 Not great for use with children October 31, 2004

I bought this puzzle for my kids last year. It's beautiful, and the pieces are nice and large, but the pieces sit next to one another and don't connect like a normal puzzle. My children - ages 8 and 6 - who love puzzles, were frustrated by the fact that the pieces kept moving while trying to put it together.

The puzzle needs a cardboard backing to insert the pieces. The pieces are warped and they do not stay together. This puzzle is very difficult to put together with out a backing.

I'm going to get this for my nieces. I think the comment about the puzzle not fitting together was not the proper comment. Jigsaw puzzles are those in which you are speaking of, because they have the irregular shapes that fit nicely together in most cases. Puzzles are not all jigsaw. Just a little reminder.
This is a great learning tool February 8, 2006

My husband and I bought this puzzle for my 2.5 year old for Christmas. After a few times of helping her put the puzzle together she now can do it by herself. I agree with other reviews about having them cut on state lines, it's a great learning tool! My daughter ( who is not even three yet) knows all the states and it working on learning the capitals. We point out where all our family lives and what states we have to go through to visit them. She can put it together and take it apart time after time, and after many times of doing this it still is in great shape. I would recommend this toy to anyone who wants a fun way to teach their little ones about the U.S.

I agree with the person who said it needs a cardboard backing or border. Since the puzzle is so large and it doesn't interlock, the pieces move when my son adds a state which makes him angry--he is not yet 3. I have to hold down the pieces when he adds the states and if I'm not available to help he gets frustrated. In addition, because some of the pieces are so large (oceans and texas) they tend to warp more than Doug and Melissa's other floor puzzles.
The puzzle's saving grace is my son has learned all states in a week.
