Solar System Floor Puzzle

My son (3 years old) absolutely loves this puzzle He pulls it out and asks us to do it with him almost everyday He's a very active and rough little boy and this puzzle has stood up wonderfully There are no bent broken or torn pieces even though it's been put together at least once a day (sometimes more) every day for the last 6 months (something I can't say for all puzzles we've had) Not only is this puzzle fun but it's also a great educational tool My son knows the names & locations of all the planets the moon and the sun We put it together & then I'll ask where a planet (or the moon or sun) is & he'll stand on it Sometimes I'll point to a planet & ask him what it is and he'll tell me the name Then I ask where we live & he jumps on Earth & yells "Earth!" very loudly It's so fun to watch He has a very short attention span & rarely spends more than a few minutes on anything However he'll happily spend 20-30 minutes (or more) playing with this puzzle This is the best way I can think of to teach a young child something like the planets They get to be active involved and it's FUN! Even my 9 year old daughter enjoys doing this puzzle It's one of the few things the two of them can do together quietlyThis is a great product & more than worth the price especially if you have more than one child We've enjoyed this so much that some of my nieces & nephews may be receiving one for Christmas this year!
