Ravensburger Woodland Friends 200 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle for Kids | Unique Piece Design | Enhances Concentration & Creativity for All Ages

My son loves puzzles and therefore I am an active puzzle buyer. I ocassionally buy puzzles from amazon but most of the time vendor's own website has better deals therefore I also check them regularly.Ravensburger and Melissa Doug are the two market leaders in jigsaw puzzles. They make equal quality puzzles with slight differences (Melissa doug is glossy finish and Ravensburger is matte) other than that there is no big difference between these two vendors. In Melissa Doug website a 200 piece puzzle is priced at $7.99 which is cheaper than most similar items in amazon market place. Therefore as a frequent puzzle buyer (my son loves them and constantly asks for new ones) this price determines my baseline.As of september 2014 this puzzle was priced at $9 which put it in the ballpark. My son really loved it as it has a lovely combination of many forest animals and plants. Compared to other 200 piece puzzles we have, this is slightly easier due to the even distribution of many colors on the picture (puzzles with large blank areas or abstract shapes are difficult compared to puzzles with different familiar items like this one.) However, I still don't recommend this one for a child under 4 unless he or she has some expertise in dealing with puzzles.Finally, the cardboard quality and the easiness of fitting the pieces are excellent as expected from Ravensburger (like I said you won't go wrong purchasing a puzzle from either of the vendors I mentioned above)I recommend this puzzle as long as the price is okay compared to the competitors.

One of the nicest puzzles that I have ever put together.

All ravensburger puzzles are well made, fit well and last. The pictures are lovely.

This is an excellent quality puzzle, the pieces have a good, solid feel to them, great for small fingers. The image quality is top notch. There is plenty of detail and interest in the picture. The colors are vivid. And it occupied my 4 year old for hours. The most shocking thing is that he finished it himself! I wouldn't say a typical 4 year old would do this, it didn't seem overly easy, but maybe an 8 year old who is already experienced with puzzles may finish it quickly.

Such good quality puzzles, worth the price!

I was so loving every single thing about this puzzle . . . until I got to the end and realized it was missing a piece! Quite deflating. These things happen, and I know Amazon will make it right, but for now, I am quite sad. Even so, I am highly recommending this puzzle. It is so well made, so adorable, so fun to do—sure to be a household favorite that will be enjoyed over and over.

My granddaughter, 8 years old, enjoyed and completed this in just a few hours.

I bought this puzzle for my two grandsons (ages 7 & 9) and they loved putting it together. It has just the right amount of pieces for their age group. It took us a little while to put it together, maybe about one hour or an hour and a half so it kept them busy. I've bought other Ravensburger puzzles for them and they are all great. Just ordered 2 more puzzles.
