 Educational, colorful, and fun Feb 10, 2010
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.
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.
Great Learning tool and fun. Jan 04, 2010
Well, It's a puzzle. No batteries, no tv, or cartridge required. My kids enjoy video games like most kids, inasmuch we occasionally force on them an educational toy of sorts. This is one that they both enjoy (they are 7 and 8).
The puzzle itself, is of what Id gander is a high quality/density cardboard. Whats particularly nice about it is a majority of the pieces are often a country, state or territory (depending on which puzzle you are doing. We have several of these).
Aside from the enjoyment most kids get out of doing a puzzle, questions arise out of them in which i know they are learning. "Dad, there are two Washingtons?" "What does D.C. stand for?", "Alaska is one of the biggest states isn't it" and so on....
Though they are not exactly cheap for a typical puzzle, in my opinion you are getting your moneys worth for what the kids walk away with. A better understanding of the world we live in.
My PreK son loves it! Dec 29, 2009
Albeit, my 4½-year-old son already loves puzzles. I wanted him to have fun while teaching him at the same time. After our first "puzzle lesson" he could already remember specific things about at least 10 states or Canadian provinces, like New Brunswick catches a lot of lobsters. Of course he loved constructing the puzzle more than learning, but he got the hang of it and was asking me after picking up each new piece, "what does this piece do mama?" Meaning, he wanted me to tell him what was special about that state or province. Cute fun!

 Pieces don't click together, not for 4 year old Jul 20, 2009
Bought this for my 4year old...who is now 5. He is good with puzzles, he can do 100 piece puzzles by himself. Unfortunately, these do not click together as each piece has a straight cut side (no lock and key, curvy, locking sides) so its hard to keep the pieces together. Great educational toy. Not for 4-5 year olds unless they are with an adult.
