Lots of fun, very well made

I bought these for my 3-year-old on her birthday. She played with them immediately and has since. The only reason I did not give the toy 5 stars is that there are not enough pattern cards and it has become a little simple for her.

This is like ten puzzles in one...

If you are looking for the most bang for your buck...this is the ticket. Helps reinforce shapes and colors while offering five double sided different picture puzzles. Hours of learning fun that never gets boring!

10 puzzles in one

We have this toy in my home child care. It's great for very young children who are begining to be able to match shapes, and the older just like the process of completing the picture. With 5 boards with designs on each side, that's 10 puzzles altogether.
