5 out of 5 stars Nice Puzzle for 4 Year Olds   February 8, 2002
21 out of 23 found this review helpful

My 4 year old daughter loves anything that has to do with dinosaurs. There are 4 small puzzles inside the wooden box. The puzzle pieces are small and when fully assembled, each puzzle is small. The puzzles are made of wood and the storage box is made of wood. It is very durable and doesn't take up much room to store. My daughter enjoys playing with the puzzles, but she does need some help putting them together. If you don't mind assisting your child with putting the puzzles together, I would recommend buying this item. Otherwise, wait until they are at least 5 years old so that they can put the puzzles together all by themselves.


5 out of 5 stars Great little puzzles   March 3, 2003

We have 3 different sets of these puzzle boxes and my 3 1/2 year old loves them ALL. He is very quick with puzzles and he likes to do all four in the box before he takes them apart. Since all the part are made of wood, these hold up well. We have never had a product from this company that we were not very pleased with. The little stamped shapes on the back make sorting out the different puzzles quick and easy.


5 out of 5 stars A great product   June 13, 2001

My son has several of the lights, camera, interaction boxed puzzles, and loves them all! They have well chosen themes to appeal to young children. Every effort has been made to simplify sorting and storing these puzzles. The sturdy wooden box is segregated into four compartments, one for each puzzle and each puzzle has a simple symbol on the back of the pieces to identify it. The pieces themselves are durable for for the rough treatment young children inflict upon puzzles. My only slight criticism of the puzzles is the pictures of the completed puzzles are on the side of the box and are very small, making it a little tricky for children doing the puzzles forthe first time.


5 out of 5 stars Fun and Durable   May 20, 2004

These are just great. Four 12-piece puzzles made out of very durable materials (see Pros below). The sturdy wooden box has four compartments under a sliding lid. Each of the four puzzles are theme related. These four are Triceratpos, Stegasaurus, Pteranodon, and Allosaurus.

Pros:
Easy but not too-easy puzzles.
Pieces fit well together.
Nice pictures.
Sturdy container.
Each puzzle has a different shape printed on the back to make sorting the puzzles easier.
Super durable. I did not realize just how durable they were until I found a piece in my dishwasher. Even after being washed the picture was fine and the wood in perfect condition.

Cons:
It may take a few moments to figure out how to fit an entire puzzle's pieces in a single compartment.
Lid does not lock closed.

My kids love these and you will too.


5 out of 5 stars Dinosaur puzzles turn into a game..   January 30, 2003

8 out of 9 found this review helpful

The sturdy wooden pieces of this puzzle are great for my 4 and 5 year olds. (It didn't damage the puzzle when pieces were put together wrong). The three of us sit together on the floor rotating each puzzle until completed.We talk about the dinosaurs and help each other put the puzzles together. This toy keeps us busy and it's fun to "play" puzzles. Believe it or not it's as fun to put away - each individual puzzle has a differnt shape on the back of each piece. You can turn the pieces over and collect all of the circles, diamonds, squares, and triangles then put them in their own spot in the wooden container The pictures of dinosaurs are great. Fun every time we play!
