 A good, sturdy puzzle at a great priceSep 11, 2007
By Trivimp
Like most puzzles of this type, you don't really get 50 pieces -- some of the New England states get lumped together on one piece so you won't be losing Rhode Island as soon as you open the thing. And the cutting lines sometimes fudge the geographical boundaries a bit. So what? The kids won't care. A puzzle is hands-down the best way to teach a grade-schooler his state capitols, and this particular one is as sturdy & well-made as some I've seen for three times the price.

Funtastic Learning even for a 2 year old!Jan 23, 2008
By Denali
My husband bought this puzzle for our 2 year old daughter. He and I had similar puzzles when we were children. She loves puzzles and this is her absolute favorite. She plays with it at least 3 times every day (for the past 3 months). She knows all the states and the little factoid pictures on each state. She even has fun telling us what state her food looks like (i.e. a bitten piece of cheese becomes Utah, etc.) I highly recommend this puzzle for all ages. The only downside to the puzzle is that the little Northeastern states are lumped together - so I have to review those with her each time. BUt now she knows them! If you want your child to excel at US Geography, invest in this puzzle! If my 2 year old can learn all 50 states, anyone can!!

My 2 year old loves this puzzleJan 02, 2011
By CS
"LV Mama"
It's been hard to find puzzles that keep my 2 year olds attention and challenges her. After one week, she mastered this puzzle. It's rated for 5 and up, but if you have a very inquisitive younger toddler, don't let the age it's rated for steer you away. Now, we can challenge her in different ways. She's learning which states relatives live in and the state capitals. Such a good quality puzzle, too.

 This toy is fun for me and my child.Feb 01, 2010
By Joan Nuttle
This is a wooden puzzle which, I preferred in the beginning before I purchased it. My child is 2 and 9 mos old so all he cares is where the piece of puzzle goes. However, I myself is much more enjoying filling the puzzle up because I am interested in knowing all the states and where the states are located. One disadvantage is, when I put the puzzle away, I need something to cover them up! They easily fall! I guess I wanted a magnetic puzzle after all. And some of the states on the corner side particularly are not defined on the piece. Just a picture on it but no name of the state. I thought the space is very little on the corner that is why they did that design. Overall I am just okay with the item.

trip down memomory laneDec 28, 2010
By Debbie Strother
Many years ago,I learned so much from my wooden US puzzle. I wanted my grandson to have this experience. He just turned 4 and he can't put it together by himself, but it is a wonderful opportunity for his grandparents to teach him not only information about geography, but basic problem-solving strategies as well. It is a wonderful toy best used in a multi-generational setting.
