my son has this in his montessori class and i had to get some for our house hes so obsessed with

I purchased these puzzles for our church nursery. The children all love doing the puzzles. It is so great to see them practicing colors, numbers and shapes. Also great for fine motor too. Great to find such great things will be back to shop again for the nursery.

I ordered the Classic Hardwood Activity Boards for our Early Head Start Toddler 3 classroom. We have a child on the spectrum in this class so we wanted something bright and perhaps challenging. At this point he only watches the kids put it together but comes close to watch. The activity board where leaves, butterflies, stars, hearts, etc... are assembled and numbers associated with it is challenging and can be used for colors, numbers, shapes, as are the other boards. Really fun, really challenging for our little folks.

In my experience, This puzzle set appeals to 18 months to 4 years. The younger children stack the rings, sort the rings, then count the rings. Then shapes, then mixing it together with counting and shapes that make up objects. Similar in shape, size and construction children work on their puzzle with less distractions, and children build confidence redoing simpler puzzles and finding challenge in more complex puzzle. Highly recommend.

My two year old granddaughter gets totally absorbed in working these over and over. Her mom says she gets faster and more accurate each time she plays with these puzzles. Both Mama and toddler are happy. Good choice for a birthday gift!

My 2 1/2 yr. old granddaughter just loves these puzzles! Besides counting, colors, and motor skills, we make "hamburgers" , pretend "soup", talk adding, taking away and even fraction ideas! Great quality product!

Had her interest for a long time. Great for teaching colors, shapes and coordination.

Paint is already chipping off after only 2 weeks

This was an excellent choice as it is well made and fun to use. Our kid plays with this and really likes this.
