 Good productMay 31, 2008
This product is pretty good quality. It's made of heavy cardboard and the puzzle pieces fit together well. My daughter, who turns 1 in a couple of weeks, has fun staring at the pictures and tossing the pieces around. Her favorite is actually the box that the pieces are supposed to be stored in. She carries the empty box all over the house. She likes the yarn that makes up the box handle. I'm sure we'll get more use out of the puzzle pieces once she's older.
One thing I felt was misleading- there are not many "texture" pieces. The title of this product is "matching colors and textures", but out of 20 pairs, only 4 have texture. For the child, though, this will not matter-- it's just that I expected there to be more (at least 10 out of 20) textures.

 Color/texture puzzleMay 24, 2008
I thought my son (18 months)would like this more than he has shown an interest so far. I think he will like it when he is a few more months older. I was a little disappointed in the textures but I still like the concept of the puzzle.

Neat puzzle!Feb 07, 2008
This is a great puzzle. My 16 month old got it for her 1st birthday, and she has always loved hauling it out of the box and playing with the sturdy pieces, but now it is making more sense to her. The only problem is that the pieces do not stay together well on carpet, but she just hands them to me to put together anyway. Probably will get more fun after 18 months or so.

Good educational productNov 19, 2007
I like the concept of this product, how you can match the color or the texture of the object. My 16-month-old son doesn't quite get the matching part yet. But I'm teaching him the names of the colors and the animal. One suggestion for product improvement - make them out of plastic or other more dueable material. My sons likes to chew on the puzzle pieces...

Fun,educational and quiet!Oct 30, 2007
My daughter has plenty of toys with fancy lights and sounds that consume tons of batteries so I wanted something quiet. This toy was a good choice. I bought this puzzle when my daughter was 12 months old. She didn't start playing with it until 20 months. She now plays with it almost every day. Sometimes 2-3 times a day.
While she can match more than half of the puzzles at 21 months, she still cannot put the two matched pieces together. When she finds a match, she hands the two pieces to me and I put them together. I reinforce the educational aspect of toy by playing with her. I lay out all of the pieces on the floor and ask her to look for the black cat, yellow banana, beautiful butterfly, etc. When she finds a match, I praise her by clapping my hands. This encourages her to continue to play.
The box itself is also a fun game for my daughter. She's constantly trying to close the flaps and stick that one fish puzzle through the open slit. The box is also well made and has endured lots of pulling and tugging from the toy bin.
I only gave it four stars because this is a "two player" game. My daughter rarely plays with this puzzle by herself.
