Wee Gallery Pets Beginner Puzzle Set - Jigsaw Puzzles for Toddlers - Sensory Toys Promoting Cognitive & Motor Development - Sustainable Learning Toys for Toddler, Young Kids (12 Pieces, 6 Puzzles)

It may seem like a very basic puzzle to you, only two pieces, so to what end? BUT…it’s perfect for tiny babies. They’re developing cognitively, learning from the world around them. Even though it’s just 2 pieces, to a baby this is a stepping stone into higher order thinking. It’s also helpful for building their dexterity. It doesn’t hurt that the cute designs are adorable! Once your baby grows and stops being interested in the toy, you can frame the puzzle pieces, make them into fridge magnets, or donate them to another baby. It’s sturdy, so it can certainly last long enough to make it to a second family in good condition. It is suggested for babies Ages 2 and up - I disagree!!! Development varies. I’ve seen babies that walk well before they’re “supposed to” and exceptionally gifted children that have simple conversations as early as 7 months!!!! That is ABSOLUTELY NOT the norm, so *please* don’t sweat it if your baby is not anywhere close to that yet. Some children might learn to talk until they’re 4, which is unusual, BUT are healthy and *WILL* “catch up” to their peers just fine. Don’t sweat it friends! Nevertheless, though rare, this fast development sometimes happens. So…if you are one of the few that have a baby that is just racing through his milestones, let them play before the recommended age of 2 as long as you supervise them. Model how to put the pieces together and guide their tiny hands. Any baby will benefit from this puzzle and your help in solving it. I HIGHLY recommend it! I hope this helps!

Quality is great but the puzzle is too large in size. I found beginner puzzles that are smaller in size better for my toddler

Like all the Wee Gallery products, the illustrations are fantastic. Whimsical, but still realistic enough to bring up real questions about the parts of the animals or dinosaurs.The size is great for little hands. Each puzzle is only two pieces, and each piece is quite big. Refer to my second picture for size..I put them next to a water glass for scale.The box states that this puzzle is intended for children 2+. I think this age limit is spot on. Children under two (or at least my child) are going to put the pieces in their mouth. The puzzle pieces will not withstand moisture. The pieces are made of a thick pressed board/cardboard, just a little bit thicker than a standard puzzle piece. For older toddlers this material should be fine, although the pieces may still get bent with use. But I would definitely adhere to the age guidelines if you want this puzzle to last.I think the price point is fair, if not a bit high (like all Wee Gallery products), but the quality is nice and it would make a great gift for any Dino lover.

This was a great gift for our young nephew. While he probably wont be able to play with it as much until he gets older, it's an adorable puzzle that will be easy for him to start out using to learn with. Would purchase again!

I really like the muted colors and unique illustrations in this set of simple 2-piece puzzles. The cardboard is thin but very sturdy. I am excited to introduce these puzzles to my son when he is just a little bit older. I think these will be terrific "first puzzles" when he is between 1-2 years old, though I'd want to supervise as he puts everything in his mouth. Along those lines, I'm glad these are made with child-safe "eco-inks" though I'm not sure what that means.... Anyhow, altogether a great way to continue to develop my son's fine motor skills, albeit at a relatively expensive price point.

Wee Gallery does it again. This is a really nice puzzle that our kiddo loves. I probably wouldn’t spend $20 on a small puzzle like this again though, unless it’s for a gift.

These oversized, 2-piece puzzles are good for little kids who are still struggling with fine-motor skills. The pictures are cute and engaging. They are made of heavy cardboard, like many puzzles for older kids. Our 2-year-old is the right age for them, but under his rough handling, I don’t expect them to last long. If they were made of hearty material I would have given them 5 stars.

My nephew had a blast with these puzzle pieces. He loves dinosaurs and at two years old these are the perfect size for his hands.
