Melissa & Doug Lift & See Numbers Wooden Peg Puzzle - 10 Pieces - FSC Certified

This is the perfect puzzle for my 2 year old! He LOVES it. My little “mathematician in the making” is obsessed with identifying numbers, and loves pointing them out when I ask him to. He’s 24 months & not completely verbal yet, so I hope working with a visual like this will also help him develop the words quicker. The pictures underneath also help learn how to count.Compared to the large Melissa & Doug shape puzzle we have with big knobs, this is way less durable and not as sturdy. It’s much thinner and wouldn’t hold up to a teething baby. If your kiddo still chews on everything they see, this probably wouldn’t hold up long....The only thing I wish was different is the coloring! The numbers are a different color than the picture underneath. My son is used to his other M&D puzzles that have matching colored puzzle pieces & pictures underneath. EX: He picks up the BLUE 9, and gets confused because the nine flowers underneath are RED. If they coordinated the colors & pictures, it would have been more congruent with our other puzzles. This makes it more challenging, so maybe that’s the point!Another issue: While I’m glad this puzzle includes 0, my son gets frustrated because he’s used to counting to 10.....Overall, it’s awesome & would make a great 2nd birthday gift! I also ordered the 3-piece set on accident, which is a better deal! It includes this puzzle, ABC’s, & colored fish for about $13-14. That’s basically one free puzzle. I recommend getting the larger set instead!Hope this helps! 🧩

This is a great toy/tool for learning coordination and also numbers! My daughter loves it! I got it for her at 16-18 months and she didn’t show too much interest but she just turned 2 and now she can’t get enough of her “bumbers?” and that’s great for her visually (she learned to count to 10 but would ALWAYS skip the number 7 so I thought seeing and touching the number would help her remember it- and I was right!) but it’s also great for me because playing with her “bumbers” will usually give me just enough time to shower and get dressed or cook dinner or whatever it is I need to do.As you already know if you have Melissa & Doug toys- they are a brand you KNOW YOU CAN TRUST! The toys are safe, colorful, durable, thoughtful, educational and fun.This is a purchase you can feel confident about.

My 2 year old loves to play with the number puzzle and picked up on identifying each number my name very quickly. My 4 year old loves to play with the puzzle as well! Great learning toy

Melissa and Doug products are high quality and my 26 month old grandson loves the wooden puzzles! Definitely recommend.

I like the idea of the puzzle with the numbers and that many items on the board to be covered by the number. However, the numbers do not slip in as easily as other puzzles. And the six and nine can be interchanged but they don’t fit well if you change them up from their intended place. That was difficult for our 2 year old to grasp that the pieces were harder to fit in place. I know fine motor skills, but she worked others with no problem and doesn’t play with this one as much because the pieces don’t fit as smoothly.

As a parent I hate things that light up and make a bunch of noise for my kids, so I don't necessarily want to buy that for other people. This has been a gift I've bought for a number of kid birthday parties and finally bought for my own child. I know that it will be a very effective product for teaching my kids their numbers. At just over one years old she is already trying to figure out how to put things back together and I like that this is educational while doing that. Very affordable and very good quality.

This puzzle has helped our 19 month old on how to count to 10. The numbers themselves are good sturdy thickness, and as you can see the number seven has been chewed on a little bit and has not been damaged. The little white pegs on each of the numbers help develop fine motor skills and reach them to use their pincher grip between your thumb and their index finger to pick up the numbers. Great sturdy puzzle for learning! Love Melissa and Doug! Recommend and would buy again.Hope you found this helpful!

This is a wonderful puzzle. Every Melissa and Doug product is so well made and lasts a very long time. Something to know about this puzzle is that under the puzzle pieces there isn't the same picture, as many wooden puzzles have. For example- under the 2 there are two small circles, not another number 2. This can make this slightly hard for toddlers who are using their matching skills to complete the puzzle. However, this can be a good puzzle for learning and thinking skills for children with more advanced skills and thinking. My son wasn't able to complete it when we first received the puzzle. Not finding the match was confusing for him. But, now that he's 2 he is better equipped with the skills to complete it with ease.
