Melissa & Doug Numbers Sound Puzzle Learning numbers is fun with this wooden puzzle. Place each number piece on the puzzle board, and when a match is made, your child will hear the name of 21 numbers and a corresponding object. It’s a fun and unique way to reinforce cause-and-effect, and early vocabulary and matching skills.
Customer Review: Fun, education puzzle
Cute puzzle for a toddler who is learning their numbers. My daughter has really enjoyed this puzzle. She likes the fact that it says the numbers back to her when she puts the piece back in its place.
Customer Review: Good teaching tool but poorly constructed
I wanted a tool to teach him numbers above 9, and with the numbers 10-20 each in one piece, I hope he can learn the concept that 10 is not “one-zero” but “ten.” I already had the Melissa and Doug alphabet puzzle, so I knew what to expect: the numbers are made of paper glued to wood, which are not very durable in the hands of a two-year-old (and never let the numbers get wet!). I didn’t realize that the surface of the puzzle board was also faux-grain paper glued on. This is tacky and cheap and not very durable! THey should leave the wood plain (like on the alphabet puzzle) and paint the numbers on the wood, so they won’t come off.
This was the only puzzle I could find with numbers up to 20, but unfortunately it is a “sound puzzle.” The last thing I need in my house are more noise-making toys! The M&D puzzle that only goes up to 10 doesn’t have sound, but it only goes up to 10, which is a drawback. It’s an easy matter not to put batteries in it, but I’d rather not have to pay extra for the sound which I don’t want.
If this puzzle had painted-on numbers, no sound capabilities, and were made in America instead of China, I would give it Five stars. I still bought it knowing all these defects, because it went up to 20, which is the only advantage of it over other puzzles.
