User Submitted Melissa and Doug First Shapes Jumbo Reviews (cont...)Date: 2007-04-04 Great for Toddlers! I bought this for my daughter for Christmas, three days before her first birthday. She loves taking the pieces out, banging them together and recently, putting them in the correct spaces! The size of the pieces is perfect for a young toddler and the knobs are the right size for her hands. Will definately look at Melissa and Doug puzzles for her again! Date: 2007-01-31 Great little first puzzle for toddlers We bought this puzzle for our daughter's first birthday - hoping to counter some of the noisier toys we suspected she would recieve (and she did). To our great pleasure it was well-recieved, and is something she enjoys tinkering with whilst making her rounds of the toys. The pieces are large and - unlike so many first puzzles - are made out of thick, sturdy plywood. They are painted with non-toxic paints, rather than having a layer of paper like many other puzzles which so quickly become soggy and unusable the first time they find their way into the mouth. The only downside is that the pieces do have slightly rough edges - I think I may end up taking a piece of sandpaper to them at some point just to smooth them out a bit. And, as the other reviewer noted, this can cause difficulty in getting the pieces in. Despite this minor flaw this is an excellent learning tool for young toddlers, and I highly recommend it. Date: 2006-11-14 Fun, colorful and quality product We got this for our son's 1st birthday. He understands the concept of putting the pieces back in the puzzle but he usually thinks it's more fun to take one puzzle piece in each hand and bang them together like cymbals. The only negative thing I can really say about this is that for some reason the puzzle we got is really tight fitting, unlike the two other Melissa & Doug puzzles, one which was bought at the same time as this one. So that creates a little bit of frustration sometimes for my little toddler. But they're each cut by hand (with the proper equipment of course) so each puzzle will vary. -knobs are perfect size for little hands -colorful and attractive -sturdy, well-made -large pieces (easy to find when your toddler takes them to other parts of the house)
