Customer Review: Great learning toy and they are one of the few toys that last through various ages and stages of development!
My daughter LOVES this puzzle. She began playing with it and an animal Melissa & Doug puzzle when she was 6 months old. She still loves playing with them now that she is 13 months old. I am a preschool and kindergarten teacher and know the importance of puzzles in a childs development. These puzzles are great learning “toys.” They work not only on fine motor skills but hand eye coordination and verbal skills. My daughter is just now figuring out how the pieces go in. Also, she loves to say “CAR” or “Vroom” every time she picks up one of the trucks. With the animal puzzle she picks them up and says the names of the animals and the sounds. Definitely worth the $$!
Customer Review: Not Like The Old Melissa and Doug Chunky Puzzles
We have several Melissa and Doug chunky puzzles that my son loves, so we ordered this one to add to the collection. Sadly, this particular puzzle (and the dinosaur one) are not the same quality as other puzzles in the series. The older chunky puzzles have an image painted on each piece. Even the back and sides of each piece are painted in primary colors. The newer chunky puzzles are pressed wood cut outs with raw (and somewhat rough) edges and backsides with decals stuck on the front. My son is still teething and sticks everything in his mouth. Within five minutes of opening this puzzle the decals are already coming off. For a product that is supposedly hand made, it is shoddy. Be warned, this is not like the older version of this puzzle!

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Safari Chunky Puzzle

Posted on December 22, 2008 by Noel

Little ones can go on an amazing safari adventure with this playful chunky puzzle that’s teeming with wildlife. The puzzle’s thick wooden pieces all fit neatly into their spots on the colorful board, and they even stand up on their own for additional pretend play. Puzzle features full-color images beneath each piece. Measures 12″H x 11″W x 0.8″D.
Customer Review: Knock-off , not name brand!
I want to say first that I LOVE Melissa and Doug products. They are very durable and grow with my son developmentally. My problem with this product is that what I received was very clearly NOT a Melissa and Doug puzzle. It very much resembled one until I picked up the puzzle pieces and discovered that they were nothing more than raw wood cut-outs w/ stickers on top! There was not one drop of paint on the pieces! The board was nicely painted and has the Melissa & Doug ‘logo’ on it like the others that I have, so I am not sure at all what went wrong w/ the pieces.
Customer Review: An awesome buy – a sure winner!
Got this for my little girl at 14 months old. We’ve owned it for 2+ months now and she still plays with it EVERYDAY! At the beginning, she only takes the pieces out and walks around with them. Now she’s taking them out and could recognize which animal goes where and attempts to fit it back into their spots. The edges are very smooth and the pieces are very easy to grab for little hands. Brightly colored is surely a plus ( the picture represented here is pretty accurate in color of item that you will receive).
