United States of America wooden jigsaw puzzle with capitals and state outlines under pieces. The USA Map puzzle helps teach individual state names and capitals, as well as providing notable state information; encourages vocabulary development and basic geography. Ask the child to assemble the map on a flat surface, not in the puzzle board; if necessary, use the puzzle board as a guide. Review each state and discuss the information printed on the back of the puzzle board. This information includes the following for each state: abbreviation, capital, population, size, flower, bird, and motto. Vermont and New Hampshire are on one piece. Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut are on one piece. New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Washington, D.C. are on one piece. Ages 5 and up.

Rated a 4, not a 5 because I thought each state's info was going to be printed on the map underneath where the puzzle piece goes. Instead, it's all printed on the back of the puzzle board itself. Great info though. It's just hard to read anything on the back of the puzzle board unless all the pieces are out.
Great colors, pleasing to the eye. good product. worth the price.

This is a great puzzle to start teaching your little ones where all the states are. Melissa and Doug product are always well made and this one is no exception. I like that the puzzle pieces are shaped like the individual states. The capitol of each state is listed underneath each puzzle piece on board itself and products and things each state is noted for are pictured on each individual state piece.
After playing with this puzzle for the first time, my 3 1/2 year old was already able to know where some of the states went!
My only criticism of this puzzle is that it does not have anything to store it in, so you have to keep the puzzle flat at all times during storage or else all the states will fall out.
Very nice map puzzle!

This is a terrific puzzle of the states, made of wood, with fun facts/identifiers for each state. The kids have been having a great time with it, beginning to learn their states!
Kids love it!!

The moment I got the map out of the box, my kids were ecstatic. I have had the map for only a week and so far my child can locate at least 20 of the 51 states. We are working on the others.
