The jumbo Underwater Floor Puzzle features beautiful original artwork that depicts a deep ocean scene. Kids can learn about different kinds of fish and other creatures that make the ocean their home, as well as recognize some of their favorites including jellyfish, and sharks.

Warped pieces as one other reviewer described. The pieces didn’t lock together well and were wrinkled.

I start doing puzzles young in my daycare, I just wish they all had names or a paper in with the pieces that labeled the different animals. My 3 yo charge knows all the planets because of the solar system puzzle. I wrote names on the dinosaur puzzle box. Now I'm looking up the names for the underwater fish.

Got this among many other Melissa and Doug toys for my grandbaby for Christmas and this puzzle has been his go to favorite so far. Excellent colors and edges. I do however wish there was a larger picture of the full puzzle rather than the small cut out size on the top front corner of the box. Very hard to see the full puzzle but still FIVE STARS
Great for a three year old!

Too bad the cover is not the image shown here! I have the same complaints that I wrote for the Solar System puzzle. A lot of promotion material on the box which competes with the puzzle picture. The only full pictures of the puzzle for a child to use as a guide are mixed in with package information which it makes hard for a child to visually read! My suggestion is to use the full image on the top of the box for reference and the other 4 sides for advertising the lovely values of the puzzle!
