My boy's favorite toy!
My son received this Knob Puzzle as a gift for his first birthday, and he loves it! The pieces are very easy for him to manage, and despite the toy's simplicity, he can't get enough of it. He's partial to the horse, and insists on taking it to his crib each night (it's removed promptly when he fades out!). The puzzle provides more entertainment than I expected, and the excellent quality is consistent with the rest of the Melissa & Doug toys in our household. Overall, a great gift for small toddlers!

Dangerous toy for children
I was excited to buy this puzzle for my young son and he enjoyed playing with it for the short time we had it. However, since the puzzle is made from cheap laminated/layered wood, the puzzle piece backings began to splinter and rip almost immediately. As such, this toy represents a pretty serious hazard to young children. It's not even well-designed: the pieces are very thick and tightly fitted into their slots, making it difficult to pull them out in any direction except directly upwards. Very disappointing overall.

Great First Puzzle
This was the best first introduction to puzzles for my daughter. She got this puzzle for her first birthday. With her love of animals, it was an immediate hit! The pieces were large and the large chunky knobs made them easy for her to hold. The painted picture underneath that correlates with the puzzle piece is fabulous! Although my daughter can't always get the pieces back, she is learning the dexterity skills she needs! It holds up well to teething, although the wood is soft enough to show indentations over time. My daughter's favorite hobby so far is banging the pieces together!
