User Submitted Melissa & Doug Construction Wooden Chunky Puzzle ReviewsDate: 2008-11-23 Great learning toy and they are one of the few toys that last through various ages and stages of development! My daughter LOVES this puzzle. She began playing with it and an animal Melissa & Doug puzzle when she was 6 months old. She still loves playing with them now that she is 13 months old. I am a preschool and kindergarten teacher and know the importance of puzzles in a childs development. These puzzles are great learning "toys." They work not only on fine motor skills but hand eye coordination and verbal skills. My daughter is just now figuring out how the pieces go in. Also, she loves to say "CAR" or "Vroom" every time she picks up one of the trucks. With the animal puzzle she picks them up and says the names of the animals and the sounds. Definitely worth the $$! Date: 2008-07-03 Not Like The Old Melissa and Doug Chunky Puzzles We have several Melissa and Doug chunky puzzles that my son loves, so we ordered this one to add to the collection. Sadly, this particular puzzle (and the dinosaur one) are not the same quality as other puzzles in the series. The older chunky puzzles have an image painted on each piece. Even the back and sides of each piece are painted in primary colors. The newer chunky puzzles are pressed wood cut outs with raw (and somewhat rough) edges and backsides with decals stuck on the front. My son is still teething and sticks everything in his mouth. Within five minutes of opening this puzzle the decals are already coming off. For a product that is supposedly hand made, it is shoddy. Be warned, this is not like the older version of this puzzle! Date: 2008-01-25 My son loves this toy! For the little boys who love cars and trucks, this is a great toy. My son absolutely loves this puzzle. He plays with it every day. It still has not lost it's novelty even after a month. It is very durable and he likes the big pieces because they are easier to handle. Date: 2007-12-28 My son has loved this puzzle since 3 months We received this puzzle when my son was born, I noticed that it was for 3 years old and up but I looked it over and it seemed safe enough so I let my son use it and its been a big hit. He obviously hasn't figured out how a puzzle works yet, but he loves the large puzzle pieces. I would say we use it at least once a day most days since he was 3 months (he is 9 months now). My neighbor's son(same age) liked it so much she bought the Melissa & Doug Large Shapes Jumbo Puzzle but I have to say I prefer this puzzle. Note: I am not recommending all Melissa & Doug puzzles for younger children, since we did receive another puzzle and it does not seem as safe, so it is still not in use. Also my son doesn't throw any of his toys (at least not yet) so if you have a child like that I might reconsider since the pieces are large wooden pieces. Date: 2007-12-10 Great early puzzle I got this for my grandsons. The 2 yr. old loves it and he brings it to me and asks "where it goes", so I ask him then where each piece goes and he can match them up by sight. He is still working on placing them in by himself correctly. The 4 year old now finds it boring after the second time but still likes to learn the different names of the peices. Great learning peice for both ages.
