I was a little worried about à toy with so many tiny pieces, and if you knock these on the floor, you will be picking up a lots of small pieces (Hint: play with it on the floor.) However, some thought really went into the design of this toy. It has its own storage with divided areas within. The lid securely snaps onto it. Listen, you will hear it. The frame, grid (is that the right term?) snaps securely in the lid for play or storage. There is a nice booklet showing some things the kids can make. But there are a lot of gridded picture patterns I guess you call them. There is a picture on each side. One of these can be put under the grid on the lid, and the kids can put the pieces right over the picture into the grid. The lid is recessed so with the grid in place the lid is even all the way across so it can be stacked on a shelf if you want. The pictures store right inside the container, or you can leave one under the grid. And did I mention that the lid securely snaps into place. I just walked over, turned the thing over, and shook it, a brave action as there are a lot of pieces. The lid, the grid inside the lid did not budge. I almost forgot, my great grandkids (4 & 6 years, girl and boy) love this toy, too. The pictures excite them - alligator, house, heart, etc, but they also like to freehand their own designs.

“I did it”!! Exclaimed my 4 year old, who for the the last month has been shunned by her Big sister and Big brother because the older kids do huge 1000 piece puzzles that she can’t comprehend. She was always able to do little puzzles like the 24-100 piecers but she’s still too little to finish a bigger one and her attention span and confidence level was starting to dwindle. Then I found this toy. It’s great! It’s not super challenging for her, she’s very advanced, BUT she feels the sense of completion, and as I write this I see her 11 year old brother peering over her shoulder wanting to play too. She’s able to put it together, finish it, and immediately start a fresh puzzle. The whole toy is all in one piece and self contained, so it’s easy to put away and the pieces aren’t all over the place like some other toys she has. So far so good yay! I also run a Childcare business so when she outgrows this, it’ll be passed on. Definitely recommend this toy!

The toy itself is very cool and the 4 year old loved it however the box( toy box not shipping box) should be updated. It was white box with small(very small) sticker up front and makes it look like something used or packaged by me. I'd make the box more colorful or at least put a bigger sticker on the front!

My son loves this but there are a lot of the pictures that come with the box that there aren't enough pieces to make. He lost patience with it because he couldn't find the pieces and wound up shoving it aside. I was really excited about it because he loves puzzles but pretty disappointed that pictures that were included in the picture weren't even able to be made.

My two kids love this toy, it keeps them engaged for over an hour. When the item shipped the company sent a very nice email letting me know it was on its way and to reach out if i had any questions. My kids play together nicely which they dont do with other toys. This toy makes them think and work as a team to fill the spaces. It helps with the fine motor skills, color and shape recognition. This is also great for teaching counting because of the many pieces. It comes with several different patterns for them to play with, we just love it! Its definitely worth every penny and they're already hoping for new ETI toys lol they picked them already for me to get. When we recieved ours it was missing some green pieces and the customer service is amazing they shipped them right away. Just buy it because you wont regret it!

Packaging came damaged. Plus there weren't enough pieces to complete one puzzle. We'll be returning it unfortunately, my kid loved making most of the the one picture we made before packing it back up.

I purchased 3 of the Jigsaw Puzzles. 2 for my grandsons ages 3 and 5 and one for their cousin who is 4. My 5-year-old immediately started to play and was so engrossed in played that he did not try his other toys. My 3 year old loved it too and also spend a long time playing till he moved onto his other ETI toys. They are very interesting, and even my 11-year-old grand daughter starting playing too. My 14-year-old grandson was helping the 3-year-old. I can see where the children can play with him any number of ways.

I purchased this set for my 4 year old grandson. Even at 4 he was able to follow the graphics in the guide provided and put these puzzles together. Although the pieces were a little smaller than expected he was able to handle them well and has spent hours playing with this. Board and pieces are made of hard plastic and the pieces are all contained within the sturdy puzzle board when not in use. Great buy!

Everyone loves playing with it in my house, great quality and fantastic idea.

My 4yr old just loves playing with this, engaging & entertaining.

This will fill in xmas day, excellent gift.
