Melissa and Doug Solar System 48pc Floor

This was a fun puzzle for my 2, 3 & 5 year olds! I love the big pieces and we are learning about the planets by discussing their colors, rings and positions relative to other planets.

I must say, I was sad not to see Pluto....I forgot it's been downgraded and is no longer a planet. But that's not Melissa and Doug's fault :)

My son and I have had hours of fun with this, even though he is only two, hes learning the shapes and colors, and loves to try every combination. The colors are outstanding and the pieces are large enough for him to work with.

This is a great puzzle from Melissa and Doug. Their floor puzzles are very durable and fairly priced and this is no acception. It's also a great picture to make a puzzle out of because it doesn't have a lot of blank space and not a lot of color repetition. My 3yo daughter learned how to spell all the planets with this one and loves to pick out which are which. Definitely would recommend this one for kids.

This puzzle is well made and durable, which is great for my 2 year old who loves puzzles. She will get this out at least once a day and put it together. It has also been fun interacting with her as she has started asking questions about the planets and learning about the solar system as best as a 2 year old can.

I ordered the solar system floor puzzle for my 6 year old grandson for his mini 4-H project. He is doing the Sun, Moon & Space mini 4-H project and really doesn't like to do crafts. He has completed the puzzle by himself a couple of times already. He is a pretty good puzzler so this puzzle was pretty simple for him, but the pieces are large and very strong. I also ordered some puzzle glue to make it into a picture. I purchased a poster frame and it should fit perfectly as it is 24" x 36". We will hang this in his room until 4-H fair time and then it will be on display.

I would highly recommend this puzzle. It very educational since it pictures the solar system. It's pieces are strong and well made. When I ordered the puzzle came in just a few days too!
