Not a good puzzle - for any age
By A14U2A13PBE4JL on 2004-06-04
This puzzle was disappointing. Almost all the pieces are basically the same shape, so every piece fits with just about every other piece. Also, they're very thin pieces which won't stand up to much 3-4 year old abuse. And even when you put them together they don't really "snap" into place so they just fall apart when you try to add the next piece to the puzzle - very frustrating, especially for a young puzzle builder.
We have the Animals in the Barn Puzzle and it is much better quality all around.
A Great Introduction To Jigsaws

We originally bought this for my daughter when she was 3. She still likes it at 4 ½. Her younger brother (less than 2) also likes it. He has become very good at matching the pieces to their proper places.
While this is more challenging than 12-piece wooden puzzles, the design is such that most pieces are easy to tell where they go.
We have had no trouble with the puzzle coming undone while being worked on and after almost two years of use (and lots of travel) the puzzle looks to be still new.
We love the "lunch box" carrying case. It is more durable than any cardboard box and closes more firmly.
All in all this is one of the more popular toys in our household. The only problem is we have not found any other puzzles with such a nice case.
Cheap puzzle

All the cut shapes are the same, so it's very easy for my 3-1/2 year old to force pieces in the wrong place. The pieces also seem thin and flimsy. The coolest thing about the puzzle is the lunchbox/carrycase. All in all, the quality is much less than I expect from Ravensburger .
The Ravensburger "Thomas Giant Floor Puzzle (24 Pc)" is a far superior product, but no longer complex enough for my kid.
Great starter puzzle

Very nice colorful puzzle. My son loves Thomas and this puzzle with 24 pieces was perfectly sized to get him started doing puzzles. He does it three times a day (we bought him two other Melissa and Doug puzzles that I recommend) and he doesn't tire of it.
great puzzle

my 3 year old daughter loves this puzzle! The pieces are sturdy and the picture is just complicated enough for her to put together. I think this is a great puzzle for preschoolers.
