 Not the same qualityDec 12, 2008
By MommaB3
I tried to edit the number of stars I had originally given this product. I had ordered previously the "Farm" chunky puzzle... I loved it. Each piece was hand painted, completely, and has exceptional quality. SO, for Christmas I ordered her 3 more... BUT, they aren't made the same. These puzzles (Sea Life, Safari, and Pets) are NOT painted. They simply have stickers slapped on the front. The sides and underneath are completely unfinished. As a result, after my toddler playing with them for only 6 weeks, they are starting to peel apart. The first PAINTED puzzle is 2 years old, and still in GREAT shape. I am really disappointed that these 3 were made so much more cheaply.

 Pieces are not paintedDec 12, 2009
By A. Callan
I love the concept behind Melissa and Doug toys. Non-toxic paints. Wood products. A little more natural and a little better for the environment. We have the fish bowl that my 16 month old son absolutely loves. The fish bowl has been great and holds up well to his 16 month actions. This puzzle was a real disappointment. The pieces are covered in stickers,not painted and I keep pulling wet sticker paper from his mouth. It's really colorful and I love the concept behind teaching him about sea creatures but this puzzle is just too poor of quality.

Not As Pictured & Poor QualityMar 05, 2010
By Three Boys Now
"Mommy2Boys"
Although Amazon shipped this much quicker than I expected, it is not what was pictured nor what Melissa & Doug used to sale. I have a number of Melissa & Doug puzzles that are painted on ALL sides. The older puzzles are made of real wood and feel much nicer than this pressed board crap. They are also cut to the image where the newer puzzles are mere outlines, haphazardly thrown together. I would have promptly returned this puzzle, but my 19 month old son really loves puzzles and saw this and the other 2 puzzles as they were coming out of the box. I cannot believe that these cost the same amount or more than the other puzzles we own, yet they are of such an inferior quality that I cannot believe the are trying to pawn it off as the same thing they used to sale. Shame on you Melissa & Doug.

Lots of funMar 10, 2008
By Melissa Brown
My 22-month-old has loved doing puzzles for 1/2 year now. He received several Melissa and Doug's chunky puzzles for Christmas and loves to play with them. My only complaint on this particular puzzle is the starfish is difficult to get in. He sometimes whines when he can't get it to fit. There is only one correct way to put it in despite the appearance that it would fit in many ways. Several other moms have commented on how they don't like that starfish piece when they have helped me clean up after playgroup.

Cute toy but poor qualityDec 21, 2007
By E. Bender
"Cellochick"
My 16 month old son recieved this toy for Christmas from his Grandmother. As soon as we took the wrapping off he began playing with it which we took to be a good sign. Unfortunately, as soon as he started dropping pieces on the floor the paint began chipping. By the end of the first day we had this toy at least half the pieces have rather large chunks of paint missing. Even if it isn't toxic I still don't want him exposed to chipping paint.
In general, we have had this problem with every Melissa and Doug toy we own. Our son loves them but the paint chips very easily. I love the concept of these toys but they have some serious quality issues that need to be addressed. I will be contacting the manufacturer directing about replacing this puzzle.
