Not our favorite
Melissa and Doug make great floor puzzles for kids. This one however is a rare miss. Really, the only drawback is that the pieces aren't made to fit together snuggly unless they are surrounded by other pieces, which is a problem for kids. It's very durable and colorful but I'd probably go with another option if I had one.

I wouldn't buy it again.
This is a nice, big puzzle with large pieces. The thing I mainly don't like is that only a few of the pieces are jigsaw-type (interlocking), the majority are just slide-together. This is very frustrating to my two children because the puzzle is always moving around and the pieces constantly have to be repositioned. I wish the country names had been included, but it's also nice to keep it simple for the very young child who just might want to learn the continents. I paid a lot more for this puzzle than what is being asked here, and I would not buy it again. Melissa and Doug also makes a wooden world map puzzle, which might be better.

Excellent for Teaching Geography
This puzzle is a great addition to tools that my 2 year olds use for learning geography. They enjoy doing it over and over again. It is exciting to watch them fight over Africa, or yell "Give me India back!" After doing this puzzle and others they get excited whenever they see a map. They point out various continents and countries.

I would not buy it
Some continents (Europe, Asia, and Australia) are deliniated incorrectly. I would not want my kids to be misinformed about basic geographic concepts.

These are real good for kids
I bought this for my niece who is 5 yrs old.

Pros:It is big and easy to organize and read the letters and the board itself is thick enough that it will not get torn apart by kids easily.
Cons: It lists only continents and not countries.For the size it is, it would have been better if it listed countries.
