for my 2 year old to fall in love with it! He will sit and play with it by himself for a full 30 minutes, but he really loves it when mom or big brother 'help out' (he hands us pieces and then tells us where to put them). I always say the name of the state when I play with him and he can now identify several states by their shape. Great for tactile learners, highly educational, and fun to boot!

Great product

My three year old has quickly picked up a lot of U.S. Geography from this puzzle (can map most state names to their locations quickly) and enjoys putting it together on her own.
