Melissa & Doug Blues Clues & You! Wooden Chunky Puzzle - Fridge Food (10 Pieces)

Well built just like the ones in the 80s

Great for toddler to play with.

On the surface this is a well made little learning board, all of the wood and shapes are really chunky and the board is very thick, just make sure you don’t get any liquid near it, which is a problem with toddlers and young children. The colours are really bright the images on the pieces are well drawn. There are 10 slots with 10 different fruit images and numbers, you slot in the rather chunky wooden pieces that represent the fruit underneath. The shapes are well defined and the pieces are smooth. The board is nice and thick and I think the idea is great, as soon as my daughter got this with the large pieces and colourful images she was trying to fit the pieces in place, brilliant idea and because everything is so big and thick it is perfect for little hands. There is however a big problem for all its thickness and wooden nature it’s let down by the finish, it’s just not robust enough. If your child won’t have this near food or any sort of liquid and doesn’t like to pick at things then it’s fine but if they do this will start to fall apart. The images seem like thin paper in the board and any sort of food residue that’s sticky can’t be cleaned off well. Water or cleaning wipes also cause the images to break apart, it seems like paper on top of the wood but made to look like wood below the shapes. In only a few days our daughter has dropped snacks on it, spilt a bit of water and managed to rip the print and she is not really a destructive child, we have plenty of these wooden puzzles and the rest are fine as the print is in the wood, they might not look as perfect but they are much more robust. Its a real shame as the wood is good quality and everything is so well thought out in the puzzle and the chunky pieces are great for little hands. It is just let down by very poor quality in its stock in print. I also think at £21.49 as of September 2021 its too expensive.

My 2 year old loves it and so does my 4 year old its alot bigger then I thought it was

Granddaughter loves it

Melissa & Doug deliver again with us wooden puzzle that’s made for children around the age of one and up. It’s a fun, educational way to engage children in learning colors, fruits, and matching skills. This would also make a great birthday party present.

Melissa & Doug Blues Clues & You! Wooden Chunky Puzzle - Fridge Food is great for someone learning to count. It’s great because it’s colorful and eye catching!

This is a great puzzle for learning. It is one of the big sized Melissa and Doug chunky puzzles. The colours are vibrant and the pieces are nice and large. This puzzle is great for teaching colours, numbers and puzzle matching skills. Both my 1 and 3 year old love this puzzle. The only negative thing I would say is it frustrates my daughter that the puzzle counts downwards rather than across. The pieces are in a little fridge but wish they had gone across the puzzle board rather than down on each sides. Still a great puzzle and glad we bought it. Highly recommend!

I got this for my kiddos and I was impressed with the colors on this puzzle. Most kids puzzles are poorly designed and chips right away. This had a beautiful finish and colors are vibrant
