Good idea, bad execution
April 26, 2021
The concept is great, but the execution is lacking. The noises are "light sensored" so they don't work well in dim light rooms and can randomly go off if a hand or the wrong piece covers the sensor. Would be better if it was pressure based or magnet based. Not sure I would recommend...

My 2 yr old loves puzzles and cars so this gift was perfect. We go over sounds, play games with it, and name all of the vehicles.

Great Puzzle
September 18, 2020
Great puzzle! My grandchild can easily take out pieces with the little knobs. He is learning names of vehicles and their sounds. He is also learning how to fit the pieces into the puzzle.

Love it
August 26, 2020
This puzzle is great and our two year old loves it. The only thing I'd change is the fact that when one sound starts it won't change when you place another piece down until it's played through.

❤️ The Sound Puzzle ❤️
June 30, 2020
I bought an assortment of chunky puzzles for my 8-year-old special needs grandson. My daughter said he loves them all, but especially LOVES this one with sound. Hope you provide more options with sound in the near future so I can get more for him. His therapists use them too.❤️

I use these weekly!
March 28, 2020
As a Registered Art therapist and Certified Community Specialist, and doctoral candidate in Health Psychology I use all of the wooden "Sound" puzzles I can find by Melissa and Doug! I keep watching for new ones! Many of my clients are Autism-diagnosed and I use these puzzles with all ranges on the spectrum.
My newest puzzle was a Christmas gift from one of my parents of an awesome Autism-diagnosed son. It's silent, but has many hinged doors with a surprise behind each image! My clients really like this one even though it is silent.
I must confess, when I am driving to visit with my clients at home I have heard the puzzle sirens going off and was certain I was being pulled over by the police or needed to pull over for an ambulance. Then when the Lion roars, or the monky makes his happy little sounds, the cat meow's, or the elephant calls out...I remember it's all of the puzzles in the back of my car...and I smile!
Thank you Melissa and Doug for making my "job" and driving a happier place to be ;-)

Great for a little while
November 16, 2019
This puzzle was great! Hours of entertainment...then the batteries died. I replaced them, and nothing. I read other comments and used in a brightly lit area but still nothing. So upsetting to a small child that doesn't understand since they saw me put new batteries in. To kids, it should just work.

Love the puzzle, but sound delay is frustrating
November 11, 2019
I have several of these puzzles and a few of them are sound puzzles. I'm frustrated my the Friday in sound that we do not experience with the other sound puzzles. My daughter does not understand why they don't all make noise when she does something and just walks away from it. She loves puzzles so this makes me sad. I'm not sure if this is a dud so it's not as responsive as the others or what.

Good but sensors were switched and vehicles have wrong sound
October 23, 2019
I love it but the sounds for the train and ambulance are switched. I think someone in production messed up the sensor. Otherwise it's a Fab toy.

I would buy again for older kid who understand sound delay
June 2, 2019
I have almost all of your sound puzzles. This one is great but the delay of the sound is frustrating to a small person. All other puzzles have sound when piece is lifted. This puzzle- you lift piece wait and wait put piece back wait then the sound occurs. So technically it works but my grandson has put piece back and picked up another before sound begins, therefore sound is not related to puzzle piece he has in his hand...a bit confusing after being a bit frustrating. So you understand why I gave it a 2 star rating.

Hi, I'm very disappointed! I bought it last week, it is not working, never had a sound and when we obtain one, 5min after adding a piece, it's not the good one, boat in place of fire truck or motorcycle for helicopter!

My grandson got it for his birthday yesterday. He just started to put it together for the second time and it would not work. I changed the batteries although they were brand new. It still doesn't work properly. Only a few of the vehicles make the sounds.

Bought this at AC Moore for my 3 year old. It does not work properly. The sounds go off randomly, not when you put the puzzle piece in. Also only does maybe 4 sounds instead of 9. Not sure if the magnets are supposed to line up or not, but they do not on our puzzle. Very disappointed.

It's ok, but won't buy any puzzle with sound from them again
November 6, 2017
Sounds start even if you place wrong pieces on top off slots, they last too long and won't switch to a new one untill old one is finished. And the worst is it goes off by itself whenever it feels like it, even when noone is near, during nap time, at night

So frustrating
July 11, 2017
First I had to buy a tiny screwdriver to get to the battery compartment.
Second the screw stripped almost immediately
Third i would never buy these again.
There must be a way to make changing batteries easier

Purchased this puzzle for my grandsons last week. The sounds are not consistent. I've changed the batteries twice. Actually bought 4 of the sound puzzles & none of them work properly. So very disappointed. Had heard great things about these products.

Very cheaply made
May 25, 2015
I had an unpleasant surprise when I bought this puzzle : the pieces are unpolished and due to this it's hard to put some pieces at their place ; another issue is that when my boy put a piece in the wrong place it still makes the sound, and this it's very confusing.

Not impressed
September 21, 2014
I was excited when I got this because I wanted to teach my son about different vehicles and their sounds. The idea is good but the operation is lacking. First, the puzzle will sound no matter what piece you use. It doesn't have to match. Thus makes it difficult to teach him which vehicle makes which sound. Second, the board is super sensitive. It will literally go off randomly, even when you aren't using it. Third, the materials are kind of flimsy. Maybe my expectations were too high. I was disappointed.

Got this for my 2 year old grand-nephew. It's durable but the sound is barely audible. Money down the drain.

Does not work!!
January 26, 2014
My puzzle does not work at all. We tried new batteries and nothing. The metal pieces to make the sound don't even match up. Very disappointed because we were going to give this to my son on his birthday. Glad we tried it out first to see that it does not work.

Great Puzzle!
December 5, 2013
I have a very slightly different variation of this puzzle, the background on mine is just plain wood and no stripes but otherwise it's the same puzzle. My 2 year old son loves it. He has special needs and is visually impaired so the version I have with the plain background is ideal for him. Other puzzles with decorative backgrounds are too busy for him and he has trouble seeing them. I wish Melissa & Doug had more puzzles with a plain backgrounds available. I love a lot of the puzzles but they aren't good for a child with a visual impairment. Anyway, he loves this puzzle. He is even starting to imitate sounds as he matches. It's a cute puzzle and the only one he will sit and finish, even a couple of times in a row! My only complaint is that sometimes if he tries to put a piece in the wrong place, for example the boat in the car spot, it still makes the sound. Other than that small problem.. we love this puzzle.

Fun for All
May 11, 2012
This puzzle is so much fun. The children can identify with the sounds to learn the words of each piece. My two girls have loved it. Even though it is vehicles, it is for either boys or girls. We have had it for 3 years and it is still going strong.

Given this toy as a gift. We are taking the batteries out!!!! Not only does it play the wrong sounds with the puzzle pieces, it is possessed. All you have to do is walk by it, or turn a light on or off, and this thing starts going crazy. Not cool at 2 am!

September 23, 2010
I was highly disappointed in this puzzle and the animal one too. I rarely take anything back to a store but I took these back. The sounds did not work correctly, would not sound off when the puzzle piece was put into place and then would sound off on its own when I walked through the room.
