 Great puzzle. Jan 28, 2009
By Virginia Mom
We purchased several of these puzzles for our 3 year old son. He loves them. The pieces are large and sturdy. We like that each state and Canadian province is its own piece. It's a great way for kids to learn geography and develop spatial coordination. We have all of the continents that are available. We highly recommend.

 Wonderful way to learn your geography Jan 09, 2009
By karen0017

The pieces on this puzzle line up to the provinces and states of North America. My 8-year old knows her geography really well, and the 5-year old is susprisingly good at it. The pieces in the outer edge of the puzzle interlock, but the inner ones do not (square states, for example)... so younger kids need help keeping pieces in place. A few of the larger pieces (e.g. Nunavut and Ontario) have warped a little too, making assembly even more tricky. I recommend this puzzle to adults too -- as an immigrant to the USA I had a tough time placing most of the states.

Huge hit with my 4 yr old Aug 20, 2010
By B. Seeman
A friend recommended these puzzles to me and we started with this one. My 4 year old puts it together at least twice a day. I appreciate that the puzzle pieces are shaped like the actual state. It's been wonderful to see my son learn the names of each state and each state's geographical proximity. My only complaint is that the pieces are a little flimsy, which surprised me because it is made in Germany and we have had excellent luck with other German-made puzzles. It doesn't hinder my son, though; we just use some clear packing tape to reinforce the pieces when they start to bend a bit. My son is constantly asking me for the other puzzles in the series.

Very pleasantly surprised. May 18, 2010
By K. Thimmesch
I picked up this toy for my three year old knowing that he likely wouldn't be able to do it or wouldn't have the interest. Little did I know that it would become his FAVORITE puzzle. He has been working 100 piece ones for some time, so the number of pieces wasn't a big deal. And he can put the pieces together all by himself and really only needs help with the Eastern states as they are smaller. I am in awe of how much he likes to talk about the states and Canada as he puts the puzzle together, and how he is always asking to work it. And once it is together, he LOVES talking about where family and friends live and where he has traveled to. The puzzle itself is very durable and I like how the shapes fit together pretty well and are realistic in size (the territories in Canada being huge over the states, and the states are various sizes). Overall, a very neat puzzle and I am excited to try another by this company.

Educational, colorful, and fun Feb 10, 2010
By A. Quinn
My 6 year old son loves this puzzle. The pieces are thick and colorful, for the most part cut on state/province lines. I'd greatly recommend it for kids just learning the states and Canadian provinces. Older kids might not find it as interesting.
The only downside that I've found is that one of the outer ocean pieces has a narrow area. My son bent this piece slightly sideways while assembling the puzzle, and now it's beginning to tear. If your kids are really rough on their toys, you may end up gluing/taping this single piece back together after a month or so. We've not had a problem with the durability of any of the other pieces.
Overall, very educational, fun for kids who like puzzles.
