 "Good buy" 2009-05-20
By Judy T. Price
I bought this for my grandson who loves puzzles. It was a little hard only because the pieces slide around and frustrates him a bit, he's only 2. He likes finishing the puzzle and hearing the siren. The only problem was it kept going off one night even after I removed the pieces. I believe the darkness made it go off as when I put it in the lit closet it stopped.

 "Fantastic toy!" 2009-04-01
By M Riley (St. Charles, MO United States)
LOVE this toy!!! My son has played with it off and on for a whole year. Great durability, fun and a fantastic learning tool. My son has worked on it since he was about 1 year old. He is a puzzle loving guy.

The puzzle makes sound and it is a lot of fun for my grandson's that are 3 and 4.

 "Nice puzzle" 2009-03-08
By J. Passe (NC USA)
Our fire truck fan loves this puzzle. He just turned two and still can't put the pieces together by himself but does ok with a little help such as positioning the pieces in the right direction before handing them over. And the price at the end, fire truck sound, that is great. It does not come with batteries like most toys do which was a bit disappointing opening during Christmas and finding the toy wasn't working. Make sure you put batteries in it before you give it as a present to a child.

 "Great sounds but needs some tweaking" 2009-11-20
By I. Coco (Lakewood, WA)
The animals sounds are great but unfortunately you can use any piece (even the incorrect piece) to activate any of the sounds. This can be a bit confusing. There is no incentive to get the right piece in the right puzzle place.

 "M & D Zoo sounds" 2009-01-30
By Kalimermo (Rutland, MA, USA)
We love M & D products and this puzzle is another one we (and our child) love to play with. The sound is great and it doesn't randomly "sound off" like another sound puzzle we have does (farm animals). All of the sound puzzles we own have good sound, not at all like some of the poorer reviews have complained about.

 "Teacher finds fault" 2009-01-01
By g8rteacher
Awful Awful Awful! I am a teacher and was uphauled by the poor educational value this puzzle has. Let me go through the points:

1. the sound quality is terrible, and the sounds don't even sound like animals. We got the zoo animals, transportation and farm animals. When I wasn't looking I couldn't even match one of the animals sound to the animal name. I can't imagine that it would be that challenging to make a duck sound like a duck.

2. The sensors don't always work and when they do it's at an inapropriate time. I'll be in the other room making dinner and all of a sudden the pig (or was it a pig?) will begin squaking

3. The puzzle pieces don't quite fit correctly, so this can be frustrating for the child

So, overall I wouldn't waste your money. It's not your typical nice Melissa and Doug quality. Sad, very sad.

 "Nice puzzle..." 2008-12-29
By Shoofly (Oakland, CA United States)
Overall, nice puzzle. My 21 month-old is just learning, so it's challenging for her. Although it's light sensitive, ours makes noise randomly even with all the pieces in...kinda creepy sometimes!

 "Awesome!" 2008-11-26
By
My daughter had a hard time learning to do puzzles and this was perfect for her as a baby! Each animal makes a different noise when you put the piece in the correct spot, to motivate kids to keep trying. I LOVE this puzzle!

 "We take the batteries out and still have fun!" 2009-12-30
By Mommy K (Maryland)
I am not a fan to all the toys that make sounds, and through my daughter's therapy I have learned that it is best for us to take the batteries out. This has been a great toy for my daughter, she makes believe with the instruments before putting them into the correct place.

 "You can find something better!" 2009-11-21
By Jules (New York)
Do not buy this puzzle! There are so many better ones out there and this is just awful. First of all, as the other reviewers have stated, the instruments do not sound like actual instruments (i would be unable to identify them and I played in an orchestra for years). But the absolute worst thing about it is that it continually goes off at night(unless you keep the battery out) (there is no on-off switch)! I spent over a half an hour in the middle of the night once trying to get it stop going off (and you know, to take the battery out you need a tiny phillips head, which i did not want to get in the middle of the night!) so i stuffed it under the cushions of the sofa! Seriously, don't buy this puzzle!!! (i love wooden puzzles and would never knock one but this is just ridiculous!)

 "once it hits the mouth...it's ruined." 2009-04-22
By Sage B. (USA)
My daughter put the guitar in her mouth and the puzzle just fell apart. I had to put the toy away until later. I'm bummed because now it's ruined. We never put batteries in so I'm not sure about the sound.

 "My kid loves it" 2009-02-16
By Amy Fietkau
My kid loves this puzzle. I know the sounds arent very accurate and quite annoying if left out at night. But after every piece he dances or pretends to play whatever instrument it is! Its a lot of fun to do with him and he will often do the puzzle multiple times before moving on to another quieter puzzle.

 "Detrimental to a child's music education!" 2008-12-27
By Erik
First, the physical puzzle is fine. Just don't put the batteries in. Unless you want your child to learn to distinguish between bland, non-descript synth patches from a cheap Casio keyboard.



How hard could it have been to use an actual recording of the instrument for each piece? This company could easily use a public domain wave file, or better yet, ask some musicians or music educators to contribute a short melody. You wouldn't need access to an expensive recording studio, either. Today a cheap $300 handheld record would do the trick.

 "Great for children with Autism and speech delays." 2009-06-21
By J. Edmond
This product is very good for learning shapes. My daughter loves this product. I would highly recommend this product to a friend.

 "Puzzle Is Okay" 2009-02-20
By Denise (Germany)
I was so excited when I saw this puzzle online and didn't even realize it was a sound puzzle until I got it in the mail. Quick Shopping :) Anyway so I was very excited and put in a battery. The puzzle has sturdy pieces but the board is okay looks pretty cheap. The other thing I am not to crazy about is the puzzle will say incorrect shapes and will talk when no one is around which is pretty scarey if you are alone and you hear "square".

 "this is REALLY cool!" 2009-01-17
By Steven Krempel (OH USA)
the neatest puzzle EVER! as you set the shapes in their place, the voice tells you the word for that piece. Underneath are cool pictures related to each shape - under the oval is a auto racetrack! Grown ups love this thing as much as the child did. Get One!

 "Taught my daughter her shapes in a day" 2008-12-10
By Emily (Fishers, IN USA)
My daughter recieved this puzzle when she was about a year and a half old. We love it! She can hear the shape sounds as she places the pieces into the puzzle. I would hear "Ock-a-don" coming out of her mouth (octagon) on a daily basis.



The only downside to the puzzle is that every once in awhile the sensors stop working and the pieces don't make sound. OR the pieces will randomly go off while they are being stored. I have heard from many other friends who have this puzzle that even when the pieces aren't even near the puzzle, it will talk. The biggest trigger is turning the light on in a room where the puzzle has been sitting. Suddenly late at night you hear, "Square!" Nothing like freaking you out when no one else is around. ;)

 "Another great product" 2008-11-29
By S. Bynum (NC, USA)
My two year old was so excited about this puzzle when she first got it. After playing with it for two days she knew all of the shapes when they appeared in everyday encounters (like signs, tables, books, etc). However she did get bored with the puzzle after a week so I had to put it away. Instead of having it available for play every single day, I make it available once every two or three weeks to keep her excited about it. My 11 month old likes to chew on the pieces and it is still intact so once again M&D has created a wonderful/durable puzzle for little ones.

 "We love these puzzles!" 2009-09-22

Highly recommend them to all!

 "Too Much Confusion for a Toddler" 2009-08-26
By M. Janosi (New York)
Melissa and Doug have produced some wonderful, educational, age-appropriate developmental toys for toddlers and pre-schollers. This is NOT one of them. Older children will understand and coordintate the letters with the odd pictures inside, but will be bored within a few minutes of play. Younger children will not grasp the matching concepts used for letter/piece placement. Several of the letter pieces are interchangable, making mistakes very easy and not helping with the learning process. My overall impression of this educational product is that flashy colors and imaginative picture matches for the entire alphabet makes it pretty, but useless for anything other than a dust collector. I have taken it away from my toddler and do not plan on using it again.

 "Gets the Job Done" 2009-04-13
By JudiAU (Los Angeles)
I bought this because my 22m likes puzzles and has good hand-eye coordination. He has showed an interest in letters and numbers recently. I tried to find something that was nicer but couldn't. I would preferred a sturdier puzzle with more vibrant colors and somewhat bigger letters. Also, I think the graphics chosen to complement some of the letters are odd. I don't really expect much from M&D products and this lived up to my expectation: it gets the job done.



That being said it has helped his letter learning. We often play with it in companion to an alphabet book.

 "Neat idea, great puzzle, but strange picture choices" 2009-04-12
By S. Reinhart
Love the idea of a great puzzle, especially one that teaches the alphabet at the same time. Just not sure about the choices for the pictures under the letters that correspond (i.e. you pick up the letter "j" and there is a jump rope-- "i" and there is an insect to which my daughter yells "bug!")

I would still recommend this puzzle though.

 "Great Puzzle!" 2009-02-20
By A. Mott (Long Island, NY)
I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my son (17 mos at the time) and thought maybe it would be a little difficult for him at that time but we gave it a whirl. By the end of January he knew all of the letters and their respective places. We also reinforced "B is for Basket" "H is for House" etc. and he really understands the objects underneath. Now, less than 2 months after starting this, he is starting to show me letters in all the different places we find them, his Car's cup said "DOC HUDSON" and he could tell me where each letter was, along with his Elmo slippers that said Elmo. This puzzle teaches fine motor skills (the pieces aren't the easiest for little ones) and is a lot of fun to learn the letters of the alphabet, I can't speak highly enough of this puzzle.

 "Cute puzzle" 2009-12-20
By H. Kelly
This puzzle was so much nicer than I expected! I had seen other brands of peg puzzles and was expecting this to be similar. The puzzle is large, beautifully painted and has large, sturdy knobs that are just the right size for little hands.

 "Car and Color Puzzle" 2009-12-06
By 7785pat (Chicago, IL)
Large handled 3 piece first puzzle made of wood and non-lead paint is a typical Melissas &

Doug toy. Has that extra "something" that intrigues little ones, is sturdy, and is appropriate for span of several months. Gripping the large nobs, comparing outlines of the 3 different cars (truck, car, police car), removing and later replacing the pieces for hand/eye coordination, and identifying primary colors makes this a multidimensional toy for little ones. Familiar red stop sign background provides a connection with the outside world. Excellent toy for guided interaction with parent or older sibling as little one is introduced to it.

 "Great Early Puzzle" 2007-01-18
By Delima
My daughter received this puzzle for her first birthday. Although she gravitates toward animals, she still finds this puzzle interesting. The painted pictures underneath that correlate with the vehicle is helpful in putting the pieces back. The big chunky knobs make the pieces easy to hold. The knobs are screwed on from the back securely. My daughter's favorite hobby is banging the pieces together! The puzzle is holding up well. The wood is a little soft and shows indentations from possible "hits." However, I have not seen any teeth marks on them from teething... :)

 "Great for my 10-month old" 2009-12-03
By A. Parker (Marin County, CA)
This is my first Melissa & Doug puzzle, and I'm ready to buy more! Not only does it look much cuter in the house than the ugly (and environmentally unfriendly) plastic toys, my 10-month old daughter likes it. We're still working on putting the pieces back in the puzzle, but she likes to take them out and it keeps her entertained.

 "Will grow with your child" 2009-11-27
By Hollie Mowry (Sacile, Italy)
This puzzle is well made and fairly attractive. But the best thing about it is that it will grow with your child. My 8 month old likes to grab the pieces and bang them on things, but as she gets older she'll enjoy taking the pieces out and putting them back. I'm glad I bought it. One less piece of plastic in my house!

 "Very Durable and Easy for Little Hands" 2009-10-19
By Megan Ellinger (Plano, TX)
I bought this about two years ago for my daughter. She is quite rough on toys and played with it constantly. Even with the abuse, the toy has held up very well--the knobs are still firmly attached and none of the paint has come off either the board or the pieces. My son (10 months) is just starting to take an interest in it and it is still holding up well even with the pieces often ending up in his mouth.



I'd highly recommend this puzzle as well as any of the other jumbo knob puzzles.

 "Jumbo Know Puzzle" 2009-10-05
By Gail Ann Boulet (Bahamas)
Melissa and Doug's Jumbo Knob Puzzles are pefect for my one year olds little hands. She loves taking the pieces out and sometimes even tries to get the pieces back in the proper space. For the most part she likes taking them out and walking around the house with them. It keeps her happy, so I'm happy!
