Orchard Toys Big Aeroplane Floor Puzzle

Well made, thick and strongWould recommend

I bought this puzzle for my 2 year at Christmas. He loves double decker buses...and he loves his puzzle! He has aced it. 2.5 year old and can do the whole puzzle himself. This is purely because of the subject in the puzzle itself! Fabulous! I think the Easter bunny may bring the digger puzzle!

2 year old granddaughter loves this jigsaw and wants to play with it on a regular basis

Bought this for my 2 1/2 year old grandson. It’s too difficult for him to put together ( even I struggle if I’m trying to put it together quickly ) but I’m sure as he gets older it will get easier. Once assembled he loves it. It fits nicely on our coffee table and he likes to climb up next to it to talk about what’s going on in the picture. It’s so big and detailed that he tries to put his playmobile people on it as if they are in the plane. It holds his attention longer than most games he has probably because he uses his playmobile characters. It’s also a good educational game talking about how many wheels, men with red hats, etc and going on holiday. I will wait until he’s older before buying another one when he can put it together himself, but the bright bold colours and nice sturdy pieces make this a great purchase.

I am really pleased with the actual item, when it eventually arrived which I purchased as a birthday present for my grandson.original order placed 15/10/12 with estimated delivery 20/10/12. 25/10/12 after advising of none delivery replacement ordered,estimated delivery 27/10/12. when this date passed and still no delivery I was advised to wait until 3/11/12!!HOWEVER, I was extremely disappointed with the delivery service which was late, when I contacted the vendor to advise I was told a replacement would be dispatched... which also didin't arrive on the estimated delivery date. I again advised the vendor who told me to wait some additional number of days. Then TWO arrived at exactly the same time. I was then put to the trouble of having to reseal the packaging and visit...and queue at my local post office to return the extra item, when the reason I had done my shopping on-line was to avoid the hassle. When I contacted the vendor..AMAZON... I was sent a standard email reply-VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.. As a result I am more wary about my purchases through Amazon and in some instances have shopped elsewhere.

Having had nothing but positive experiences with Orchard Toys, I had no hesitation in adding this to our collection, when my 2 year-old grandson kept pointing out buses when we were out in the car. And he loves it!The pieces are nice and big, so are perfect for small hands to manipulate. And the great bonus is that it offers so much more than simply fitting puzzle pieces together.There’s a lot of detail to look at and talk about, and the box offers helpful tips on how to encourage discussion and observation.Just a warning to people who might be expecting a traditionally shaped puzzle with four corners and straight edges: you won’t find that here! But because of the large size of the pieces, I really don’t think it matters, although I admit it did throw me at first. Nevertheless, still deserving of five stars.Thanks for reading my review. I hope you found out helpful. Check out my profile page for more reviews of toddler books and puzzles and educational toys and games.

I find orchard toys puzzles to sit nice and flat and fit together smoothly. The pictures always have a good overlap and I find that the age ratings are spot on. My just turned 2 year old is particularly good at puzzles and can do this puzzle by himself with a nice amount of challenge. His older siblings like to help sometimes too. He is delighted when he completes it and studies the picture - there is lots to talk about and practice words with. We have had it for a few weeks and he wants to build it and the others we have most days, often more than once! So if your child is into puzzles or fun pictures you will get great value out of this puzzle.

My son enjoys it
