 Love these puzzles Jan 09, 2010
I ended up with one of each puzzle for my 7 and 10 year old sons. Both have really enjoyed learning the names of all these countries and putting everything together. It's wonderful to hear them as they go through Europe, Africa, Asia... in addition to learning the names of the countries, they are also picking up the oceans and seas, which are also marked. I think it's a tremendous way to learn geographic information. I've also learned some things that I never knew.
One reviewer said that the pieces don't stay together - it is true that since they are not "puzzle shaped" they don't have as many interlocking elements as other puzzle pieces, but both of my children were able to work around that.
A minor drawback is that sometimes that are large areas of ocean in the puzzles and it can be hard to figure out where those go.
Finally, some of the pieces can be very small so be sure you don't lose them.
I've been recommending this to all our friends - it's a great learning tool.
 Geopuzzle Jan 08, 2010
This is a great puzzle for child or adult who wants to learn the locations of countries. Educational, fun, attractive, and sturdy enough. I have several Geopuzzles and am pleased with all of them.

Fun With Learning! Oct 04, 2009
We use these puzzles in our homeschool geography study. What a fun way to become familiar with continents and countries. Each month, we study a different continent. In addition to maps, colors, books and all that goes with it, these puzzles add some great fun to our class. The kids would put it together each day and race to see if they could beat their time from the day before. The loved it! As they get more familiar with the countries and where they go, the time gets faster! The children asked us to buy them all because they liked them so much!!

Phenomenal Puzzle Aug 05, 2009
We received this GeoPuzzle yesterday and have completed it with our two year old son four times. He loves it and is already naming the countries.
We do the puzzle with a globe and the puzzle box nearby. We point to a country on the box and ask him what it is, or say what it is ourselves) and ask if he can find it. The bright colors make the pieces easy to find. ("Can you find a green country called Pakistan?") He always finds the piece and holds it up triumphantly. Then we put the piece in together and sometimes show him where the same country is on the globe. He has a wonderful time.
An older child, or even an adult, would have a great time working on this puzzle alone. I find that I'm getting a much better grasp of geography by playing with this.
The quality is excellent. The colors are vivid and the pieces seem as though they will withstand a great deal of abuse.
We're having so much fun with this puzzle that we're going to buy the rest of the GeoPuzzle collection. This is a fantastic way to play and learn political geography at the same time.

 pieces don't stay together Feb 23, 2009
This is a great idea that is poorly executed. Because the pieces are shaped like the countries, they do not stay together the way a regular jigsaw puzzle does. This becomes very tedious for both child and adult--the puzzle comes apart every time you touch it to put in a new piece. In addition, the pieces are pretty thin--not as thick and sturdy as they should be for the price.
Very educational--it is just not very user-friendly. You will need a lot of patience with this puzzle ( and all the Geo Puzzle map puzzles).
