This is the first puzzle ball she's been introduced to and with the right treat inside, it seems to be a hit! It did take a few minutes of me introducing her to the function of the ball but after that she's been able to do it on her own. Because of the material (plastic) it is a bit noisy on bare floors but it also allows for the ball to move around easily and provide good entertainment and challenge for my dog.

I truly enjoyed working this Charles Wysocki puzzle by Buffalo Games. So much so, that I will keep it to work again. The scene is very appealing, interesting and colorful. I especially enjoyed working on it due to its variety of colors and objects. This may be my first experience with this brand of puzzle, as I usually buy Ravensburger. After working this fun, not-too-difficult, quality puzzle, I will likely purchase additional Buffalo Games puzzles.

This is a single player game with levels ranging from beginner to expert. The point of the game is to take a challenge card and lay out the pieces on the game board then use the allotted pieces to create a circuit that lights up. The cards have the challenge on one side and the answer key on the reverse side to check your work (making this a really good problem solving activity for my oldest). My younger son likes to sit with me and work through the challenges together. We added a timer to make it a little more interesting/competitive for my boys who wanted to play this one player game together (the timer is not included- this was something extra we did to change it up). There are Challenge Cards, Path Pieces, Beacons, a Switch, a Blocker, and a Power Supply (please note that the Power Supply does not come with batteries -which is clearly stated on the box... so plan on having 3 AAA batteries on hand - or the game will not work).

Pros:
This is great for problem solving skills.
The pieces are good sturdy pieces that I do not worry about breaking
The markings on the pieces are very clear to see (defining which side is the positive and which is the negative)
The challenge cards  are very easy to read and understand and the solutions on the back of the card make it easy to check your own work.

Cons:
The Path Pieces are a little difficult to remove from the game box. They get stuck and I have to remove the plastic liner and push them out from behind in order for them to pop out - I continue putting them into the game box because it keeps the pieces well organized (so I guess this is both a pro and a con) I just wish they were easier to remove.
Sometimes the pieces do not pop easily (and stay) into the game grid, making it difficult to always accurately check your work. A couple times we played through a challenge thinking that we were right and the pieces didn't light up because they were not in all the way - and would not stay in once pushed down.

All in all I do like this product even though there are a couple things that I would tweak about it (make the game pieces easier to pop out of the game holder and easier to pop into the game grid). It is a fun game that is very different from other games out there. It is definitely good for working on problem solving skills and the different levels of play make it fun for both kids and adults. Disclosure: I received this product for free or at a discount in exchange for a fair and honest review. My thoughts and opinions are in no way influenced by others. I would give it a 5 star rating if the pieces popped  into and stayed in the game grid better. And after playing this game I did go and search out more Think Fun games for my kids.

My 3-year-old has a great time with this puzzle. It is the right degree of fun and challenge for him. I only wish these Melissa & Doug puzzles would come in boxes that are easier to open -- perhaps a top-open with a cloth tab. The boxes are now difficult for both me and my child to open. We also have Farm Animals and Solar System floor puzzles. He is able to do them virtually on his own! And learn a lot from the pictures as well.

Nowadays with so many Electronic devices that invaded our homes,our kids are becoming addicted to such devises! The down side of this,kids become somewhat antisocial,staying to themselves,couch potatoes,not to mention all the strain that they put on their eyes!! Here is an opportunity to keep the kids occupied for hours,while they improve problem solving skills by putting their brains to work! It also improves their motor skills,and all through a safe and challenging puzzle:

The Puzzle Cube:
--------------------------
If you ever used other brands of similar Cubes and especially the ones made by famous brands,you will notice the better quality on the Ledovi product!!
It is just like most of its peers made out of Plastic,which is the preferred material for this sort of product. Nice size which makes it easy to grip regardless of the size of hands. One thing makes this Cube superior to others,is the ease of use! It rotates so easily and smoothly when trying to solve it. I v'e used some other brands that you had to exert some physical strength in order to rotate the cube around itself. Choice of colors was very smart,as it gives it an attractive look to grab the attention of kids and adults alike.

Play Time:
-----------------
It was an instant hit in the house,kids and adults taking turns in trying to solve the puzzle,while engaging in social activity. Solving it will take time,yet it is achievable with time and patience.

Conclusion:
-----------------
After using it for few days and becoming popular especially with kids(see pictures bellow) I highly recommend this Toy/Puzzle as an engaging,interactive alternative to Electronic and Digital devices. I hope you find my humble review helpful in breaking or making your decision about your purchase today,if so please return the favor by hitting the YES button bellow while you're at it :)

The piece was quite fun, I loved the little stickers that came with it, allowing you to customize your bird a bit more! I had no difficulties getting the pieces to snap into place and overall the puzzle was quite fun!

I love this kind of puzzle activity and enjoy the process of discerning the minute differences between each of the pieces. I often pull Pajaggle off the shelf to play solo, simply as a means of keeping my brain sharp. A timer is included, so you can race the clock to beat your previous best time if you like. My five year-old also enjoys the puzzle aspect of Pajaggle and it is great for developing his visual perception skills. We do own an additional set of pieces in a different colour, which can be used to go head to head with another person while using just one board (count up who has placed the most pieces at the end of the round to see who has won), but I do think that if this is the kind of activity that members of your group truly enjoy, that having an extra game board and pieces in a different colour works best.

My husband, myself and our 4-year-old preschooler worked on this puzzle together over a period of four weeks [ a couple of minutes each day]. My husband and I were hoping to impress upon our squirmy 4-year-old the value of focus, and how pieces of a puzzle can, over a period of time be made into a beautiful picture.

The puzzle itself was not of a high difficulty level, certainly something even a relative beginner like me could get into. We organized the puzzle according to shapes [the ones with a flat edge got set aside first to make the 'frame'], followed by color before we proceeded to put the pieces together. It was fun and our little preschooler even got in on the action by helping to sort out the pieces by color!

The finished puzzle held well together, enough to be transferred onto a cardboard [we plan to frame the beautiful picture]. My only grouse is that the makers of the puzzle should have included a picture of the actual puzzle in its entirety for reference - we had to make do by looking at the box itself which wasn't really of much help [especially for the less obscure parts], and resulted in much eye strain on our part.

I bought this for my grandson.  I was pleased that it was larger than I thought it would be.  It comes in a cube shape and is fun to pose in different ways and then try to get it back into the cube form.  Everyone wants to play with it, from young to old.
Great to get their brains thinking and learning to figure things out while being hands on.  I did not realize it comes in different difficulty levels, so I'm looking forward to buying those too.
My grandson painted his which was a bonus for him to do, as this is plain wood.<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Areaware-Cubebot-Medium/dp/B003XGS7FI/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Areaware Cubebot Medium</a>

I had a very good time making this jigsaw puzzle (in about a day). Nice bright colors and good balance of "easier" areas (books, fruit, figurines) with a couple of more challenging sections (cat and foliage).
Pieces interlocked well.
I usually donate puzzles after I make them, but this one is a keeper for now. Plus I love cats!

I was sorry to read so many disappointing reviews of this toy.  I usually buy toys after reading as many reviews on amazon as possible, but this toy I found in a store and bought right away because it was on sale.

We are so happy with this toy.  I bought it for my daughter when she was 18 months and she mastered it easily - she loves puzzles.  Now that she is 2, she is still enjoying it daily.  Instead of just putting the pieces in their places, she is now listening to the names of the letters and the associated word - she'll say "J Jellybean" before putting in the J piece, or "L Ladybug" before putting in the L piece.  And she knows the names and shapes of most of the letters already.

It occassionally makes a funny noise by itself, but only if it isn't sitting flat or if someone walks by it very hard and makes the floor move, and we have other toys that also do this.  And if you try to put a piece in the wrong space it might say the letter name anyway - this doesn't happen to us much because my daughter hardly gets the placement wrong.  And when a blip like this does happen, our daughter hardly notices.  I quickly went out and bought the number puzzle as well.

I decided to start a little competition between four avid puzzler family members. I shipped the same puzzle out to each and said 'Go!'. We've had an amazing time. It's a difficult one and beautiful once it's done - I'm still working on mine but I've seen the finished product!

Soon after my sons 2nd birthday, I searched for puzzles that would challenge him more than the 1-piece, 1-hole type.  What I found was stimulating for my little guy, and it gave us countless hours of one of one time together.  The "Fire Truck Peg Puzzle" is different from other peg puzzles that have one piece per opening.  This puzzle has one large opening, and no separations.  The puzzle encourages young children to think, yet at the same time have fun, because it includes the same picture beneath the pieces.  It requires more concentration than the stage-1 type of puzzle, and it was exactly what William needed.
I found this age group learns, and retain more information from realistic pictures, or photographs of everyday things, rather than animated illustrations.  The manufacturer of this toy understands that, and although the Fire Truck is a rendered drawing, it closely resembles its real-life counterpart.  The puzzle is designed well.  By that, I mean the division of the pieces is perfectly presented.  In addition, each piece includes a red peg so the puzzle is easy to work.
William has enjoyed this puzzle from the time I eyed it in the store.  In fact, he's not ready to give it up, and why should he.  He turns 3 next month, so he's had 8 good months with the "Fire Truck Peg Puzzle" and will probably continue to "work it" a while longer.  It's held up well considering my sons destruct-o moods, and will probably carry on for the next generation's play and abuse.  2-years and up.
Happy Playing,
Mary

Our 2 year old recently gained interest in puzzles and moved quickly from 2 piece to 12 piece to 24 piece.  I'm tired of buying him new puzzles so I went looking for other options and thankfully ran across this gem!  He LOVES it!  Once he understood the concept, he was able to work through a number of the puzzles, including two of the last puzzles with the help of just one piece from mom.  This thing is going to be around our house for a long time it seems.  Architect wife and Engineer husband also love watching him explore how his brain can function to a higher degree than a lot of toys for his age allow.

I ordered this puzzle hoping for a challenge and I was right. I am a long time puzzler and I have gotten bored with the same old puzzle so I decided to try something new. To start off with I was drawn to the bright colors and wonderfully drawn animals that this puzzle has. I'm about halfway through with the puzzle right now and it has provided a lot of enjoyment. I really like puzzles that challenge me. I don't like them to be too easy otherwise it's not fun. Overall this is a great puzzle. It is very well made and the pieces stay together just like they should. In addition the color top is securely fastened to the cardboard below so that when I put all the puzzle pieces together they match up perfectly. I did receive this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review

We got this toy for our 11 months old on a boring shopping trip and he figured out within 10 min that the magnetic wand will connect to the puzzle pieces. He loved to 'fish the fish' or to just turn the board so that they fell out. Currently he practices to put the pieces back into the shapes after 'fishing', which is still too challenging with some of the shapes as they tend to get stuck when he rather tries to force them than to turn the shapes gently until they fit. Other shapes he can manage on his own already. What I really appreciate about this toy is that it offers different possibilites of play (cause-effect, in and out, fine motor skills, shapes) depending on the skills and age of the child and keeps interest for a long time. The colored layer on top got chipped away a bit at the edges of the shapes with time, but it experienced a good bit of chewing in the first months of use... We simply love this toy.
