A must have toy
This is a great puzzle. I’ve purchased it 3 times in the last 15 years. Not because I needed to replace it, but because I always thought I was done having kids andvgave it away when my child grew out of it. Melissa and Doug toys are made to last. Some of them could even be heirloom quality. It does make animal noises when you shut off a light. My toddler laughs every time. She loves farm animals and this puzzle is perfect. It helps teach farm animal noises and is educational.

I’m Actually an Idiot
Updating my review from one star to five because lo and behold, it was user error. I thought the puzzle was activated by magnets/metal, not light. I read the back more clearly and realized I’m just a big dummy. The puzzle works great in bright natural light and my 14 month-old daughter (who is clearly smarter than me) is absolutely obsessed with it.*(Original review)* I’m normally a big Melissa & Doug fan. Within an hour of opening this item (a Christmas gift for my daughter), the puzzle stopped making sounds when placing pieces. For a little while it made random sounds (not matching the animal), now it does nothing. I tried replacing the batteries, and it moos when you switch it on, but that’s all.Seller wouldn’t let me exchange for a new one.

Little bit pricey but itâs a fun toy
Good for the motor skill. My toddler likes it. Itâs a good starter puzzle because it makes sounds.

Fun
These puzzles are really fun for toddlers but please keep in mind that the sound is light activated, so if its not in a brightly lit room the sound wont work.

Simple toddler puzzle for introductory animal sound learning. THERE IS AN ON/OFF SWITCH.
These Melissa & Doug style puzzles are a hit in our house. They are great introductory puzzles to help little hands learn manipulation of objects and the sounds make things more engaging.As a learning toy, they are appropriate for younger toddlers, but can still be enjoyable and entertaining for older toddlers. In our house, the near 2-year-old is learning how to place the pieces and is learning the sounds of each animal. (It’s nice to have sounds beyond just the basics. Sure, they learn the farm animal sounds from Old MacDonald, but this gives us a bit more variety…which is REALLY nice when you have toddlers who like to repeat things ad nauseum ALL. DAY. LONG.We own THREE of the puzzles in this collection: vehicles, zoo, and farm. I would love to review them separately, as I would give two out of the three a 5-star rating. As it is, I have to give it a 4-star for a MINOR issue. This is purely due to some construction error in the particular piece we own. For some reason, our zebra is mildly haunted and will occasionally make sounds randomly if the puzzle is left unattended on a table. This is the only piece out of the three puzzles that does this and it doesn’t happen all the time, so I just shrug it off. Especially since THERE IS AN ON/OFF SWITCH on the back. (Thank you ever so much to the designers who put that in…some days I need a few sound-free minutes.) Another reviewer commented that you couldn’t play the puzzle in silent mode. For all of the versions we own, this is not the case. I can switch those babies off at any time.There is a small sound delay when placing multiple pieces, so you won’t hear the sound of a second piece until after the sound from the first piece finishes. This can be a little frustrating for toddlers on initial use, but I’ve found that it helps them learn patience. A few times playing with these puzzles and they quickly learn the quirks. It’s totally a nonissue for us.So…other than our poltergeist zebra, I give these puzzles a huge thumbs up. And hey…if you need a little extra surprise in your day, maybe random animal sounds can just add to your ambiance. For our house, these will get plenty of miles and I am very happy that we have them in our toddler puzzle collection.

Great quality
So cute! The quality is amazing as usual with Melissa and Doug toys, my girl is going to have so much fun with it when she opens it for her birthday! She already has one she was gifted!

READ the DIRECTIONS ðð
Melissa and Doug have proven their worth over & over again!Note to perspective buyers. Puzzle must be played in good over head light. I put batteries in & checked to see if the sound worked. My living room is not very bright so it only kind of worked. Operator error ð I READ the directions ð, moved to my BRIGHT kitchen and the sound is crystal clear!I can not say enough about Melissa and Doug products â¤ï¸

Good toy
Good toy for my toddler. Liked the design and size of the animals. Although it was really easy to lose the animals. And sometimes if it is still turned on, and an animal is missing, it would make the sound when just walking by.

Our 2.5 year old is obsessed with trains so when we get his this he was sooooo excited about it. He’s had it for a few months now and still loves using it!

Sometimes the sound is loud, and at times it’s too low. I didn’t wish to get into the return hassle hence kept the product. You can easily let go this one

A ideia do produto é muito legal, mas na prática não funcionou. O produto parou de emitir som no dia seguinte que chegou.
