The Learning Journey: Match It! - Counting - 30 Piece Self-Correcting Number & Learn to Count Puzzle - Preschool Learning Toys - Award Winning Toys

A mi hija le encanto, el material, colores, dibujos están super amigables y atraen a los niños a jugar.

I got this puzzle for a boy who has just turned 4. He plays with numbers 1-10 only so far as that is what he had been introduced to and it definitely helps him to practice number recognition and counting (he does not attempt to assemble random pieces but it definitely is useful that this puzzle is a self-correct type). The pictures and the print are good quality, the colors are vibrant, the pieces are pretty sturdy and fit well together when they should, do not fit at all when they shouldn’t. My only complaint is that there is nothing to make it easier for kids to tell which side of a number piece is the top and which is the bottom - for kids who don’t know the numbers names and shapes by heart yet, it may be difficult to easily spot the difference between 6 and 9 for example - obviously, they will eventually see that it is on the wrong side if they try to put them together but there should be no confusion at all. I wish there was a black line or something on the bottom of each piece for that reason (also, an almost 3 year old girl who likes to join her brother in play, ends up putting the pieces /connected pairs/ sideways or upside down... the line would help her, too) I was able to fix that issue myself though, using sharpies :)

Great game for colour matching and counting. Ideal for age 2/3 yrs

Reason for purchase: After moving 4 hours away from my 3 year old (turning 4 this month) godson I started thinking outside the box. I researched STEM toy & book subscription boxes & found the age gap was too wide to consistently get age appropriate toys/books. I decided to make my own. I feel it necessary to disclose this is a time consuming project & it can be as inexpensive or expensive in price as you choose. It's entirely dependent on you. In my box: The Crayons: A Set of Books and Finger Puppets & The Learning Journey: Match It! - Counting - Self-Correcting Number & Learn to Count Puzzle. Product Review: The Learning Journey: Match It! - Counting - Self-Correcting Number & Learn to Count Puzzle was an inexpensive toy that went well with The Crayons Book of Numbers book. It's a simple but effective toy to practice numbers. My godson's interest in the toy seems to have limited entertainment value. Anytime a book about numbers is on the story time agenda the toy is used. He'll listen to the story wait for the numbers & pull out that puzzle card to show his mother or me via facetime he understands the number 2 is correspondent to the #2 puzzle & so on. I suspect the toy's limited shelf life is being extended by the learn your number type books. Recommendation: I'm not sure how interesting the toy would be alone in your household. I wouldn't recommend the toy as a gift. It was simply packaged & truly unimpressive alone. For my purposes I give it a 5 star rating.

Me gustó mucho la calidad del material. Son las primeras piezas de rompecabezas que mi hijo puede juntar sin que se maltraten. Lo recomiendo mucho
