University Game Impossibles Cow Country Puzzle

61nmCB21bxL University Game Impossibles Cow Country Puzzle University Game Impossibles Cow Country Puzzle CHOCKING HAZARD – CONTAINS SMALL PARTS – NOT FOR CHILDREN UNDER 3
Customer Review: No more cows!
** no spoilers! I won’t give anything away **

I don’t consider myself a puzzle expert. But I’d guess that most people attack puzzles the same way: finish the border, tackle the easy pieces, then fill in the rest while looking at the box plenty.

Made from solid-wood pieces that easily interlock and fit into a convenient wood tray. A wonderful first jigsaw puzzle. 12 pieces. 11″ by 8.5″ Ages 3+
Customer Review: Great learning puzzle
We bought this puzzle for my 2 1/2 year old and she absolutely loves it. We bring it with us everywhere (restaurants, grandma’s house, etc.) and it keeps her busy time and time again. It is a great developemental tool and extremly durable. We were very happy with the value we received for the price we paid. I would definitely recommend this product!
Customer Review: Disappointing for a Melissa & Doug Product
Let me preface this with how much I like Melissa and Doug products overall. My grandchildren have many M&D toys and this is the first that hasn’t been great. It’s a cute puzzle, and my grandchildren loved the animals on it, but I’ve never seen a puzzle where the pieces were so hard to get apart. Within the first 15 minutes of two little girls playing with the puzzle, many of the edges frayed just from trying to get the pieces apart. You might say, “They picked at the paper edges,” but no, I was sitting with them and that was not the case. After two days of play, almost all the paper edges were frayed to some degree. This one will soon have to go in the trash. It’s not worth my time and effort to return it.
