This toy is a great toy for my 4 year old. It is interactive so even after the puzzle is completed my son can spin the gear. The qualify is great and my son enjoys it so much I’m now looking into purchasing another puzzle from the same brand but with the wind up car track

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an intriguing puzzle that keeps my toddler entertained. The fun of putting a puzzle together plus the interesting concept of gears. It is sturdy and has bright, vibrant colors. A little bit challenging to get some of the pieces together, so hopefully the little gear extensions don’t break.
super unique puzzle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My three year old is not great at puzzles, but this is a fun one. His 6 year old brother helps him and they have fun with the gear part. Definitely requires a little out of the box thinking. It's a nice addition to just a regular puzzle!
A great educational toy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son is still learning to move around in his little world of his and is loves trying to play with new toys. This wooden gear puzzle with an underwater theme is so cute and my son instantly loved it and couldn’t stop trying to move the pieces around which he thought was an amazing thing to do. Never seen one like it before and seemed very unique and loads of fun.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I felt like this was two puzzles in one! My daughters loved the ocean theme and puzzle to begin with, but then they were amazed at the spinning gears and understanding how those put into the puzzle and turned.
So much fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 3 year old and I love to do this underwater puzzle together. It’s a fun interactive one with spinning pieces. He has a pretty easy time getting everything together with my guidance. I love that it’s wood so the pieces don’t get bent. I can’t wait to get more!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My grandsons and granddaughter were ecstatic to get this puzzle as they are all ocean animal lovers. The ability of the puzzle pieces to move and interlock with other pieces to make them move was fascinating to my grandkids. The added bonus of them being able to take it all apart to see how it works and put it back together was great! They love this puzzle!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ever since I got this puzzle my 3 yr old has not put it down. I’m not sure what it is he loves about it, prolly because he can move the puzzle pieces themselves without disrupting the puzzle . & not to mention all the vibrant colors & different underwater sea animals . I would recommend
Awesome

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My boys absolutely love puzzles especially wooden puzzles. We have many of them. They are easier for their little hands to grab and handle. They are also much more durable and could last forever. This is a slightly more difficult puzzle and challenged my 3yo just enough to hold his attention and keep him entertained. The gears were so fun for him to spin after completing the puzzle.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My girls love puzzles and anything water related. So, they were super excited when they got this. This is right in our living room on a table and everyday they use it when they come up from school/daycare.
Good young child wooden puzzle.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you have seen Melissa & Doug wooden puzzles before, then you will know what to expect with this one; as it is very similar to others in this category. If you haven't seen these before, then it is a simple flat wooden sheet with puzzle pieces cut into the image as shown in the picture. These are great for young children (e.g. 2yo likes them) and we own several. The quality is good, pieces are solid and I appreciate the wood construction. The print and design of this underwater theme is also really nice and may be one of my favorites. Overall this is a great wooden puzzle for kids. It's a safe bet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This puzzle is very unique in the piece design and overall design. I have three kids aged 3 to 6 and they were fighting over who got to put the puzzle together. They also ended up working together too. I am looking forward to getting more designs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This puzzle is perfect for my littles. I love the cute picture and my kids love to dump it and then put it together and watch the gears turn! This has kept them busy for a good long while! I’m currently trying to get 10 more for them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Melissa and Doug underwater wooden gear puzzle is so cute. It is easy to put together and fun to play with because the puzzles moves where the gears spaced puzzle is. The pictures is on the board so it is really easy to put together and nice.
