 Durable, learning tool August 18, 2007

Took this product to Africa to share with African teachers, who had never done a jigsaw puzzle - ever! They loved it! Different colors of countries on puzzle makes it very appealing. Pieces were tough and thick. None were tiny. Some were small and for age 5 and under, could be lost if not careful. But the joy on their faces made it all worth while.

These puzzles are great for getting your geography straight...helps get all those countries you've heard of and THOUGHT you knew where they were
in place. Because the puzzle pieces are cut along country lines you are much more aware of size, borders etc. My grandkids liked them; my son said, "We ought to put these together once a month;" and I enjoyed doing them too.
Excellent for all ages! August 20, 2008

I purchased this puzzle for my three and four year old daughters. When I first opened it I was a bit skeptical that they would be able to do it(it took me a bit to figure out). Once we did it together a couple of times, they now know where a majority of the pieces go and love putting it together! They are also able to name some of the larger countries.Not only are my daughters learning, but myself as well!! This is a great product and I plan on buying the rest of the collection as well.

Pieces are smaller than I expected, but that was okay with me. I just hope we don't lose any pieces.

I bought this puzzle for my 2 and 4 year olds. We LOVE this puzzle. Sure, they need help putting it together but that is no big deal. It is a great learning tool. They are learning the location of all the countries as well as their names and capitals. They also learn about which seas and oceans are where.
As one reviewer noted, the pieces do not stay in place like regular puzzles. This is a bonus for me. I think it is better that the pieces are the actual shapes of the countries (which aren't shaped like traditional puzzle pieces). As long as you are putting the puzzle together on a flat surface rather than carpet you should have no trouble keeping them together. My two year old occasionally gets frustrated that they move a little until you get them all together but my 4 year old, and certainly any adults with patience, are able to handle this.
