3 out of 5 stars Just ok   December 2, 2008

It would be ten times better if the darn puzzle wouldn't go off when I turned the lights off or on or sometimes even just walk by it. I ended up throwing the couple I had out!

This is one of my favorite puzzles. I do developmental therapies for children birth-3 and this puzzle is wonderful. The animal sounds made when the puzzle piece is correctly placed in the space encourage language development (children often will repeat/say animal sounds before words). Matching skills, labeling, and eye-hand coordination are also practiced. The puzzle is very sturdy. It would be nice if there was an off/on switch because of moo's in the middle of the night!

Good for the tiny tots to start learning their animal sounds. Easy for them to pick up and put back.


4 out of 5 stars Like it.   June 3, 2008

My daughter is 19 months old and is able to do this puzzle. She loves it. The sounds are a little off as far as what they should soung like and it makes noises in the middle of the night, when you turn a light on or off, or if you just touch the piece with your finger. But my daughter is really proud she is able to do it and uses it all the time. Im looking for more to buy right now. I would recommend


2 out of 5 stars Cute Idea somewhat poorly executed   January 17, 2008

4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Let me preface this by saying that I generally a big fan of Melissa and Doug toys, particularly in this time of toys of questionable safety, where Melissa and Doug shines as a leader (of safe toys, that is). I also am generally NOT a fan of noisy toys, but this seemed pretty harmless overall, and at least it only makes noise as pure cause and affect, not like many leapfrog and other toys, or so we thought. Like other reviewers, we have found it to go off on it's own because it works by photocell only on the puzzleboard side, rather than having a matching sensor in the puzzle pieces as well like some of their other toys. This is only mildly annoying (and only if the puzzle isn't put away!), and kind of funny. Especially hysterical is when the sun is going down and every couple minutes another one goes off, because each has a slightly different senstivity or angle from the sun. Definitely do not keep this in a child's room! Ultimately, I'd say this toy is a pass, but not very reflective of the overall good quality of the Melissa and Doug line.
