Melissa & Doug Underwater 48-Piece Floor Puzzle

My son loves this puzzle and works it over and over. The picture is bright and engaging. The pieces are easy to put together for his age - 7 years. And it is easy to figure out which ones go to this puzzle when they get mixed in with other puzzle pieces. That's a good thing from my parent-position.

Our 4 year old grandson is great with puzzles. The 24 piece ones are very easy for him. We wanted to challenge him, over 24 pcs, but not 100 pcs which he gives up. This puzzle is big and of hard cardboard. Its lots of fun for us watching his expressions when we put it together and talk about the different fish. You can't go wrong with Melissa & Dough Puzzles.

I bought this puzzle to do with my 3 1/2 yr. old son, and we love it! He still needs a little help and can't do it by himself, but it has been a fun activity that helps him learn and develop his thinking skills!

I purchased this for my 4 year old son and he loved it, he is able to do the entire puzzle himself and loves the size and pictures on the puzzle, I would highly recommend it.

This toy is not only good fun for my son (4 yrs), but also for me. Even my 2 yr old has started showing an interest in puzzles because of the bright, colourful pieces. It helps me relax and unwind, at the same time be doing a fun activity with my children. The puzzle pieces are thick and durable, but will not withstand being chewed upon - so if you have a dog or a younger child who likes to chew on things, it could be tricky!

It takes about 20 mins for me and my son to solve the puzzle from scratch. It is definitely a challenge for my son to do it by himself - he's not yet managed that. I think upto 6 yr olds can find it challenging - it could keep them occupied for 45 mins or so.

Ideal for ages 3.5+ to about 6 yrs (of course it's always fun for adults, but if you're a puzzle fan you probably want to do something more challenging as an adult).
