Nice high-quality floor puzzle for kids
This is a huge floor puzzle with large pieces that is easy for preschoolers and younger kids too. Sturdy pieces, nice high-quality box. We love it as a nice launching point for teaching about space and planets. My only complaint is I wish they were displayed to scale (it's confusing to see the earth and moon as so large and try to teach my kids about the sizes) and in a clearer order from the sun. But overall it's a nice intro to space for little kids.

My 3yo's favorite puzzle
My 3yo's favorite puzzle. Update: We've had this puzzle for about 6 months now. It gets consistent use. The toddler pulls it out every weekend to put together. We love talking about the planets and outerspace. He loves the puzzle so much that he doesn't ever want us to take it apart and put it away. So, the puzzle stays on the floor all day long and we disassemble it after he goes to sleep. During the day, it gets walked on and scooted around. It still looks great! It really stands up to the abuse of being walked on as well as constantly being assembled and disassembled - the pieces still fit together nicely, without warping or tearing, and so far nothing has started showing any signs of wear. We are very pleased with this puzzle.

The kit is very sturdy and the pieces are made of a very thick ...
Our kiddo is on the Autism spectrum, and is VERY particular about his puzzles. That being said, he ADORES his Melissa and Doug kits!! They have enough pieces to keep him interested, and they are big enough to keep him engaged. The kit is very sturdy and the pieces are made of a very thick cardboard.

Honestly I was very very happy with this purchase
My 4 year old loves space and this puzzle was a prefect gift for him. He spends hours on it and learning how to put puzzles together. Honestly I was very very happy with this purchase. Also the puzzle itself is great quality. The pieces have not yet broken or bent and the picture it not peeling of like other kids puzzles I have bought. I really like this one. I have also grown to really love and trust Melissa and Doug for their amazing quality toys and toys that my kids truly love and continue to play with and toys which grow their minds too!! Thank you so much Melissa and Doug for being part of my kids lives!!!

Great learning puzzle!!
What a nice way to teach a toddler about solar system!!! My 2 1/2 year old daughter always wants to learn new things and when I gifted her this Melissa and Doug Solar System puzzle she was so happy. She leant about the planets in a few days .It has such a magic that she used to arrange this puzzle quite a few times daily . She still does it now. The pieces are so sturdy and colorful, no worries of wooden flakes comming out or wooden dust like as playing with some wooden puzzles.The pieces are cut in such a way that cute little hands can easily put it together.All the planets are named beautifully on them and each part is linked in such a way that after a few tries your little one can easily arrange this. Only problem is that it requires a big space but for a big solar system it s justifiable .

The best and easiest way to teach a child the vastness of solar system !!!
I always chose for the best but easiest way to teach my kiddo any complicate thing e.g. Solar system. I chose none but Melissa and Doug for this as I have complete faith on them. How is a puzzle can teach a child the huge solar system is unbelievable and Melissa and Doug has done it superbly. This puzzle is a floor puzzle and takes a big space which is one minute negative point but for such a big solar system it's worth it. The puzzle pieces are sturdy enough and does not tear easily so good for a child. Each piece is interlinked in such a way that after you start assembling the pieces buy each planet it becomes so easy to make it complete. The picture is very bright and vibrant. Each planet and sun also has name on it. So it's easier to recognize and learn about each planet. My kiddo learnt the solar system through this puzzle within two days. She loves to do this puzzle quite often and I highly recommend it.

Pretty cool!
This looks even cooler in person. We bought this for our son for his 4th birthday. He is into the solar system and has all the planets & dwarf planets memorized. I am glad the puzzle pieces are large, I was worried about losing them. If your little one is also into the planets you may also love the inflatable planets by Learning Resources, and wall decals with planets, constellations, and rockets/space crafts. I am considering purchasing some other floor puzzles after this.

Great first "BIG" puzzle for young kids!
My 4 year old loves this puzzle! He was ready to step up from his basic 8 piece puzzle and I was afraid this would be a little much for him, but I've actually found that it's perfect! I divide the pieces into "planets" and let him assemble a planet at a time. When he has each of them assembled, he can combine them all to finish the puzzle. It's been a great way to transition to a larger, more complicated puzzle and he feels extra smart completing it "by himself". I think it will keep him entertained for quite awhile longer (until he can complete the entire puzzle himself) and he is already learning to name and recognize the planets. It's a win!

A good first “real” puzzle for toddlers
Our son is 2 years and 9 months old and has loved this puzzle since we got it for him two months ago. We helped him learn how to put a jigsaw puzzle together, of course, since this was his first real puzzle. Now he understands how to match the colors and shapes together and can (usually) press the pieces in on his own because they’re big easy shapes and sturdy. He’s been able to carry the same concept to other toys like his train tracks that link together. I’ve been able to explain that they go together “like the puzzle” and it makes more sense to him. I think this is a really good starter toy for toddlers that can lead to more advanced concepts in the next age group of toys.

Love it!!
My son who just turned 3 loves solar system and so we gifted this puzzle for his 3rd birthday. Within 2 weeks he started doing the puzzle all by himself. Quality is sturdy and size of the each piece is pretty big so that is good for small hands. One concern is there is no Pluto since it is no more a planet. My kid loves it and plays with it almost every day.
