Melissa & Doug Farm Animals Jumbo Knob Wooden Puzzle

The nursery school teacher in me loves discovering fun and educational games for children, especially my nephew, whose younger sister I care for. My review can be found below The pros Please note It is amazing how the letters are accompanied by graphics. The second brother of my 5) was delighted to receive this letter. Please note The entertainment is sufficient however, the cons are as follows Please note There is not enough depth in the puzzle piece hole to hold the puzzle piece in place. A few puzzle pieces pop out of their slots as my nephew slides his hand across the puzzle to find the letter. Please note A hand placed above any of the sensors will trigger the sound sensor, so there is too much sensitivity. Please note A puzzle piece being placed in it makes a rather soft sound that is a bit annoying, which will upset some people. The Apple logo "is Please note The use of it can be challenging for children who do not know the alphabet by sight. Children of 2 years old, for instance, are unlikely to know what a vine is or what a If the choice was a violin or queen, it would have been a better one. It would also be useful to use the following X- The xylophone starts with a "z" sound, even though it starts with an x. The letters can be pronounced differently, which is very confusing for children just learning their Earlier this year, I bought this puzzle for about $9 in a lightning deal. It would not be worth much more to me than that.

'And randomly calls out a letter (out of the 5 it is calling As long as it works, I'm cool with it. I'm sorry, but it's not possible. Melissa and Doug aren't like the other Melissa and Dougs.

As a result of some pieces being lost on our original one, we had to purchase a second Contacted Melissa to find out what was going on inquired to purchase replacement letters, but became frustrated when they told him that they did not sell them separately because each board is handcrafted to fit the specific letters you cut out. We can use them as they fit the same as our old board. It's a little annoying that Melissa and Laura don't appear to respect each other It is Doug's nature to lie in order to cause us to spend more money on their products.

He can use the knobs because they are large enough for To him, placing the animals on the board does not cause him any frustration. This is also a great resource to teach him the names for animals. A popular song that we play is 'Old McDonald had a farm'. It plays as each animal appears in the song and he points to them as they come. My toddler has handled it very well so far. It is very sturdy, has great quality, and has survived rough handling.

Since the knobs are easily accessible to my little one, I find this puzzle to be very appealing In spite of this, the puzzle comes apart within minutes of being used. The quality of the DVD was poor. This puzzle looks like it is made out My little one was just eating bits and pieces of the puzzle as they fell off (maybe this is what it is) so I had to take it away from her. It was a real disappointment. It may be more appropriate to recommend this item to.

As a first birthday gift to my own child, I gave her a magnetic board. It is no longer made that way. What I liked about this is that the holes for the letters are the same shape as the letters (that's what I wanted). In addition, the letters are made from thick wood that will last. They are also raised a bit so that they are easier to pick up from the board. This letter board speaks directly to children. (Both my friend and her sister were expecting their babies in the same month) were happy with the present they received for Christmas. Another one would be useful if I wanted to give it to This is where I can find At the age of three I often sat with my kids and read their names by using the letters they had picked out. It was then put back in the hat with the same name on it. Our game involved a team of players. As she got older, we took out the numbers 2, 3, etc. . She knew her letters before.

Having thoroughly read the reviews about this product, I highly recommend it. Despite the numerous negative reviews, I think this is a great learning tool for young preschoolers. My 3-year-old loved playing with one similar to this (no sound) at the library and asked for it for Christmas. Santa brought it to her and I wanted to let people know. The people were complaining about how annoying the puzzle was when it wasn't in use, and when something scanned over it, it started speaking to them. It is on a shelf with all of the letters in place and has never caused a problem for me. As long as you have every letter in place and the sensors are covered, everything will be As soon as my daughter is finished with the puzzle, I make sure to clean the pieces up so my 1 year old sister won't The issue has been resolved. The same complaint also occurs when a child attempts to insert a letter indicating the wrong letter to anywhere, despite the correct letter actually being inserted. The older child may realize where the letters in the words go anyway, but for my 3 year old, I make sure she reinforces the letters and sounds by putting them together while I supervise. For us, this practice has not proven Its score of four out of five stars is due to the poor voice clarity, which is why I do it with my daughter so she can hear the sounds in person and understand them better. I really like the quality of this puzzle and it's made well and feels sturdy. Melissa and Doug products are my favorites, and they will continue to be purchased by me. This is a product I would recommend without a doubt and I hope that this review is beneficial to you in making your purchase!.
