Each door has one magnetic piece, such as the dog in the dog house, the bird in the bird cage, the cookies in the cookie jar, and so on. It's quite adorable. This puzzle is a big hit with my granddaughter.
The majority of their items, I believe, are manufactured in China.
One is for my grandson, and the other is for me. I didn't use it in the car, and I'm not planning on doing so in the future. Pieces may become dislodged, and if one falls to the seat or the floor, the child will be unable to retrieve it.

The adhesive design has a good grip on the surface. My purchase made me extremely happy. This toy is a big hit with my 14-month-old son. I had planned to remove the images behind each door until she was older and replace them with stickers because she is a chewer. Her favorite pastime is to take each item out and put it back in again and again. As a result, we play under the watchful eye of the authorities. br>Those in need of replacement images or image alternatives should look for magnets of similar size and shape (www. amzn. www. amazon. com/B07BXM5ZPT) or stickers (www. amazon. com/B07BXM5ZPT). amzn. B004OFBY7K (http://www. amazon. com/B004OFBY7K). br>Right now, I'm saving the original images for when she's older and using the magnets mentioned above, which I don't mind if they get damaged or lost.
My 14-month-old grandson enjoyed opening the doors and removing the magnets, but he has lost interest in the board after a few days. Most of the magnets are worthless. He was immediately enamored with the cookie magnet and wanted to "eat" it by pretending to bite it and placing it in his mouth. It's big enough that he couldn't fit everything in, but the magnet's sticker started peeling off almost immediately. The majority of the stickers on the magnets were probably chipped and worn off within two days. It appears to be a complete disaster. Furthermore, they are easily misplaced, which I believe is partly due to his advanced age. The board and magnets might be better for a two-and-a-half-year-old, but they're not great for a 14-month-old. I would have returned it if we hadn't accidentally ruined it by washing the cookies in the dishwasher.
This puzzle/toy is one of my favorites. Have a child who is obsessed with the words "open" and "close"? I don't have to worry about her putting pressure on the hinges because she pushes on the door while it's open because it folds all the way back to rest on the board. I do have a concern about the hinges' durability; they appear to wiggle a little. Because the puzzle pieces are magnetic, they are less likely to be lost. By rotating these pieces out and replacing them with other magnets (perhaps even with family photos), the magnetic feature allows me to keep things interesting for her.
This one is also available in a farm version. Because my toddler is obsessed with them, I purchased this one as well. To be honest, it's a decent toy for the money. Yes, it isn't the high-quality wood that we all prefer, but it isn't bad either. Rough play will quickly degrade the paint and decal, so I'd recommend getting it for either a young child who doesn't play rough or put things in his mouth, or an older child who does. Small children who put things in their mouth should avoid this. Advantages: br>br> You have a variety of options for how you want to proceed. Play games like hide-and-seek or make up a story. The colors are vibrant, and it's a fun toy for my toddler to play with. br>br>Contrary to popular belief, there are a number of disadvantages to using this product. The wood is of poor quality, and the pieces occasionally become stuck, but only slightly. The puzzle may come with a splitter, so please inspect them upon arrival before handing them over to your child, or they may suffer a wound.
In my private practice, I use this door puzzle to work on fine motor skills on a regular basis. skills in cognition and language as well as an introduction to puzzles. Opening the doors to find a magnet related to the picture on each door appears to keep young toddlers occupied for hours. Although small fingers can remove the magnets, I usually start by having them practice opening each door so the magnetic pieces don't get misplaced. - It's a twist on the classic "Peek-A-Boo" game. "Boo" is a memory-based game. I am talking about language. "Can you tell me where the dog is?" says the narrator. Oh, look! It's the canine! Woof, Woof, Woof, Woof, Woof, Woof, Wo It's a bit more of a memory challenge to put each piece back in its proper place so it "grows" with the child's abilities once they've figured out how to take the pieces out. The pieces can be replaced without having to fit each one perfectly, which makes it an excellent first puzzle. especially for kids who find it difficult to get the orientation just right, and there's no choking hazard!.
This puzzle was first used in my daughter's occupational theory to improve her fine motor skills and dexterity. We bought one for her because she enjoyed it so much. Our daughter can now open all of the doors quickly, remove the magnets, and name the items inside (e. g. "Treasure," "nom nom," and "woof woof" are just a few examples. I can see it becoming tedious for some children who find it to be an overly simple activity (and my daughter isn't always interested in it), but if you're looking to help your child with fine motor skills, it can be beneficial.
And he is enamored with it. He takes the pieces out of all the little doors and tries to find the right one so they can return. He's figured out what they are and how to get rid of them. I've been using it for this purpose for weeks, and he and I both enjoy it. When he was 15 months old, I purchased it for him. He could open the doors, but he wasn't interested in doing so. He had no idea what I was talking about. 18 months is, in my opinion, the ideal age for this.
I'm generally picky when it comes to the toys I purchase for my toddler. I steer clear of ineffective passive toys that quickly bore children. This toy is a fantastic developmental toy that helps toddlers develop their memory and focus by teaching them to associate objects with them. As a 30-year pediatric nurse, I can confidently state that this toy promotes neurological growth and development!.
