Are they easy to peel up once installed? I can see my little one trying to take apart the "puzzle" but love everything else about it, for our playroom

Yes very easy I intend to cover entire basement floor with mats great for the price.

A child can easily take them apart but fitting it back together would depend on the age of the child. Kids learn by taking things apart. My son used to take the phone apart and put it back together. Now he's going to be an engineer. You may want to get used to the idea of "change" because it's the only thing that's permanent in this world. Puzzles are learning toys :D Ask yourself, Why do I feel the need to control? Healthy boundaries are good for children but you can go too far. Is it his playroom? These are great for Yoga! You could practice loosening your foundation while your little one plays! Have FUN! A child can easily take them apart but fitting it back together would depend on the age of the child.

they aren't sticky or anything, so you can move them around as you need to. But they also aren't overly loose or anything, so you do have to pull on them a bit to detach them. You really need an edge piece to pull them apart usually, as there is nowhere to easily grip them otherwise.

My daughter just turned 4 and she loves them! We helped her the first time & then she was able to do it on her own. She loves puzzles & we have been doing them with her since she was 2.

I have had no problems peeling mine off from the backing sheet. I ordered them almost 2 years ago and just came back to order more!

My 3 year old son has just perfected removing them by himself. My 4 year old daughter, however, has not figured it out. I've never tried to remove it (my son has always removed it when I didn't want for him to!), but since he's able to remove them, I would say that they would likely be easy for you to remove as well. ;)

They peeled off fairly easily by hand for me. They didn't take any paint off or anything like that. Of course there's no guarantee you won't lose a little paint and have to touch up, but the cling was stronger than regular vinyl clings for windows yet not as strong as masking tape.

They stick, but can be peeled right off. I worry since corners peel easily and I feel I HAVE to put tape.

They are very easily removable. They're hanging in our second house. They were first put up on a fresh coat of paint. No paint peeled when we removed them. They survived the move and easily went up in the new house.

Yes, very easy! All parts come off easily. I wash them on gentle and hang dry. They look as good as new.

Its EXTREMELY easy to put on and take off.(Actually its a little easier to take off because to put it on you have to rub it on. But it peels right off)Chances are, you may never want to remove them. They're adorable!

They take some "tugging" but they are able to be removed! The adhesive is strong. If you peel the label off it and try to reapply it, it doesn't stay put as well as it does with the original application!

Yes they are so be careful you don't have the puzzle upside down when you remove the plastic. Some of the plastic may stick to the pegs in the pieces but not for the most part. I love Melissa & Doug puzzles. I wish they had another "latch" puzzle.

I actually put them on after having the balloon blown up. The lady in the store said you can do either. I even messed up on the placement of two or three letters and was worried about peeling them off and popping the balloon but they came off fairly easy and the balloon stayed in tact. Hope this helps! :)

They are exposed as a silver dot on the top of the piece (you can see them in the image). They are not exposed on the back of the piece. If you are concerned about them coming loose, we have not had any trouble and these are my sons absolute favorite puzzles. They are great.

Not too hard...takes 5-10 minutes to remove/put on. FYI, while I enjoy it occasionally, the difficulty of assembly wasn't worth it! It took 2 of us 1/2 day.

They are pretty hard, there is a little give sort of like a child's double-walled plastic play house or slide. I have a dog bed mat in the bottom of ours.

You could use a tape on the corner to peel it up but I didn't have any trouble. By the time I wanted to remove it, the corners weren't holding down 100%.

In my option it is easy to remove. What I couldn't grip on to to peel with my nail, I got some tweezers. No damage left on the wall. Hope this helps!
