1. It is a little tough in that the pieces don’t link like a normal jigsaw because they’re shaped like the various states. Essentially they just are flat sides that lay next to each other. Because of this, the pieces can shift around with a wiggly child and that can make it tough getting everything to fit smoothly if your child is impatient.
2. The pieces are a cardboard material, like most puzzles. They’re thick enough to be pretty sturdy but because some of the pieces are so long or large I foresee some of these getting bent, particularly with smaller children. I know my daughter held one piece in her hand and pushed it into the couch while leaning on the couch and bent one. Still usable, but not perfect now.
3. The size of the pieces and pictures are nice for any age to work with. The areas with smaller states all bunched together are one puzzle piece so you’re not trying to finagle a tiny piece in somewhere.
4. The colors and pictures are holding up well so far, but I did notice one piece on the red sign that seems to have some specs of color coming off. See my picture.
5. I like that they have a picture of something significant related to that state for most states - a talking point I can have with my child about various items. This picture also gives my child, who cannot read yet, some way of identifying the states without looking at the name. However, note that not all states have a picture. Where the state is too small, they’ve omitted a picture. This is understandable based on space, but a bit disappointing for me because I lose that teaching moment for some states. Overall, not a big deal.
6. Being from Michigan, I’m frustrated on what MI looks like. That’s not a mitten! The other states mostly look pretty accurate to their shapes. See some of my pictures for a good view.
Overall this is another quality Melissa and Doug product, but is it perfect? No. I’m glad I purchased this, and the kids seem to enjoy it which is what really matters.

Some of the states are grouped together on one piece, which I don't love, but I do understand why its done with some of the smaller states. Because of this though, he can name most every state except CT, DE, NH, VT, RI.. all the small ones that appear in the NE and Mid-Atlantic grouped state pieces. I haven't seen any other puzzles that compare though, or do all the states separately for this age group.
The puzzle is BIG. He has puzzles of various sizes and enjoys the BIG ones the most, so that is a plus too.
This is a really great, fun puzzle for learning the states and sparking conversations about them. I strongly recommend. BTW my toddler got this some time in late spring/early summer when he was 2.5 years old. He is now 3 and a few months. This puzzle has gotten tons of use and love during that time and is holding up. Not low quality materials.

大きくて州の形で暗記しました。この頃は裏側を見ただけで州がわかるようになりました。
残念なのは、州都より、大都市がのっていないこと。例えば、ラスベガス、シカゴ、サンフランシスコ、etc・・・・
でも、大変気に入っています。
