Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug Solar System 48 pcs Floor Puzzle
Customer Review: Great fun! An educational toy your child will love!
Summary: 5 Stars
This puzzle is very sturdy; not as bendy as most puzzles. My daughter loves putting this puzzle together. She is five and we are learning about the Solar System. I like this toy because after you put it together you can quiz your child on Solar system facts. Ask your child to point out which planet is the largest (Jupiter...although in this puzzle they make earth look larger because of the perspective)Ask him/her which planet is the smallest, which planet is closest to the sun...etc...etc...the learning never ends! There are always new solar system facts you can add into your fun! I strongly recommend this toy as a fun learning tool for you and your child. I really love all the Melissa and Doug products.Customer Review: The sky is the limit
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this product as a gift for our four-year old grandson. So glad we did!
As always, we appreciate the sturdiness and durability, as well as the vivid colors and clear images of a Melissa and Doug product.
We also appreciate the big puzzle pieces for our little guy's hands that are still working on dexterity. He is fascinated with the night sky and now knows that he has more to learn about what he has seen -- and not yet seen - there. In addition, we can use this puzzle to help with counting and colors in "can you find it" style.
A great value and the sky's the limit in terms of how your child can learn from it!
Customer Review: Great puzzle and very well made!
Summary: 5 Stars
My grandson who is 28 months took a liking to the solar system. Knows all the planets names and in order of closest to the sun. So when we got him this he was just into it from the get go. Although he is slightly too young to complete the entire puzzle himself he loves looking for the pieces to all the specific planets as he goes. With some help he completes it and is very happy about it. He usually sits or stands on the puzzle while doing it and the puzzle takes the abuse. I must say it is beautifully done, colorful and detailed. Would highly recommend it to any children who take an interest in the Solar system, planets or any puzzle for that matter.Customer Review: Great Graphics...Poor Substance
Summary: 2 Stars
Melissa and Doug created a puzzle that has magnificent art work. It is sturdy and durable. Yet, it lacks educational value. Let me explain. Most of us learned the solar system from the Sun to Pluto. This puzzle places the moon first and does not have a Pluto. Imagine my awkwardness in explaining to my child that there are 9 planets in the solar system, but Pluto is no where on the puzzle. How embarrassing. Plus the geocentric view of self that has been promoted is not good either. Look carefully at Solar System puzzles before buying. This puzzle is not worth the price if you are looking to educate your children.Customer Review: Great Floor Puzzle
Summary: 5 Stars
This puzzle, like other (e.g., Farm Friends, Tyrannosaurus Rex, etc.) Melissa & Doug floor puzzles that I have purchased for my son, is colorful, large, and well-made. I originally purchased many of the puzzles for my first-born son when he was four, and now four years later, its wonderful to see my now eight year old son help his four year old brother assemble the puzzles. I recommend them because they have stood the test of time, provide entertainment for my sons, and are educational. My four year old knows many of the planets thanks to this puzzle (and to the planets hanging from the ceiling in his brother's room).
