Friends offered this puzzle to my little boy of four. An avid puzzle, he plays for hours and know its almost better than us geography! The drawings are beautiful with pleasant and lively colors. The puzzle is made of wood (resistant and very good), with magnetic pieces. We can put the puzzle flat or against a wall (it is very large). When one has not the courage to do the puzzle, you can even invent stories with animals, houses and people drawn on parts (96 parts, it seems ...). My eldest of six year old loves to invent with his brother, each sitting at the puzzle posed vertically. Educationally, this puzzler plenty of work tracks. Definitely recommended !!
