Web ID: 518124Where does your young one live?
We have family all over the US so bought this for our grandson. He now knows where all his relatives live and wants to get a plane to visit them. Great gift idea. Melissa and Doug puzzles are always a hit.
Pieces move.
State puzzle pieces are thinner than the border; they slide under the border pieces

Great teaching tool
This is a very fun, sturdy puzzle. We will be able to use it for many years. There are many learning opportunities to take advantage of while constructing this puzzle as well!

I would not buy this product again!
Some of the states are not shaped correctly! I'm not sure how you all even thought these shapes were acceptable! Just terrible!

Terrible state representations
This map is not an accurate representation of state shapes, particularly the delmarva peninsula, which encompasses delaware maryland and Virginia. Delawares shape and placement is completely wrong. My kids were disappointed to see their state so poorly portrayed.

Their First Whole Country
My 4-year-old granddaughter is still trying to understand about maps, Alaska and Hawaii. She likes the puzzle but needs to grow into it a bit more. Her 6-yr old sister got it put together quickly. It is a big set of nicely-printed on heavy cardboard, 50 states, with enough bright blue ocean around to help set up the perimeter. It comes in a nice strong box, easy to throw everything in, put the top on it and shelve it. The pieces are big -- California is as long as my forearm, inner elbow to inner wrist. The pieces are brightly, primary-colored with state name, one (capital) city, and one picture of special state attribute. ( By second grade kids will be able to read state names and maybe quiz each other on state icons.) Texas and California get two. Vermont to Connecticut haven't room of aught but capital city. Utah is a skier and Nevada has a snake despite some of the most spectacular rock formations and gorges but, hey. It is a perfect beginner USA puzzle, and it is 3' x 2' -- big. It will last and the pieces have a good chance of staying together in that strong box. It is a very quiet toy. See if the adults can do it first, or the kids will lose interest.

DOES NOT STAY TOGETHER
We love Melissa & Doug products. I love how much the boys learn from THIS puzzle. I HATE how it falls apart with the tiniest touches. I understand making the pieces the actual shapes of the states and that it won't fit together perfectly, but the frame itself with normal puzzle pieces is warped and will not hold in place. We have placed heavy things over it for multiple days, multiple times to try and flatten it and it has not fixed it. I just have to throw it away.
