Good puzzle with a few drawbacks . This is our first GeoPuzzle. I read the reviews and knew that the pieces, because they are meant to have the shape of the country, would not be interlocking. No problem. What I was surprised by was the fact that the ocean pieces, which are interlocking, are cut such that you can put a piece in the wrong place and have it look like it fits; the holes and knobs seem to be all very similar in size and placement. Additionally, some of the inside pieces have a straight edge that makes them look like they should be an edge piece. Not a big deal if you are using the picture to put the puzzle together (the ocean pieces helpfully have random boats on them so you can tell what goes where by using the picture), but if you are trying to put it together by trial and error (as we were the first time we did it) and using standard puzzle logic that straight pieces are edge pieces, you get messed up pretty quickly. So if your child will likely not use the picture, an adult should be right at hand to correct misplaced pieces until the child gets the hang of where the ocean pieces go. And as other reviewers have noted, some of the pieces are small (1 in by 1/2 in); they do lump 2 or 3 countries together into one piece in a couple of cases, and the islands are all just varying sizes of specks on the ocean pieces. Overall a good puzzle if you want a puzzle that has pieces that correspond to the shape of the country.
GeoPuzzle Latin America Reviews
Excellent . I work with severely handicapped/emotionally disturbed students; many of whom have great difficulty processing lots of information on a page etc. These puzzles are excellent as they are the shape of the country with only the name and capitol imprinted on them. The pieces are sturdy and colorful. I'm delighted with my purchase and the service I received.
GeoPuzzle Latin America Opinions
amazing learning toy . Can I give this more than five stars? I bought all of the GeoPuzzles and cherish them. They are a great family activity. My kids have learned so much world geography from these.
GeoPuzzle . My granddaughter has the Africa puzzle and loved it so I added this for her 5th birthday. I think that these puzzles are great for all ages. They also use the USA puzzle in her school. A good buy.
Geopuzzle . This is a great puzzle for child or adult who wants to learn the locations of countries. Educational, fun, attractive, and sturdy enough. I have several Geopuzzles and am pleased with all of them.
Latin American Puzzle . The puzzle is not made to have a normal shape once put together but nonetheless I believe it will be effective in assisting my students to learn the names of Spanish-speaking countries and their capitals
Great puzzle . We purchased several of these puzzles for our 3 year old son. He loves them. The pieces are large and sturdy. We like that each country is its own piece. It's a great way for kids to learn geography and develop spatial coordination. We have all of the continents that are available. We highly recommend.
My son LOVES these puzzles! . My five year old, map-obsessed son loves these puzzles. He now knows world geography far better than most adults. He and his older brother now take turns pulling a country piece out of the map and seeing if the other can tell which one is missing.
highly recommended with adult supervision . We actually are going to give this to my 3 1/2 year old daughter for Christmas. She has the North American one and it's been a WONDERFUL educational tool. Each state (except a few of the small New England area states) are a separate piece. It has really helped her to learn the location and name of every state, the corresponding capital and even the provinces in Canada. She is learning the bodies of water now. The pieces are only as durable as a regular jigsaw puzzle though. So, you have to watch if they stick them in their mouths or spill milk on them. We have a few "frayed" pieces.
pieces do not stay together . Like the other Geopuzzles, the pieces come apart if you touch them or accidentally move or slide the puzzle while you are putting it together. These puzzles are frustrating for adults, much less 4+ age children.

Also, the pieces are flimsy, particularly for the price.

A very good idea that has been poorly executed.
