I was excited to find wood jigsaw puzzles, but this one started falling apart from day one. Just as other reviewers have mentioned, the laminate started to peel and chip immediately. I have tried gluing the laminate back on, but it didn’t last. I also agree that the pieces fit very tightly. My 3yo son is able to put it together, but cannot separate the pieces. He will sometimes get frustrated when he’s trying pieces together, they don’t match, but then he can’t get them apart. That isn’t very much fun for him and greatly diminishes his interest in the puzzle. I also have trouble with the thin wood base of this puzzle drying out and warping. We live in Arizona and I know our humidity is very low. This happens to all our thin wood puzzles, so if anyone knows if there is some kind of nontoxic oil or other product that would help repair/fix this problem, I would be super appreciative. We have a few other Melissa & Doug wood puzzles that are thicker (fire engine w/sound, hands, and feet), and we don’t have a problem with these because the base is thicker. We will probably have to stick to these thicker puzzles.

This particular puzzle is superb for those small hands of the 3 year old. It’s colorful. The individual pieces are large and it allows for excellent dexderity as they attempt to complete the puzzle. Highly, highly recommended.

Bought this for my 2.5 year old daughter who absolutely loves it. It is similiar to her other puzzles from the company, however she does not seem to mind. Have had no issues with durability with the product. It is very easy for her to work with and she can be as tough with the pieces as she wishes without issue. Have bought other puzzles from the company and they are as good. Look forward to moving up to the 48 piece offerings.
As a recap, these are not floor puzzels. They come with their own tray and the pieces are pretty thick. The product is everything it claims to be.

Perfect for a 2-1/2 year old boy who likes challenges. Melissa and Doug puzzles are very durable and of good quality. He started with the 12-piece puzzles and has a 48-piece waiting for him. It won’t be long before he’ll be ready.
