Durable learning tool . Took this product to Africa to share with African teachers, who had never done a jigsaw puzzle - ever! They loved it! Different colors of countries on puzzle makes it very appealing. Pieces were tough and thick. None were tiny. Some were small and for age 5 and under, could be lost if not careful. But the joy on their faces made it all worth while.

GeoToys Africa & The Middle East GeoPuzzle Reviews
learning the world . These puzzles are great for getting your geography straight...helps get all those countries you've heard of and THOUGHT you knew where they were
in place. Because the puzzle pieces are cut along country lines you are much more aware of size, borders etc. My grandkids liked them; my son said, "We ought to put these together once a month;" and I enjoyed doing them too.

GeoToys Africa & The Middle East GeoPuzzle Opinions
Excellent for all ages! . I purchased this puzzle for my three and four year old daughters. When I first opened it I was a bit skeptical that they would be able to do it(it took me a bit to figure out). Once we did it together a couple of times, they now know where a majority of the pieces go and love putting it together! They are also able to name some of the larger countries.Not only are my daughters learning, but myself as well!! This is a great product and I plan on buying the rest of the collection as well.

Wonderful learning tool . This is a wonderful learning tool. Sadly, due to this puzzle and a globe I keep in his room, my 2 1/2 year old is more knowledgeable of African countries than I am. In a good way. Durable, brightly colored and fun to do (over and over), we come back to this puzzle quite a bit.
The best available . This is great fun even if you're not a kid anymore! There are a couple small puzzle piece edges that fray quickly from being awkward shapes, but I feel they did the best they could without resorting to wood. Just as a forewarning, yes most pieces are shaped like countries, but very small countries are tacked on to larger ones, and awkward extensions of certain countries are separated. Thus if you use the puzzle as a memory aid, places like Malawi or Eritrea can be easily overlooked.
Unfortunately, so much more information could have been encoded in the puzzle by overlaying a physical map; learn deserts and mountain ranges rather than "Oh, Chad is that big red piece." Nonetheless, I give the product high marks because it's the best available currently.

Great puzzle . I homeschool, and while we were working on an Africa unit, I purchased this puzzle to help my daughter better learn the geography of the continent. The pieces and the box have held up with all the handling, and I would recommend this item.
Terrific Puzzle for Geography . This toy was used in a mixed 5-8 geography class for a contest. The students loved it ,and they learned the countries placement using it.
I plan to buy the others in the series.

Wonderful puzzle . I bought this puzzle for my 2 and 4 year olds. We LOVE this puzzle. Sure, they need help putting it together but that is no big deal. It is a great learning tool. They are learning the location of all the countries as well as their names and capitals. They also learn about which seas and oceans are where.
As one reviewer noted, the pieces do not stay in place like regular puzzles. This is a bonus for me. I think it is better that the pieces are the actual shapes of the countries (which aren't shaped like traditional puzzle pieces). As long as you are putting the puzzle together on a flat surface rather than carpet you should have no trouble keeping them together. My two year old occasionally gets frustrated that they move a little until you get them all together but my 4 year old, and certainly any adults with patience, are able to handle this.

GREAT for my 4-year-old son! . My 4-year-old who LOVES all things map-related was able to do this puzzle by himself within a week or so. He has learned almost all of the country names now (3-4 weeks later) as well as bodies of water, simply by assembling the puzzle! The countries are mostly individual pieces, which is very helpful in teaching them the specific shapes, locations, and sizes of individual countries. The pieces are quite durable and easy to fit together. A GREAT gift for any kid who likes geography (or who resists it, such as my daughter...). Recommended.
I have a bright 3 yr old son who LOVES this puzzle . Pieces are smaller than I expected, but that was okay with me. I just hope we don't lose any pieces.
