Melissa & Doug Stop Sign (Vehicles) Jumbo Puzzle Review
Large handled 3 piece first puzzle made of wood and non-lead paint is a typical Melissas &
Doug toy. Has that extra "something" that intrigues little ones, is sturdy, and is appropriate for span of several months. Gripping the large nobs, comparing outlines of the 3 different cars (truck, car, police car), removing and later replacing the pieces for hand/eye coordination, and identifying primary colors makes this a multidimensional toy for little ones. Familiar red stop sign background provides a connection with the outside world. Excellent toy for guided interaction with parent or older sibling as little one is introduced to it.

No Longer Hand Painted, but Still a Sturdy Toy - Kat - San Francisco, CA
It's true that the Melissa and Doug toys have gone down in quality over the years. The wood puzzles are now pressed wood, the colors are no longer painted completely on the pieces (only the top of the puzzle piece is painted), and the colors chip off much easier. However, the puzzles are still great for the kids, and the toy is more durable than any of those silly cardboard puzzles on the market. Recommended.
no longer solid wood - K Morgan - new york, ny USA
I have purchased Melissa and Doug items for 5 years now. The puzzles that I purchased for my daughter 3 or 4 years ago were actually solid wood. I just went to the closet and looked at them and the backs of both the puzzles and the puzzle pieces are wood. I purchased this one and several others for my 1 year old son. Several layers of these puzzles are now mdf - fiberboard including the back layer of both the puzzle and the individual puzzle pieces. Only the core appears to be wood. If a baby puts this in his or her mouth, as most 1 year olds do, the fiber will swell or deteriorate. You can no longer wipe the surface with a damp washcloth as you could with a wood puzzle or the puzzle piece will be damaged. I am very disappointed with Melissa and Doug. I wonder how many of their other products are no longer solid wood.
Cute puzzle - H. Kelly -
This puzzle was so much nicer than I expected! I had seen other brands of peg puzzles and was expecting this to be similar. The puzzle is large, beautifully painted and has large, sturdy knobs that are just the right size for little hands.
