Editorial Review :

Little ones will love hearing the realistic crunch sound as they slice through this set of solid, smooth-sanded wooden foods. Complete with 8 beautifully colored food items in 29 pieces, cutting board, and knife. Pieces are held together by Velcro, producing sound when they are 'cut.'

A very good toy

This toy more than met my expectations. My grandson who is three years old loves the challenge of cutting up and reassembling the fruits and vegetables and the fun of having imaginary picnics. It is also a great introduction to numbers and fractions and encourages healthy eating habits.

Great for 2-year-old helpers!

My 2-year-old loves this set and plays with it every day! She always wants to help in the kitchen, but there are only a few things she can safely do. This set was a great way for her to learn to cut things. Now she can help me chop soft things.

Fun Food

My granddaughter loved it and so did the adults. The only problem was a mis-shipment which delayed its arrival a few days. It's very educational as well as indestructible. It even sounds like you are cutting food because the wooden knife slices through velcro. Very cleaver.

Warning, dont add water

My 2 and 4 year olds got this for Christmas, and decided to make vegetable soup. And whats vegetable soup without a little (or lot) of water. 30 mins later, the paint is peeling off all the tomatoes and carrots and the whole box has to be thrown away. Im suprised this hasnt come up in any of the 100+ reviews, maybe I have the only kids who extensively use water when they're playing with food. They rinse, they boil, they wash and these pieces cannot handle water.

Im sure this is a great quality toy, but not for the way my kids play. Also, the pieces are heavy and hurt when dropped on toes.

Does NOT come with two knives/cutting boards

I just want to say that this product does NOT come with two knives and two cutting boards like one of the featured reviews indicated. That review was written in 2002 and maybe it came with two then but it doesn't now. This is a significant con for me.

That been said, my sons ages 18 months old and 3 years old both love this toy. Wonderful idea! My older son loves to "help" me in the kitchen and sometimes I just don't have time to let him. The food cutting box is just what I needed. He cuts his veggies while I cut mine and I can actually get dinner cooked. It makes cooking dinner quality time for us since I'm not stressing out because I'm not getting done what I need to do. Anything that improves the mood gets my vote.

Good quality, fast shipping

I was reluctant to buying the toy due to some negative feedback but it's been over a month and a lot of cubing and it's still whole and going. If you don't force it and abuse it it'll hold and not explode in your face:) The only thing that I wish the makers would do is make the cubes permanently coloured....after a lot of cubing one of the yellow stickers is starting to peel off...

I would reccommend this product because it's a lot of fun and the seller was really fast with sending it

very cool!!

This 4x4 is really smooth and really fun!! It is also easy to take apart and put back together, but it only comes aprt if you WANT it to come apart. I noticed some people wrote that it "exploded", if that does happen, you can always look up on youtube.com on how to put it back together. It's really easy and really fun. I recomend getting it. It is a perfect addition to any rubik's collection!!

Fun and Educational

Rubiks Cubes are challenging and fun at the same time. The Rubiks Cube Revenge adds another level of challenge than the Rubiks Cube making it all the more fun. This is a good investment either for a gift to a child or fiend or even yourself.

Want Challenge? Get the Professor

Got the Revenge with the Professor. It is a good stepping stone for the Professor version. Learn a few more tricks, but the Professor is more fun.

Editorial Review :

The date is 1974. The place is Budapest, Hungary. Erno Rubik, an admirer of geometry and 3-D forms creates the world's most perfect -- and addictive -- puzzle. More than three decades later the Rubik's cube is still one of the best selling brainteasers. Whether it was full size or the smaller keychain version almost every child had this puzzle by in 1980 when it found worldwide success. Elementary school kids were seen solving it with their feet on "That's Incredible!", conspiracy theorists believed it was an Eastern bloc tactic to distract American youth from getting an education, and Cubaholics Anonymous was formally established to help cure the compulsive need to solve it.

Each side is just over 2", while each sticker is about ½" square.

For all of the hullabaloo, the Rubik's Cube actually has a pretty straightforward premise. The faces of the cube are covered by nine stickers in six solid colors (one for each 2.25" side); when the puzzle is solved, each face is one solid color. Then you realize as you turn the rows and columns and see all the colors flash by that there are 43 quintillion possible pattern combinations (that's 43 million millions), but just one right one. Maybe Cubaholics Anonymous wasn't such a bad idea after all….

This Rubik's Cube has reflective red, white, blue, yellow, green, and orange colored stickers with an official twenty-fifth anniversary sticker in the center white square. The cube is packaged in a clear hexagon box and includes a black display stand. There is also a solutions hint and game suggestion book, just in case.

Above average quality, stickers may come off as you use, mine is still intact. Found tutorial videos on youtube which made me buy this.

Back to the Future...

The cube remind me of myself twenty years ago!

Got couple of cheapo cubes ($1, $2 versions) and the original is still the best!

The only reason why I did not give it a higher star is the Cube Professor is a WAY better challenge. I only play the 3x3x3 when my daughter requests it.

A Classic Memory

I've had a few over the years and understand the difference between good quality and poor quality units.

This one is top quality, turns nicely, is solid and have had no issues what so ever. It feels just like the original to me.

Vibrant and fun!

This puzzle has beautiful, vibrant colors. The pieces are large enough that I don't think we'll will lose them - like every other puzzle in the house. My son and I enjoyed putting it together for the first time - and he loves all the fish, including the "nemo" fish.

Great Puzzle

Our 4 year old grandson is great with puzzles. The 24 piece ones are very easy for him. We wanted to challenge him, over 24 pcs, but not 100 pcs which he gives up. This puzzle is big and of hard cardboard. Its lots of fun for us watching his expressions when we put it together and talk about the different fish. You can't go wrong with Melissa & Dough Puzzles.

Fun Activity to do with the whole Family

I bought this puzzle to do with my 3 1/2 yr. old son, and we love it! He still needs a little help and can't do it by himself, but it has been a fun activity that helps him learn and develop his thinking skills!

Beautiful puzzle for teaching sea creatures

My eighteen-month-old son and I love pouring over the beautiful scene in this puzzle. He points to the different creatures and has his favorites, such as the clownfish (thanks to Nemo) and the sharks. We've had this puzzle for about one month, and he is just learning to put the pieces together with some prompting. I think we will enjoy this toy for many more years. It is just as attractive to adults as toddlers.

Great puzzle

My son loves this puzzle and works it over and over. The picture is bright and engaging. The pieces are easy to put together for his age - 7 years. And it is easy to figure out which ones go to this puzzle when they get mixed in with other puzzle pieces. That's a good thing from my parent-position.

Great toy!

I purchased these puzzles for my 18 month old daughter. At first, she was just interested in dumping all the pieces onto the ground, but now she loves them. It has helped her to learn to match colors & she's developed a bit more patience, she doesn't get mad if she can't get it to fit right away. I definitely recommend this item!

Horrible, took the puzzles away from my 14 month old son

Terrible design. All the pieces are the same and the pegs are very small and a choking hazard. For the animal puzzle, all the pieces are just the hind quarters; not very interesting. I love Melissa and Doug products and purchased other chunky puzzles, stacking shapes, and magnets. Very disappointed and surprised. I actually thought they may be couterfeit. Don't be pulled in by the value pricing.

Great Toy, but don't buy

This is a GREAT toy and what a value! I want to be very fair to Amazon because they have not "done me wrong" before. I ordered this and the other Melissa & Doug Puzzle bundle for a birthday present. I have ordered it before and it is a fantastic toy, LOVE Melissa & Doug puzzles. I received the wrong order twice. Apparently, Amazon takes apart the puzzle bundle so I only received one of the puzzles. I returned it and they replaced it only with the same issue, just one puzzle. I followed up with customer service and they got back to me saying they no longer have a puzzle bundle that hasn't been separated. Maybe they will eventually refill their stock, but until then don't waste your time. I'm surprised they are still selling the items. Amazon is usually pretty responsible.

For at least 18mo.

I bought the pazzles for my 14mo boy. The colors and graphs are really nice and I like them. But my son still can't enjoy them yet. He tried to put the pieces back onto the board, but couldn't figure out how just yet. Then he got frustrated and started to throw the pazzle. I'll try to introduce them to him again when he gets a little older, maybe at 18 month.

Great puzzles

These are great puzzles. It makes my 2 year old really think about what animal bottoms go with what animal tops, because some of the animals are similar colors. They also don't have pictures on the bottom on the board when you take the piece out making it more difficult.
