GokiWooden Animals Circle Puzzle

Chose this for my son (he's 2 3/4 )because I thought the spiral design would encourage a systematic approach where he only has to concentrate on matching one join/image each time. I still like it for this unusual without being babyish design however some joins require very close examination, the animals aren't equally positioned over joins, some have just a few millimetres extending into the adjoining piece. My son requires plenty of help and encouragement to persevere, not a problem but I didn't expect it. He doesn't accept my suggestion to start at the rounded first and last pieces, hence we have to do a bit of shifting of pieces to then get in at the right angle to fit in the tray at its broadest! Looking to see if the animals are in water, on/over land is another approach to solving the puzzle. Plenty of scope for learning and good quality. Bit stiff but on the plus means it doesn't break up accidentally in storage.

I love the design of this puzzle as it is different to all the jigsaws my puzzle mad daughter already has. I bought it as a Christmas present and it was played with twice (under adult supervision) before bits started to snap off and the picture came unstuck/peeled off from the puzzle pieces. It was such a shame as my daughter really enjoyed playing with it and the other reviews were positive. The pieces are made from thin wood and the picture is made from thin cardboard which rips easily when taking the pieces apart. Basically this product will not withstand even gentle play.

My 2 year old can't quite do this puzzle but almost and she loves turning it round and round to tell me what all the animals are. The puzzle is embedded in a wooden tray - all very sturdy and good quality. It is the kind of thing you would keep for years to come as a wee heirloom. It can also stand upright against a wall on a shelf as a display to talk about animals.Great quality - would highly recommend.

it is a real challenging toy because of the curvature, and it needs a correct start: toddlers will need assistance. still trying to finish completing the puzzle before my son gets restless.Puzzles are very thin compared to other puzzles, and may break.

Nice jigsaw however smaller than expected and some of the pieces chipped off when trying to get the pieces apart for the first time.

Hours and hours of fun! Kids love this - especially as it is already made too. Not clunky boxes with pieces missing! We put this together a few times a day!

What a lovely puzzle! Wood is definitely warmer than plastic. My son loves looking at the animals and putting them in place on the spiral board. A very good buy!

Once again this brand prove to be effective and the kids love it!!its wooden so the kids dont feel tempter to chew it off and its great for educational purposes! I bought a couple of them more to offer to other nephews of mine and would incite everyone that wants a good senses education to buy this to their kids!
