> 3 dayMy grandson is obsessed with construction vehicles. This one was a winner. And the fact that the wooden pieces are so thick he was able to stand them up on the window sill. Truly many hours of enjoyment!

> 3 dayBright wooden puzzles with chunky pieces that are sized perfectly for toddlers. Our little one LOVES this puzzle. The pieces are larger sized and thick, so he not only uses them with the puzzle, but likes to slide them around the house and pretend play on a construction site. Note that other reviewers are correct-- this toy is no longer painted with car. The individual construction vehicles are wooden pieces with stickers on them, not paint. This means they are bright and attractive, but MUCH less durable. If your kiddo likes to munch on toys, the paper stickers will wither and peel right off. This is a problem primarily for younger kids.

> 3 dayMy son really got into these chunky puzzles around 20-21 months. We own about 10 of these and he is still very interested in them. He pretty much mastered them at around 22 months but he still loves to go through the puzzles at night before bedtime. I find them to be very educational and durable. Good quality all around. Would recommend.

> 3 dayTwo year old loves these. Drives them around a lot more than using the as a puzzle but he enjoys how the can stand up and often lines them all up. Super thick and rugged. Tough paint stands up as well as would be expected to sharp little teeth.

> 3 dayI ordered this puzzle on 6/17 from a seller (Supermart) who is 116 miles from where I live. Est. delivery was supposed to be between 6/21 and 6/26. Supermart sat on this order until 6/20 before they even bothered to ship it. Well here it is a half a month (15 days) later and the puzzle shows up in the mail packaged poorly and some paint rubbed off one of the jumbled up pieces! BAD SELLER! It was free shipping but at a high cost of not receiving the product for half a month! I could have driven to Northern Alaska, bought this puzzle, and driven back to Kentucky in the amount of time it took Supermart to sent it 116 measly miles! Do not buy from Supermart unless you could care less how long it takes to get it. On to the puzzle itself, Melissa and Doug have lowered their puzzle building standards tremendously. We have 2 other M & D Chunky puzzles and they are beautiful and the wood or wood composite is smooth and the paint is nice. This puzzle is not smooth and the paint (I can tell) is going to scratch off badly. Its like if you painted something wooden before you sanded it down....the paint will be rough too! Same here! Also, it has a STRONG odor, like a strong lacquer smell! Im a little hesitant to even give it to my 19 month old until it can air out a little. Bottom line, this puzzle is not very well made (unlike the other M & D puzzles we own). But if you buy it, dont buy it from Supermart, choose a different seller!

> 3 dayMy 16 month old loves these puzzles. With thinner puzzle pieces she struggles to slide them into the correct spot, but with these she can grasp them pretty easily and it lessens the frustration. Just enough pieces to hold their attention but not be too overwhelming. I also like that on the puzzle board there is an actual picture of the piece where the piece goes. These are my favorite puzzles for 1-3 yrs.

Greater than one weekMy 2 1/2 old grandson lone this puzzle. We spent an hour playing with it. He did the puzzle multiple times. Stacked the vehicles. I named each on and stood them in a row.

> 3 dayNice big pieces, easy for baby hands to pick up. Grandson doesn’t get the piece in the slot yet but he recognizes where it goes so we’ll keep practicing!

> 3 dayThis is a great tool for engaging the oil ones and labeling. Its also good for teaching hand eye coordination and simple commands like turn the car around, pick up, put on and clean up time. I picked up a few of these puzzles and I like that durability of the wood pieces and the strength of the board itself. The images are applied and not painted to the blocks. Ive had these for about 14 months and Ive seen no lifting or peeling. The twins just turned 3 a few months ago and there were a favorite toy option for them. Sometimes, I had to send them to nap with their favorite pieces. I have used a damp paper towel to clean stains. Im more than satisfied. I purchased the farm animals, shapes, and construction sight.

> 3 dayMy son received this for a Christmas present, and months later the pieces have pride of place on his bookshelf--he prefers to play with them as trucks rather than put them in the puzzle, and thats the beauty of these chunky puzzles. Theyre actually two toys in one!
