Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug Solar System 48 pcs Floor Puzzle
Customer Review: Colorful educational science puzzle for young children, worth having
Summary: 5 Stars
We have used this puzzle in tutoring two children. It is a great science lesson in simple astronomy. It was a kick-off for a deeper astronomy lesson for one 10 year old boy, and an introduction to the planets for a 7 year old. The 10 year old loves science and watches Science Channel every day. They both enjoyed the puzzle. It is a good puzzle, especially if you take time to explain to the children the planets, how they revolve around the sun, their position, why Pluto is no longer called a planet and so on.
The puzzle is colorful and durable. You can put it up, with glue, like a painting after you are done, for the children, or in their bedroom. It is a pretty picture. Also, as far as durability goes, you know if you lose one piece in the puzzle, it kind of messes the whole thing up. So, it is durable, so far as you care for the puzzle and make sure the pieces aren't lost.
Good investment. There are four or five similar puzzles by Melissa & Doug which are worth getting. You are better off to get four or five, if the children are around eight years old or as young as five. You would need to do it along with the five year old, but a nine year old should be able to accomplish it on his or her own.
These type of toys are an infinitely better children's gift than video games. Chock up on puzzles, nature videos, art supplies of all sorts, outdoor fun activity games, and you are much better prepared to raise a successful child, than loading him up with an ipod and video games.
