- Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2023The quality of this is nice. It's a wooden puzzle and looks as pictured. I love that my kids are learning what the states look like and where they go and don't even realize it. They're toddlers right now, but they're learning all the time. I like that it's also a refresher for me of the states and capitols. It's a pretty good sized puzzle. It came with all the parts, it shows what the states are known for as well.
In the picture it's missing Florida, that's due to us losing it. Georgia has also seen better days. Our puppy got a hold of that one.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2024I purchased this item for my grandson. I wanted him to learn about our country. We have been having the best time with it. He quickly learned all 50 states, state capitals and various information of each state. I find we learn best when it is presented as a fun activity and not learning as homework. This puzzle allows me to do that. Example: He learned all the states along the east coast first because he could identify with these as we live on the coast. So we started a trip with Maine, ate a Maine lobster, then went to New Hampshire where we drove to the White Mountains and so on. Every day he came home from school and said what are we going to do with my puzzle today! I learned a few things also, it's a win-win. And Melissa and Doug quality, need I say more.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2015This is a great puzzle. Over the years I've purchased a few of them as birthday gifts for various children. As it typical of most Melissa & Doug products that I've encountered, the puzzle is of superior quality...I love the fact that it's constructed of wood. The puzzle pieces and board are extremely well made and are very durable. We've owned ours for over four years now and it is still in excellent condition! Each puzzle piece is about 3/16 of an inch thick. The names of the States are printed on the puzzle pieces, while the names of the capitals of each State is printed on the puzzle board. That way children not only learn the names of the states, and their location within the US, but also the capital of each State. The puzzle consists of 45 pieces--the smaller New England states, share a puzzle piece. For example, MA, RI, and CT all share one puzzle piece. The same is true of a few other north eastern states that are not within NE region. In any event, this is a wonderful puzzle. It's educational and fun, providing children with endless hours of entertainment, while increasing their knowledge about their country. My daughter, who is eight, has one of these puzzles and she loves it. I bought it back in 2011 when she was only 4. My husband and I have completed the puzzle with her many times over the years, and now that she's older she's taken it upon herself to do it with her five year old brother. It's really cute to watch them seriously concentrating while completing the puzzle. :-)
- Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2024I bought this puzzle for my mother who thought Idaho was near Georgia. :) It will serve its purpose to help her learn the states' locations, and the grandkids can use it, also. It's made well. Should bring hours of fun for the whole family!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2024The Melissa & Doug USA Map Wooden Puzzle is another great educational tool. With 45 pieces, it offers a hands-on approach to learning about the United States. The sturdy wooden pieces and vibrant design make this puzzle a fantastic choice for young learners, helping them develop both problem-solving skills and geographical knowledge.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2024This is just a wonderful puzzle , very sturdy ! Just as described.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2024My 3 year old grandchild is matching each state to the easily seen lines on the puzzle. She can recognize the beginning letters of each state and then is able to discover where most of the pieces match with the shapes on the puzzle back. I am pleased with this purchase. The designs are inviting and interesting as are the colors.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2016Kids like puzzles,so why not get them started early and teach them at the same time! I gave this to my 3 year old nephew. My husband said it was wasted money, he was too young. Well, he has since changed his tune. The little boy was intrigued by all the different shapes and bright colors. There is also painted pictures on each state depicting something that relates to the state. Under each state is the name of the capitol city.
My nephew loved this immediately. He studies the pictures, asks the name of the states, and has fun putting the united states back together. He now knows where he lives, where I live, and where various other family members live, When they went on vacay this January, he grabbed his puzzle to see where they were going. He actually grasped the fact that they were going to travel through 3 other states before they got to their Florida house. Hellooo? I know many adults who probably don't know THAT! He is having fun, and has no idea that he is learning so much, When he starts school, he will be ahead of his class, at least in this department. I am very satisfied with the product and the impact this puzzle has made on my nephew. It has proven to be much more than I ever hoped it would be, and it was well worth the money. In today's world, we need to seize every opportunity to share knowledge with the young minds in our family. And we need to catch them before the internet or social media hijacks their little minds! This is truly a learning tool that is fun, who could ask for more?

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I wanted
Easy & entertaining. Just what we wanted, to teach the grandchildren (and us) where all the parts of the USA fit together.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great wood puzzle - Great learning opportunity
My 4 year old and I find this puzzle fun every time we do it. He's learning a lot about the United States, not only where the States are but also on the back their State bird and State flower. Now that it's easy for us to do it we have mini competitions on how quickly we can do it. It's too bad Melissa and Doug hasn't come up with a Europe map - I think that would be a great puzzle to do and learn. I recommend this for 4 and up to adults!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun
I'm a secondary school teacher and I find its a great tool for lunch detentions! I ask the students to put the puzzle tighter then they can leave. Now some students challenge theirselves by trying to beat their 'time'.
