 These are real good for kidsJul 28, 2005
By KS
I bought this for my niece who is 5 yrs old.
Pros:It is big and easy to organize and read the letters and the board itself is thick enough that it will not get torn apart by kids easily.
Cons: It lists only continents and not countries.For the size it is, it would have been better if it listed countries.

 I wouldn't buy it again.Jul 22, 2007
By lisam5305@yahoo.com
This is a nice, big puzzle with large pieces. The thing I mainly don't like is that only a few of the pieces are jigsaw-type (interlocking), the majority are just slide-together. This is very frustrating to my two children because the puzzle is always moving around and the pieces constantly have to be repositioned. I wish the country names had been included, but it's also nice to keep it simple for the very young child who just might want to learn the continents. I paid a lot more for this puzzle than what is being asked here, and I would not buy it again. Melissa and Doug also makes a wooden world map puzzle, which might be better.

Great floor puzzle, but continent divide of Asia and Europe not correctJun 04, 2009
By Melissa J. Newman
"msolomon25"
I love this puzzle. We use it as a puzzle, and I am now using it to have the kids trace it to learn about the continents. Cons: The divide between Europe and Asia is by the political borders, not the physical borders of the mountains. Pros: (some view it as a con). The pieces of the puzzle are by the shape of the continents, not a jigsaw puzzle. It is a pro if the shape of the continents is most important. It is a con in that the pieces do not stay together. Also, the piece right below South America is very thin (width wise), so it broke in half. This also contributes to the pieces not staying together. The only solution would be to make the overall height of the puzzle bigger, because obviously we can't change the size of South America. Pro: the puzzle is just continents. Some people have said that they would want countries as well. Although, I would not have a problem if Melissa and Doug created another version of this puzzle with countries, I do hope that it would be an additional product and never a replacement of this product. Sometimes kids need to see the world by continents and sometimes by country. It would depend on the age of the child and what is being taught.

 awfulJan 10, 2010
By Paul Gehrman
I generally love Melissa and Doug products, but this puzzle is absolutely awful. The pieces simply don't fit together well and my five year old got extremely frustrated (and so did I!). There are much better puzzles out there compared to this one.

Nice Puzzle, Odd ShapesJun 07, 2010
By Hausfrau
My mother bought this puzzle for my six year old. It is very durable. The only drawback is that the pieces are not traditional lock and key puzzle pieces. They have rounded edges that fit next to each other but don't lock in place like traditional puzzles. It was a little more difficult to put together. He still enjoyed it.
