Great toy
I bought this for my niece's 1st birhday and she likes it- especially the big knobs which allow her to fit the piece in properly- she had other puzzles but didn't have the dexterity to get them into place, with this toy she can fit them into the spot much easier.

Love this Puzzle!
We have had this toy for more than a year and still looks very good (just a few scratches). I bought it when my daughter was 8 months old. She learned to name the animals very quickly and loved to play with it even though she couldn't put the pieces back.
If this is too difficult for your child, try the geometric shapes (Melissa and Doug) - they're much easier. I think that this puzzle is the next step after the shapes.

Great for developmentally delayed children
I have a 2 year old son with Down syndrome. This puzzle is fantastic for him. The knobs are easy for him to grasp. The puzzle is very durable. He bangs the pieces together and bangs them on the puzzle board. The knobs are still secure and the pieces are not broken or chipped. This puzzle is a great learning tool for him. It teaches him not only where the piece fits in but we also say the name of the animal and make the corresponding sound. I highly recommend this puzzle for toddlers and developmentally delayed children.

Cute puzzle but. . .
I bought this puzzle for my 16 month old. It's really cute and well made but the pieces are hard to put in. They have to be lined up EXACTLY in order to fit, which is something he has a hard time with. Overall it's a decent product.

Amazing Durable Wooden Puzzle
My 19 month old loves this puzzle. The knobs on the puzzle pieces make it easy for her to handle compared to some of her other wooden puzzles. She can easily figure out where each of the pieces go because of the pictures on the puzzle itself. She is always so proud of herself when she gets the pieces in correctly. The puzzle is very durable and well made.
