Melissa & Doug Deluxe Mix 'n Match Peg Puzzle Bundle

With these Mix n Match puzzles, match the puzzle pieces to their correct spot, or mix them up to form your own creation! Set of 3 puzzles. Styles may vary.

I was looking for wooden puzzles for my daughter when I stumbled across these. They looked colorful and fun. I read the reviews, and saw one that said the pieces were all the same shape. Looking at the picture of the puzzle, I didn't understand that comment, the animals all looked like different shapes and sizes to me. Once we received the puzzles, I understood. The removable pieces are all little half-arch shaped pieces, and the majority of the animal is not removable. The only part that removes are the back legs, so to speak, of the animals, and the cabs on the vehicles.

They are still functional and maybe they could inspire some creativity by pairing the wrong legs with wrong animals, but it definitely wasn't what I was looking for. For the good price, it isn't worth returning as my daughter will play with it, but I wouldn't reccommend them to a friend.

This is a nice wood puzzle set that is well done for the price. Some of the pegs have broken off but I guess that is to be expected over time.

My granddaughter is only 20 months so maybe that is part of the problem but I was disappointed in that the puzzle pieces that come out are only half of the picture and that seems kind of weird. She is not interested in playing with it. I guess the point is to match the halves that come out to the halves that are permanently in the puzzle but that was not what I intended to buy and I wish it had been more clear about that.

We bought this combination package of mix-and-match puzzles for our niece, who is just over a year old. As with most Melissa and Doug products, it is sturdy, brightly colored, and easy for young hands to manipulate. And what a reasonable price -- these puzzles are $10-15 EACH in our local bookstores.

We love the mix-and-match idea. She can learn first how to put the puzzle pieces into any opening. Then, she'll eventually find a new challenge with this same toy when she grasps the concept of matching the color and design. Essentially, two puzzles in one for each of these!

Gotta say, I was tempted to open it and play with it myself! ;-)

These puzzles are great and colorful. They are nice because I was able to separate the pack of individually wrapped puzzles to give each one as separate gifts. My 2 year old really enjoys her puzzle. My friend's daughter also really enjoys her puzzle. Great price for these puzzles!!
