Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug Deluxe Fire Truck Chunky Puzzle
Customer Review: There are better fire truck puzzles out there
Summary: 2 Stars
My two year old loves puzzles and he loves fire trucks, but this puzzle was a disappointment.
This is not a good puzzle. There are basically two kinds of good puzzles -- puzzles where the shapes are related to the subject of the puzzle, and puzzles where the shapes are not related to the subject, but instead are designed to "lock" together. This puzzle is neither. The shapes do not lock together, neither do the relate particularly well to the pieces of the fire truck. The result is a puzzle that is difficult and frustrating for a toddler. My son could put in the wheels, the dog, and the fire hydrant -- but then he had to stop and ask me to put the rest of the puzzle together. The pieces do not give him the right clues -- Neither the picture nor the shapes of the pieces give him good insight into how to put the fire truck together.
This being said, he does love to watch me put the puzzle together, because when I am done we have a big red fire truck.
Also, and here I may be being a little over-sensitive, the figure of the African American fireman looks a little too much like a minstel-show figure in blackface. I am taking another star off for insensitive design.
If you want a good puzzle, although pitched at a slightly older crowd (3+), the Melissa and Doug "In a Box" puzzles are a good choice. My son just loves the "Melissa and Doug Deluxe Vehicles In a Box Jigsaw Puzzles" and the "Melissa and Doug In a Box Deluxe Construction In a Box Jigsaw Puzzles." These are 12-piece puzzles with pieces that "lock" together. At 27 months, my son does need some help putting them together, but when we get these pieces together he is so pleased. The pieces "lock" with a satisfying precision, progress is clear, and the design revealed by the finished puzzle is both satisfyingly detailed and really cute.
