My 3 y/o grandson loves these puzzles. He puts them together over and over. He loved this one so much I purchased two others. Puzzles help develop fine motor skills, patience, and problem-solving abilities, all while being entertaining. The pieces fit nicely back into the included tray and if the pieces get mixed up there’s a corresponding shape on the back to easily sort.

These puzzles are so sturdy and the size of the pieces are perfect for little hands. The colors are bright and my little one had so much fun playing with his puzzles.

Great puzzles for preschoolers. They aren’t too difficult with 12 pieces per puzzle. I appreciate how they have the different puzzles marked with shapes to sort them but I wish they box was constructed differently so each puzzle is separately lidded. My child likes to dump the box when he wants to do puzzles and I have to help him sort them before he can start.

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2016
My son is 4 and he's getting really into jigsaw puzzles (the step up from the puzzles with a picture underneath or a shape cutout). We have probably 8 Melissa and Doug puzzles, and while we like some better than others, they're all very well made and fun. This set of 4 is no exception! Here's what's great about it:

- Quailty. That's something I've come to rely on with Melisa and Doug and they don't disappoint with this one. I would say it's a small step down in terms of quality from some of their others, but really, for the price you pay, what you get is really great! The wood box is well made, the pieces are not flimsy and the pictures don't peel up at the corners of the pieces like many puzzles.
- FOUR PUZZLES in ONE SMALL BOX! My boy is obsessed with vehicles (particularly trains) so this was perfect. This set has a train, a fire truck, a school bus and a race car. Little boy heaven.
- Easy enough and with few enough pieces that my 4 year old (who also happens to be autistic and gets easily frustrated and gives up when things are too hard) can do these with little help.
- Probably my favorite part about this puzzle is something I was stressing about from the moment I saw it. I was envisioning my boy dumping ALL the pieces out at once and me having a horrible time trying to sort which piece goes with which picture and in which compartment. Fortunately the clever people at Melissa and Doug thought of that and put a different red shape on the back of every single puzzle piece so you can easily figure out which go together based which have a circle, which have a square etc. That actually makes for fun clean up because it involves sorting! Nice work M&D!
- The lid also serves as a removable puzzle building frame with plenty of room to work. While these puzzles can easily be assembled without the backing (as long as you're doing it on a hard surface like the table or wood floor), it's nice to have that feature.
- Portability! There are very few activities that our son enjoys that don't involve noise. The few toys we have that can keep him occupied for a while are precious and even fewer of them are portable. This is a very small box and is something that would easily fit in a backpack or diaper bag as long as the diaper bag isn't overly full. I have one word: church. We take this to church and let the boy go to town at our feet with these puzzles in front of the pew. People can judge away, but the fact that we're even there each week with an autistic 4 year old is a miracle and takes some serious dedication, haha!

All in all I think these are darling little puzzles, perfect for a 4 year old (or 2 or 3 year old depending on how much of a puzzle prodigy they are)! See my pics for an idea of what they all look like put together and also next to another Melissa and Doug jigsaw puzzle that is bigger and was sold individually.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product, great company
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2019
The puzzles are smaller than I expected, but just right for my 3 year old grandson. The puzzle pieces are wooden and come in a wooden box with a slide lid. All of the pieces for the 4 puzzles are in the box, each with its own section to keep them somewhat separated. On the back of the puzzle pieces is a stamped shape that identifies which pieces belong to which puzzle in case they get mixed up. There isn't a picture of the completed puzzle for the little ones to follow when putting it together except for the ones on the cellophane wrapper so you may want to keep it. I helped my grandson put it together the first time and he quickly caught on to what the vehicle was supposed to be after that. Very satisfied with the product's colors, construction, and storage unit. I love Melissa and Doug toys.
We were putting the puzzles together 2 days before Christmas and one puzzle was missing a piece. I contacted Amazon and they immediately sent a replacement to us, allowing us 30 days to return the one that we had. With it being so close to Christmas I really didn't expect the replacement to get to my house in time for gift giving. I was pleasantly surprised to have the replacement the very next day and my little one was able to open it on Christmas day. Thank you to everyone involved in this replacement that made a little boy very happy Christmas morning.

I bought this for my 3 year old to play with while she is recovering from surgery. It will keep her entertained for a while. I like that it has 4 options.
