granddaughter loves the planets and knows all their names. so perfect.
This is perfect for my 4 year old who is beyond board puzzles, but not quite ready for tiny puzzles. She needs some help with framing it up, but she can do most of it independently.

My kid loves this floor puzzle. It’s a jumbo floor puzzle and he can see the different planets. It’s easy enough to put together where he can put it together himself (he’s 3yo)

We love all of Melissa and Doug’s toys but especially their puzzles! They are such good quality and the pieces are pretty thick so they last a very long time.
Confusing

The way that the puzzle is pictured, confuses my child on the order of the planets from the sun. On the puzzle, it is viewing it from the moon, causing Neptune to look as close to the sun as Mercury. Very hard explaining that to my 4 year old.

Not a good visual cover presentation to use as a guide

There is NO big picture for a child to see the full image! The package is just covered in promotion for the puzzle. Part of the image actually wraps around the sides - which makes it difficult to use as a visual guide. Very hard for a kid who likes to do puzzles and refer to the total image. Very frustrating - has been dismissed as not fun to do. There are a couple of small total images on the front & sides which are confusing with all the writing and other material that a kid could care less about!

My granddaughter loves the planets. She can name them in order and knows about each one. She is now in pre-school and they send random pictures throughout the day as to what the children are doing . One photo she was putting a puzzle together. I thought how awesome to put her love for The Planets in Puzzle form. This is Perfect.
Great Puzzle

6 year old enjoyed putting this puzzle together. It was not too simple or too hard. It’s a plus bc he likes to study and learn about space. Occupied his time. Will be a good hand me down too.
