 Great toy -- breaks in a heartbeatAug 20, 2007
By Grant T. Moher
Purchased these for my four year old twins who love puzzles. They worked fine to start, but after a few days they both broke. They weren't subjected to rough play or anything, but now some of the states don't work, and they go off at random times, like when you walk near them, or turn the lights in the room off. I've had to take them out of the kids' rooms because at all hours of the night I would hear "Idaho -- Boise," and "California -- Sacramento." I was extremely dissatisfied with their durability.

 Fun and educationalJun 20, 2008
By D. Bloomfield

I have a 7 year old and twin 4 year olds. I bought it for the 7 year old to work on geography over the summer. All three children love puzzles and love that this puzzle talks. They all use it and it will make learning the US states and capital much easier and more fun. Be careful if you leave it in the family room without the pieces because the lights from the room and TV activate the speaker and the puzzles talks to you all evening long. Keep the puzzle pieces in the puzzle or the puzzle in the closet.

 Counter productiveSep 01, 2011
By RHaislip
I thought the puzzle that gave states as well as their capitols would be great for my 5 year old daughter. I was VERY disappointed when I realized how the map worked. If you put ANY state over the "Texas" sensor the map identifies it as Texas and gives the state capitol as "Austin". No matter what state you place over any particular sensor, the map gives the state and capitol information related to the sensor...not the puzzle piece. My daughter propmtly held up South Dakota after putting it over the Minnesota sensor and proudly proclaimed South Dakota as Minnesota. I will have to turn off the voice portion of the map so my daughter does not get confused. I certainly wouldn't recommend this product.

Do NOT waste your money!!!!Apr 06, 2011
By Puzzle Crazy Mama
I purchased this puzzle in order to help my daughter learn state placement, as well as the capitals of each state. I thought it would be a fun, interactive way to reinforce what we were working on. Well, the puzzle is simply junk. You pull up a state, it gives you the incorrect capital. For example, it randomly starts spitting out states and capitals when you select Florida, it claims you are placing Austin, Texas onto the board. It is extremely confusing for someone who is just learning where each state is located. If you want your child to think that Louisiana is located near Idaho, this is the puzzle for you. Also, some of the states aren't cut individually which adds to the high level of confusion. Please, do not waste you money on the puzzle like I did.

My 3 year old loves it!Jul 28, 2007
By B. Schaaf
I am very impressed with the quality of this puzzle and my daughter loves playing with it. The sound announces the state name and capital city when a piece is placed. Very good for learning geography of the USA.
