I knew that this puzzle won't have pictures of the inserts underneath, which I think is important for kids that are an age that still require puzzles with big knobs like this puzzle has. I think it is a design flaw that this puzzle doesn't have corresponding pictures underneath the pieces but decided to buy it anyway and figured that I'll simply take pictures of the pieces, print them and glue them inside. So I wouldn't have given the puzzle 5 stars anyway. But I was willing to do that - it's not easy to find puzzles with big knobs that show real pictures of things that are relatable to a young toddler.Upon receipt of the puzzle, it looked exactly as pictured with vibrant colors and a nice smooth surface. However, when we opened it and lifted the puzzle pieces, they were anything but smooth underneath - messy edges, splinters, a rough surface. I'm not sure if we received a fluke or if this is normal. But caution to anyone who intends to gove this as a gift - I would remove the plastic and check how the puzzle pieces look underneath before gifitng it.Usually if there is a couple of rough edges when I buy something made of wood for our daughter, I use some sandpaper to smooth it over myself. But since the whole surface underneath the puzzle pieces was like this, it was just too much work - so we returned it.

Got this product for 18-28 mo classroom and the pieces are easy to remove, pictures crisp and not peeling, but there’s no matching picture on the board where each piece goes. Kids can’t figure it out, even with teaching and help.

The puzzle is sturdy. The only thing I don’t like is that pictures aren’t under the pegs. The child has to go by the shape only.

The the puzzle pieces are so realistic - looking & colorful. My grandchildren love playing with the puzzle.

Perfect for tiny fingers while helping them learn shape recognition❤️
