This is a perfect puzzle/toy/game for preschoolers, special needs kids, etc. They are very durable, washable, will last!! You can use them as puzzles, use the small pieces for sorting & counting, use the numbers to teach counting & writing numbers, the puzzle boards can be used as stencils...the possibilities are endless for a seemingly 'simple' idea. These are great, & a must-have!
Fun and Educational!

My daughter loves these mini-puzzles, as she calls them. Each has a number from 1-10 with the same amount of things, from apples to fishies. They really help her learn to count and know her numbers and she will sit and do them for an hour at times.
Great in every way!

This seems like a simple toy that kids might get bored with, but no! It keeps the attention of kids from toddler age up to about 5. Great for counting, sorting, fine motor, vocabulary. It does have a lot of little pieces, but since my kids have been so engaged with it, and putting the pieces back in is the whole point, the kids have been amazingly self-monitoring about keeping track of the parts! Now on its 5th kid, my toddler is using 1, 2 and 3 and will move on to other numbers soon. Highly recommended-- few toys offer this much learning and fun for the price.
Worth the money to learn #s

This a a cheaper educational way to learn numbers. It has helped my 3 year old daughter learn her numbers in just a couple of weeks. Very reasonably priced toy.
Wonderful puzzles with some really small pieces...

Just be aware that each puzzle is not very big so the pieces to the higher numbers are rather small. The company does replace parts so this is a minor issue unless you have other children in your household that are still putting things in their mouths. This did not occur to me while reading the description or reviews. I was so impressed with the reviews that I overlooked the dimensions. I was going to purchase it for a relative's child but decided to keep it for my own kids once I considered the age range of her household. On the upside manipulating the smaller pieces will improve your child's dexterity. So, this is a great educational puzzle with a great texture and easy to clean, durable material that does have several small pieces.
