Looks Better Than Actual Item
Posted 5/21/2008 by Maureen Plumb
Rating: 
Product has very sturdy colorful pieces but are not cut correctly. Wherever the puzzle piece lands, the puzzle will begin to say that states name. Even when it is not the correct state landing on it. It is confusing to children. If all the pieces fall out by falling on the floor, you better make sure that you put it back together and not throw the pieces on top to do until later or the board will continue to talk and talk. Although the idea is good and the maker is well known for their superior craftsmanship, I can't give this a good rating.

My 5 year old grandsons enjoy learning the names and capitals of the states from this map that talks to them. Even their 1 year old brother gets into the act to hear the capital names. It can get confusing when too many little hands or too quick an action causes delayed sounds far behind the action. Also, the problem of too many small New England states results in a long list that the boys tire of (and pick a new puzzle piece) before the end of the recitation.

Educational Fun

I had one of these as a kid. I remember playing with it all the time. It's probably the only reason I remember where all the states are. I'm just so glad that they've kept something simple and educational like this around for our kids!

cheap wood

First off the wood that you used is cheap. It crack when my son pull out the the letter. Another thing is the edges of the wood is very sharp all around. I have to sand it down to make it smooth. Overall the product I would not recommend because of its cheap quality.

Great idea!

I think this will end up being a great toy for my son as he gets older. He was given this toy for his 3rd birthday. He loves puzzles and he and another little 3-year-old girl were fascinated with it. She kept repeating the names of the capitals as the puzzle told them to her.
There are a few things that make this puzzle too advanced for many kids. For one, even if you child is old enough to read, they have to know the state capitals really well to be able to do this puzzle easily. Instead of having the names of the states on the board, it's the capitals. Also, one annoying thing is that it will start telling you the name of the state as soon as the puzzle piece hits the board, even if it's in the wrong area.
Other than that, I think it's a wonderful puzzle and it's wonderfully made!

Good puzzle for kids

Our 3yr old daughter likes the puzzle.
It has pictures on each state to indicate what the state is famous for.We use these pictures to help our daughter identify different states.
She also likes to find the states where her cousins live.
It lacks a on/off button or volume control.
The sound is little loud and annoying at times -though this doesn't bother our daughter.

My grand daughter who is four loves the puzzle. The only problem we had was getting the screw off to insert the battery.
Great Idea - Son Loves It

This is a great learning tool. My son is 3 and loves it. The only downside is the sensors are too sensitive. When you get near OH it says the name, which causes a bit of confusion. Take it. It may be on this one only. We try to put OH in 1st to help eliminate that problem. Some pieces are also a really tight fit and as you move work them in other states start to talk. I still think it's a great puzzle. Just a few kinks.

I admit that I bought this for my 3 year old (it is billed for age 5+) because I want to cultivate his interest in geography, but I really wish it had pegs to make it easier for little hands to pick up the pieces.
