sturdy and fun

We LOVE our new 'On the Farm' puzzle for many reasons. We appreciate the sturdiness of the pieces, the bright colors and lovable characters. We gave this puzzle to my daughter for her second birthday and she plays with it almost every day. She loves to identify the animals and help mommy put the pieces together....and her favorite part...dumping it out to start all over again! :)
