Melissa & Doug Wooden Magnetic Matching Picture Game With 119 Magnets and Scene Cards

My two year old loves to play with this in his toddler tower. It keeps him entertained for twenty minutes at a time. There are some smaller pieces so he only plays at his tower to keep away from baby sister.

My toddler loves this toy! The magnets hold up well to the carrier and I love the different scenes you can create on it. So far it has held up well, a couple rips in our scenes from a toddler who had to learn to be gentle. Ours came with all the pieces and the carrier holds everything so well and with so much room you could probably add more magnets. There are a lot of pieces to keep track of and some are very little! Definitely a great purchase and value as my toddler has played with this for hours. Entertainment for a great price is always a good deal!

Great toy

Not exactly what I expected. I think the kiddos will still like it. I guess i expected the backgrounds to actually cling to the surface and for the pieces to be a bit smaller. It doesn't take too many pieces to fill the board.

Okay I just recieved this toy/game and my daughters (3yrs. and 5yrs.) Love it. I love the fact that it's magnetic and the pieces don't fall off or move around unless the girls move them. The only concern I had was since it has small pieces this might not be the best toy for your child if you have babies around because they could easily be swallowed etc. (Unless of course their in hard to reach places etc.)

My son is 2 yrs old and absolutely loves these magnets, it keeps him occupied for a while. The quality is great! He does imaginative play with the background. It has also helped him learn new animals.

I had this delivered to my grandchildren, so I haven’t seen it in person. However, I did see it today via video call, and it is not what I expected. Even my daughter was perplexed.I Interpreted the photo as shown online as a briefcase-style wood box, where the cover opens at an angle. In the cover’s cavity, I expected that each of the four picture cards would fit perfectly. It was not clear which surfaces are magnetic but I assumed that the kids could either stick on the pieces to match in the cover or build it in the box base. Not so. This not a hinged box. There’s what looks like a slide-on wood cover, but there is no apparent way to stand the picture cards on it,. However, I’ve looked at the photos again and now see what I didn’t notice before. The cover is actually leaning out of slots in the bottom. My mistake, although my daughter did not observe these slots in person. Also, in the straight on view of the cards, they appear to be the same size, but they are not. One fits perfectly in the box, and the other three are smaller. Obviously the puzzle pieces are too large to fit on the smaller cards, so we adjusted our expectations for this set and assumed the large card is for practice, with the smaller as reference for arranging the associated pieces in the box.Still, none of these discrepancies kept the kids from playing with it. The almost four-year old was happily matching pieces to the large card, while the newly two-year old was mostly interested in removing them from the box. With instruction, he was also able to find pieces and match them to the large card.In conclusion, the set is not what I expected, but not a total loss either. Ordinarily I closely examine items before I buy, but I must have been asleep at the wheel on this one. I also think it’s as a little pricey for what it is, and would not have bought it for that reason, except that my grandchildren were sick and stuck at home last week. They love puzzles of any kind, and I sent it as a distraction, hoping to give my daughter (also sick) a little quiet time.

My 4 year old niece loves this set, easy to use, very creative as all Melissa and Doug products are very well made
