Melissa & Doug Underwater Ocean Floor Puzzle, 48 pc Jumbo Jigsaw Puzzle, Educational Screen Free Activity for Toddler, Preschoolers and Kids Ages 3+ (2 x 3 Feet) - FSC Certified

I bought this puzzle and the farmhouse puzzle for my 2.5 year old. I later added the floor puzzles for the dinosaurs and firetruck. I happen to think my daughter is pretty bright so I bought her this puzzle even though the age range starts at 3 years old. I would say that, of the bunch, my daughter clearly prefers the farm puzzle, however, I won't rate this puzzle negatively for that. The farm puzzle is fewer pieces (36 pieces) and the objects in the puzzle are separated out a bit more so it's easier for a child to identify it's proper placement, also the objects in the puzzles are more distinct from one another in that fishes can look like fishes whereas a cow does not look like a pig. Anyhow, this puzzle is very beautiful and bright. It does have some parts which are easier for the younger audience to discern such as the killer whales, sharks, and dolphins. Once you start getting into the reef and smaller fishes, it becomes more challenging. As I mentioned, I don't think this is necssarily a bad thing for this puzzle as the stated age range is 3 and up, so I won't rate it down for the fact that a 2 year old has a tougher time with it, but I just wanted to let parents know that if you are looking for a puzzle for a younger child, I would say that the farmhouse is great starter puzzle and then the kids can work their way up to this puzzle which is a bit more challenging. It's very durable and I can compare it to another brand (with the thomas puzzle) and the pieces on this puzzle are much thicker and durable and lock in place better. I think even though my daughter has to grow into this puzzle a bit more, I think it will provide a good bit of challenge, stimulation for some time to come.

Puzzles are so much fun and keeps minds busy. Well made. Nice size. Keeps them busy for hours. Alone or with friends.

Great quality floor puzzle!

Excellent puzzle with great colors.

My 4 year old loves doing these puzzles! They are heavy duty enough that they hold up to toddler play, and you are less likely to lose pieces because of their size. The image is vivid, and the box it comes in is also very strong. The price of these puzzles can be a bit high, but I buy them when there’s a deal. Will continue to buy.

Purchased this for our daughter (4 years old at the time) who loves puzzles. The first time through we worked on it with her. Now she can put this together herself with no problems. The pieces are large and solid provided your little one doesn't go all gorilla on them. Brilliant colors, pieces fit very well, and like all of the other Melissa & Doug products that we own it is holding up to our daughter's use/abuse very well. My personal advice: make sure you have a hard surface to assemble this on. We initially tried it on a berber-style area rug and had a couple problems with the pieces staying together. Moved to the hardwood floor in the other room and no worries. Great puzzle and we will be buying more!

Our kids love this floor puzzle. Durable, easy but challenging enough for ages 3-6 and great quality.

My daughter really enjoys these Melissa and Doug puzzles! This is our third one. The underwater theme is beautiful and the puzzle is more challenging than the solar system puzzle of the same brand we purchased recently. The reason it takes her longer to complete is that the solar system was very color obvious - the planets had pieces obviously close together in location. Here you have to match up the sea animals first to make headway since it’s a dark underwater scene with a lot of dark blues. Then compare it with the picture on the box to find out where they belong. (In that vein, I wish they could give the full picture in large on the box so the child can easily know where things belong. As it stands you have a small box on the lower left that guides you. The actual image on the box in large is blown up and covered by the little picture in the corner.) Super fun, and a good challenge. Highly recommend for ages 3 to 6!! Melissa and Doug offer great quality trusted toys and she loves their puzzles.

Buen puzzle de suelo, tamaño considerable y piezas muy fáciles de montar para un niño

I love the Melissa & Doug Underwater Ocean Floor Puzzle! The pieces are bigger, thicker, and easy to handle, making it perfect for my daughter. The design is colorful and engaging, providing a great educational, screen-free activity. Just one suggestion: if the puzzle glowed in the dark, it would take it to the next level—but this isn’t a limitation at all. My child loves it, and I definitely give it 5 stars!

Es el segundo de esta marca y tipo que adquirimos. Está genial, mi hijo no se aburre de armarlo una un otra vez. Mi niño tiene 3 años y lo domina sin apoyo por tanta práctica. Las piezas son excelentes en su tamaño y manipulación. El armado completo es de buen tamaño. No es pequeño, requieres trabajarlo en el piso con algún tapete o en un comedor. Compraremos más de este tipo, vale la pena. Saludos.

Super Amazing

As per the standard M&D product.. this is awesome. Delivery was prompt.
