what parents are saying
Melissa & Doug make the best puzzles. All are hand painted and the customer service is excellent. Safari puzzle is great for working on animals & the sounds they make, as well as matching. Love this (Jun 01, 2020)

Great puzzles! The only thing I wish is that they didn’t peel when they get wet (especially from drool). My kids have ruined a few of the puzzles because they put pieces in their mouths. Aug 08, 2022

The sounds it plays are WAY too long and frankly sound a little creepy even. It goes off without even being close to it so we ended up taking the batteries out. Nice try but no thanks. Jan 08, 2019
