MudPuppy Map of the U.S.A. Puzzle

What is great about this map is that each state has identifiable pictures that characterize the state, the back of each piece has facts and there are alternating colors for assembly. This puzzle is challenging for a child anywhere between 4- 8 years of age. It is a great learning tool for home-school and family fun. My kid really likes it because of the special pictures and facts. Also due to the fact that this is not a regular jigsaw type but connects via smooth lines it gives kids practice on different types of puzzles,,, it makes it a bit more challenging.

Great materials, high quality, excellent design 😍

After reading some reviews saying they didn’t like how the puzzle didn’t snap together I thought about returning this puzzle. I am so glad I didn’t!! I love that the pieces are shaped like states. Once you put together the outside of the puzzle the states fit perfectly into place, and it is so fun having the pieces shaped like states! I have even learned quite a bit about the shape of states from this puzzle :-) And the illustrations and colors are so great, they make me happy while I’m putting the puzzle together—and they teach you something about each state. I would definitely recommend this puzzle, it is great quality. Each piece has a nice feel to it too, not a cheap shiny feel, but a good matte finish. I am confident this puzzle will last a long time. I want to buy more from Mudpuppy now that we have this puzzle.

This is a great puzzle for children to learn the layout of the U.S. Pieces are easy to maneuver and put together. The only feature I wish it contained is actual interlocking pieces so the puzzle would stay together, unfortunately it doesn't, so if some pieces move, others do as well. But, other than that, it's a great puzzle.

After having this puzzle for a couple of weeks, my three year old son is now able to assemble it by himself. He knows the shapes of all the states, and knows where each one of them goes on the map. Please note that my son absolutely loves puzzles. He'll spend hours each day doing them, and re-doing them. This is a very fun activity and educational. The pieces hold up well and are very durable. Each state shows the capital and also includes the nickname of each state on the back as well.
