Melissa & Doug Farm Sound Puzzle - Wooden Peg Puzzle With Sound Effects (9 pcs)

Ordered this puzzle for my daughter and absolutely do not regret this purchase! She was enthralled by all the different animal noises and trying to figure out how they fit in. One thing I have to say about this puzzle is that the sounds are activated by the shadow of the pieces blocking the light-so the noises will not work in dim lighting. However, that feature is not really an issue for my daughter, who absolutely loves this puzzle, or I, who enjoys a long stretch of me time while she plays with it!!-

Good for 3-year-olds.

Grandson loved it! High Quality and works as described. 👍

Well constructed, beautiful realistic pictures, perfect size for toddlers. Animal sounds are realistic. Only complaint is description says makes animal sound when correct puzzle piece is placed in correct slot but actually any animal piece placed over a slot will activate sound.

I bought this for my 19 month old granddaughter because she loves animals, I love all Melissa and Doug toys because they are well made and priced right. I read some of the reviews on the puzzle before I bought it and I almost didn’t buy it because some of the reviews stated that the puzzle is “ Possessed “ and just goes off at random times, or sometimes the animals didn’t make the sound at all. Anyway since I have bought several items of theirs before for my grandchildren I went ahead and bought it, it arrived and worked great, then it didn’t. I called the number on the back of the puzzle and I have to say that their customer service is amazing, come to find out that each piece is light sensitive and if you are playing with it in a room that is a normal lit room then it works perfectly, my granddaughters bedroom at night is dark but has a nightlight so if the pieces weren’t in the puzzle and you went in and turned on the light the animals would make their sounds because the sensor on the puzzle piece is sensitive to light. We now have the puzzle out in the living room with most of her other toys and we haven’t had a problem since. When I spoke to the customer service representative he said that they are using this feedback to possibly have this information on the package. I am glad I bought this puzzle and called customer service before writing my review since I know reading reviews on products will sometimes sway someone’s purchase when all that is needed is a phone call to customer service, which I know takes time, but I would rather give a good review to a good product than a bad or mediocre review to a good product because I didn’t make the call. I definitely plan on buying more of these puzzles.

The 1st puzzle didn't work, u would put the cow in it's place & it would neigh like the horse. They replaced it & it not even 2 months & the 2nd puzzle stopped working. My 2 yr old ggson barely played with it & we've replaced batteries 4 times. Mostly we keep it turned off. Now no animal sounds work ‼️ definitely NOT worth the money ‼️

The media could not be loaded. My child loves it. In half a day, she was able to figure out how to put together puzzles correctly. She is 17 months old. This is exactly what I was looking for for her age. The only cons that I noticed is that the animals always start making sounds when the child brings something to it. It could just be her hand or a wrong image of another animal. For example, if you bring a cat to a dog, the cat still barks. This can be confusing for a child who is just learning about animals. It would be nice if, in case of an error, there will be some other sound or something like "oops, it's not right, let's try again".

I had to edit my review. At first I wasn’t happy because the sound didn’t seem to be working. After reading the back of the puzzle though, I realized it needs bright lighting in order to make the sounds. Now that I know this, I give this toy 5 stars. The puzzle pieces are easy to put in and take out. The colors are vibrant and eye catching. It will be a great tool to help my son learn animals and what’s sounds they make.
