Melissa & Doug Farm Wooden Cube Puzzle With Storage Tray - 6 Puzzles in 1 (16 pcs) - FSC CertifiedThe Forest Stewardship Council

I gave this puzzle to my daughters (age 1.5 and 3.5) for Christmas. Practically the first day, the stickers started to peel here and there. It wasn't terrible, but it's obvious that over time this isn't going to hold up.I'm terribly disappointed because I wanted such a neat puzzle to last for the grandchildren. This puzzle is advertised as a wooden puzzle, which implies quality construction. It may be made of wood under the stickers, but that doesn't mean it's going to last.After purchasing the Cutting Food Box by Melissa & Doug, (which is a fabulous, durable, awesome toy) I foolishly assumed that this would be of the same great quality, probably with a painted-on finish. Or at least a layer of lamination over the stupid stickers to protect them!!!Well, it's just typical cheap "made in China" junk.I called the company to complain. The first lady I spoke to assured me that this was absolutely not supposed to happen, it must be that I just got a bad one. She told me she'd send me a new one right away.Here I am, over a month later, no new puzzle has arrived. So I called again and spoke to a gentlemen who wasn't so helpful. Apparantly, they just entered my information today, so my puzzle should ship tomorrow. I can't believe it's taking them so long to ship me a new one. But I guess, since they've already taken my money I'm not a priority anymore.To top it off, my replacement puzzle will be of the same construction, no improvements. I don't really even want it anymore, but the customer service guy "didn't know what else to tell me."Well the bottom line is, don't waste your money on this one, at least not if you're expecting something long-lasting.

I got this for a "big sister" present for a friend about to have her second kid but, I chose this because I use this regularly as a pediatric Occupational Therapist. So many ways to play with this - make the animal as it's supposed to be, make a silly animal, make a new animal sound to match the silly mixed-up animal, tell a story about the animal you made, build a tower, draw the animal, build it in the box or out, just to name a few ideas... This is a great present for a second-time mom with a new baby since the pieces are big enough to not get lost or be a hazard to a baby and doesn't have so many pieces that clean up is awful.The pictures are bright and the design is simple enough to not be overwhelming and provides room for creativity. Sturdy and cute. A great toy for ages 3 - 5... the kid needs to be able to understand putting together a simple puzzle without cutouts, not get too frustrated that there are 6 options on each side (younger children may find that aspect hard), and can work on visual perception, fine motor, visual-motor, executive functioning, flexibility, and many many other skills! A great toy overall!

My granddaughter loves this wooden puzzle blocks. Once she has mastered it we will give to her younger cousin.

It’s a good concept but the images peel off very quickly. Mine are already coming apart

I think this puzzle is a little tough for 18mos-2 years but it will be fun for my daughter here in a year or so. It is well made and I think will hold up for a long time to come! I am overall really happy with the purchase!

I had one of these puzzles as a kid and it was one of my favorite things to play with. I ordered one for my son’s Easter basket and I’m disappointed that I waited to open it after its return period. The quality is terrible. The stickers are peeling up and will be easily destroyed in a few plays. It’s very disappointed because Mellisa & Doug products are normally reputable and have good quality.

I’m not even joking when I say that this is used over 20 times a day. My son loves all the Melissa and Doug farm animals.

I think I enjoy this toy more than my kid does! I love the concept of there being different images on each side. Helps keep my kid still while I get things done around the house.
