- Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2016Bought this and a few other Melissa & Doug puzzles for my 2 year old. He was sitting along side me as we did some online "puzzle" shopping, and this "fishy" one caught his attention the most. So in the shopping cart it went! Fast forward 2 days later.. Shipping was quick and it arrived in great condition. As I was unpacking it, my 2 year old immediately smiled and became interested. Each individual fish is solid and chunky but not heavy, perfect for little hands. He enjoyed naming the colors as they were being placed in. This would be a good one for 18mth- 3 year olds, as my 5 year old only seemed mildly interested. A nice simple little puzzle. I would definitely recommend.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2021Perfect for kids less than 3 . Chewable and very sturdy. The colors are vibrant and perfect for little hands . Very sturdy wood piece . Highly safe for kids who likes to chew everything. It is not like the other melisa and dough peg puzzle in which the stickers peals off in one day. A little costly for me but it is really worth it.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2022The media could not be loaded.
The only thing I didn’t like about it. The red and orange fishes are close together. As you can see in the video the orange fish is darker than the photo . It might confuse a toddler.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2021Great product. I love the quality that Melissa and Doug toys always have. My son is learning colors and he loves fish so this is a win win. He’s only 2 and knows most primary colors and he is doing well with the matching and puzzle aspect of it. It is a great learning tool. I highly recommend for helping teach toddlers their colors.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2020The fish are a good size and weight for little hands to manipulate, and the depth of the board spaces is perfect for sliding them in without overcorrecting. A lot of others puzzles are more shallow so the pieces don’t thunk into place very satisfyingly and my toddler will keep wiggling the pieces around. The fish are also good for stacking, and are thick enough to balance on their edges. The only problem is the paint will rub away when being cleaned, and the corners are starting to show wear after a few months of heavy toddler use, but they are one of the favorite toys. Colors remain bright, and I’m going to try using beeswax to seal them between cleanings.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2019This does better if you spray a protective layer on it rather than not. Mine has gotten scuffed up a good bit but is still a great toy. It's great to teach colors, quantities, and easy to carry around. I fully intend to buy more similar puzzles from this company. I use mine as a material for speech therapy and it withstands being stood on, thrown, kicked, etc.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2023Love these fish. My niece is a hurricane and this puzzle is not exempt from the war path. Been thrown and bashed against things and overall still nice. The board hasn't bowed and the fish havent cracked or chipped but the paint is rubbing off the edges. Still a great puzzle we have a lot of fun playing with before the hurricane starts back up.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2020My son LOVES THIS PUZZLE. He’s into fish right now and this puzzle is perfect. It’s got nice sturdy pieces that he can grip onto and the colors are nice and vibrant. I especially love that the color is written on the spaces so they know how to SPELL the colors while they learn the colors themselves. The pieces fit well and are made well. It was a great buy!
