What are the size of the puzzle pieces? Are they large enough for arthritic fingers to handle?

the pieces are very different then most puzzles and hard to handle to me and I don't have arthritis

I actually would say they are small. Some pieces are very little. They definitely have some unique shapes but I would say the pieces are most definitely on the small side

Most are as wide as a half-dollar. Some more the size of a quarter. I am aged 79 and I had no trouble holding the pieces.

The whole thing is about 5 by 8 so each puzzle piece is about 1.5 inches. Hope this helps

Also. At least one person who works with this puzzle MUST have small hands. My husband and my 14 year old son could not manipulate the top portion of the puzzle. Not sure how people without kids or women helping managed it. Lol.

Each piece is extra large. My 3-yr old daughter works these puzzles with our assistance and loves them!

They're not big - average about 1/2 inch, some longer and if that's a little too big, they will break easily into smaller pieces in your fingers.

The previous answers spoke to real dimensions. I'll speak, as another Grandma, to the reaction our 2-year old grandson had to them. They are perfect carrying size for his hands with the largest a little big but manageable. They're too big to swallow and too big to get hidden easily between sofa cushions or under chairs. That probably speaks as well from his Mom's perspective as from a grandparent's. They are also sturdy and, while not designed for throwing, can tolerate it without breakage. Hope this helps

thses are best guesses. 750 pieces and the size of 36 x 24 (might be bigger, as it filled my puzzle table)

This farm puzzle has 8 pieces and yes the picture under is identical. They are thick pieces (chunky) easy for little hands to hold and they will stand on a flat surface which adds another dimension to their play. The puzzle pieces are about 3/4 inches thick while the puzzle board is 1/4 so very easy for little hands to grab. You can't go wrong with Melissa and Doug puzzles. My next purchase will be a puzzle rack to hold my granddaughters puzzle collection :)

The box suggests 3 and up and that sounds about right. Pieces are about 3"x 3" and there are 48 of them and make a 2'x 3' puzzle. Pieces are sturdy.

Well, yes...they are plastic, and are rather stiff, especially when brand new. My 84 yo mother doesn't have arthritis in her hands, but it was very difficult at first, even for my 45 yo fingers! U might want to close them with a rubber band if that is the case. The openings are about 1" x 1" x 3/4" deep--perhaps a tiny bit deeper.

Hi, I did measure the pieces... they are smaller than I had remembered. About 1.5" long. Not suitable for your needs.I wouldn't say they are 'large' ... but they are definitely not really small. I can measure and get back to you....

I bought 2 as gifts for grandchildren. I think by estimating the size they seem to be close to a 3" cube. I they are larger, it is not by very much.

I haven't measured, but they are large. Developing fine-motor skill level, maybe too big for those who are looking for more detail work.

They can be difficult to open, so maybe not good for arthritic fingers. I like that they are hard to open as I keep the box for a day either in my purse or pocket at work and don't want them to open.

I have not measured them, but they are reasonably thick - a tad smaller than the thickness of my fat finger. less than 1/2 inch, maybe 3/8". Enough so the dog can handle it easily.

It would depend on the size- definitely in a puzzle. You could tear them up for a treat ball.
