This puzzle does not make the correct sounds when items are placed in the slots. It works based on magnets so sometimes the lion will squawk like a parrot or the crocodile neighs like a zebra because the pieces crossed over the other animal on their way to the proper slot. Once in the slot, I've even tried lifting the pieces and replacing it directly over the animal slot, but it will not make a noise. Unless I got a defective puzzle, this product is no good. It is great in theory and I was so excited that I almost bought a whole set when I first came across them. Now I'm glad I waited to see how my son liked this one. It is unfortunate because I'm usually a big fan of Melissa & Doug toys. Would not recommend and won't be buying any other Melissa &Doug sound puzzles.

The sound doesn’t work properly. Some animals don’t work at all. Others only work whenever they decide to. Upsets my son when he can’t get it to work which I’m turn leads to a frustrated mama hiding the toy lol. I will be returning it.

SOUNDS DON’T WORK. Parrot and Zebra make no sounds at all and the other animals are hit or miss.

Hi there. Our sound puzzles are light-activated, once new batteries have been installed, it’s best to use the puzzle in a brightly lit room. When you remove a puzzle piece from the board, you’ll see a little circle, which is the light sensor, when you place the puzzle piece back on the board you should be able to hear the sound. If playing with your puzzle in a well-lit room does not make each piece “sound off” consistently, please give us a call at 800-718-5365 and we'll be more than happy to help you. Please have the puzzle nearby when you call so that we can get some information from the puzzle itself. Thanks, Your Friends at Melissa and Doug

Doesn’t work. It doesn’t make the animal sounds at all or the wrong animal sounds happen randomly. Disappointed since I love this toy brand.

When you remove a puzzle piece from the board, you’ll see a little circle, which is the light sensor.

Came a little scratched up, which is fine. I knocked off 2 stars because overall I feel that this puzzle is flimsy compared to other wooden Melissa & Doug puzzles. The animal pieces are thin wood, and the noises sound a little muffled. I do like that I can turn the noise on and off. Its fine for the price, it wasn't very expensive. I'll stick to the plain, thick wooden puzzles next time.

If it were just a regular wooden puzzle I would give it 5 stars because it is sturdy wood, colorful, and easy for little hands to hold. For this price though I could’ve gotten a pack of nice wooden puzzles. But I bought this one because I liked the idea of the animal sounds. Sadly they do not work 90% of the time. And when the sounds do go off it’s at the most random moment. I’d return it but my son lost the zebra.

My 20 month old is OBSESSED with these sound puzzles! They get played with daily, and entertain her forever. They seem to be very durable, the sounds are very realistic which I love. I don't like that the sensors for the sounds are so sensitive, sometimes sounds go off just when there is a reflection in the window. Otherwise, it's a super cute toy and so worth it!
