Melissa & Doug Solar System Floor Puzzle 48-Piece Jumbo Jigsaw

Great birthday gift for toddlers and young children . It's durable and good quality

Great puzzle. Bought it for my preschool classroom and the kids love it.

I bought this for my nephew when he turned two, because he was obsessed with the planets and also loved puzzles. He was able to put it all together himself within a few days, but continued to love it, and would put it together (along with some of his other favorite puzzles) over and over again. It held up really well, through frequent use (and occasional abuse) by a toddler. The pieces are thick and sturdy, and they fit together well but also come apart easily. All around, it's very well-made. Strangely, at the age of three my nephew completely lost interest in puzzles, and basically refused to do them for about a year. But he's recently started becoming interested in them again, and has been going back to this puzzle especially, which seems to be his favorite. It's still in good shape, everything still fits together perfectly, and despite a lot of use, only a couple of the pieces have small bends.

Great product great size for 4 year olds in a class room

Durable, fun and aesthetically pleasing! My 3 yr old absolutely loves it! Thanks for a great product!

My Grandson loved it!! He is in to puzzles and loves planets so it was the perfect gift! Fast shipping. As always Melissa and Doug provided the perfect educational toy!

Ok, I have to pull a star for excluding Pluto, but it's obvious the puzzle's educational value is not in learning about the solar system as much as it is in learning to complete jigsaw puzzles. As such, the image has artistic and inspirational value, and not much educational value. I mean, besides missing Pluto, the planets are not drawn to relative scale, the orbit and scale of their moons are way off, the colors are excessively saturated and so on -- but this isn't about teaching the solar system. It's just a puzzle. As such, it's a very good one. The pieces are rigid, fit precisely for their size, appear to be durable, don't seem to easily warp, and those colors and object scales are off for a purpose -- to aide in one method of finding puzzle pieces that go together. My 4 year old independently noticed that the Moon and Earth were the largest and knew this wasn't correct. Because of that I was able to explain "perspective." Anyway, it's a good puzzle, well made, and the large size is fun. I just wish it had longer-lasting value. I think most children will pretty quickly outgrow 48 piece puzzles and this one will be of little remaining interest -- but of course it's impractical to start with 1000 piece puzzles, so we need beginning or intermediate puzzles like this for the short time that we're at this level. Now, while I agree that the puzzle's instructional value is as a puzzle not as a solar system diagram, the correct response to Pluto reclassification is to INCLUDE Kuiper belt objects rather than delete/omit knowledge. Because the asteroid belt was included, and Pluto was previously included in basic solar system knowledge, it's reasonable to expect Pluto and Kuiper belt objects on this solar system puzzle. In essence, if we learned something more about Pluto, then TEACH it, don't omit it. Additional knowledge is not a good reason to fail to teach what was previously proven not to be too complicated to learn.

The kids loved it! Great condition, size and all the pieces were there. Fun!

finalmente un puzzle che non sia della disney! importante il soggetto, un po confusionale con la perspettiva dei pianeti per la distanza dalla luna (per me). se non, ottimo prezzo per un prodotto che non sia banale o inutile.

Great product

Puzzle quality is good and big in size. My kid learnt solar system by playing this puzzle.

Snabb och punktlig leverans. Kändes tryggt och säkert.

Excelente rompecabezas para los niños, lo compre como regalo para mi sobrino y le encantó. Tiene un tamaño grande y sencillo de armar, los colores son muy buenos y las imágenes de los planetas muy bonitos. Lo recomiendo.
