Matching is an important pre-reading skill that children need to developed in order to help them get ready for school. My First Match It! Things That Go is the perfect tool to help your little ones practice this essential skill. This set contains two piece self-correction puzzle cards that introduce familiar topics. The fun, brightly illustrated cards are designed for a younger child and engage them in the learning process in an entertaining way. My First Match It!- Things That Go includes 15 self- correcting puzzle pairs. Ages 2+ years
I am an occupational therapist who works with the pediatric population. I found the age range stated on the box very appropriate and have used this product with this age group. I have also used this product with older children who are not cognitively or developmentally able to complete a standard puzzle. There are so many things I love about this product! I will list them according to the skill I addressed using this game. <br /> 1) This puzzle game addresses visual closure. The children are so excited to complete the picture in the 2 piece puzzle. To downgrade the activity I have placed one half of the picture in one pile and the remaining half in a second pile. This way the children know where to find the matching piece. I have also limited the number of matches to be found if it was too overwhelming. The children loved the satisfaction of finding the missing half of the transportation vehicle. I have upgraded this activity by placing all puzzle pieces in a pile and have the child locate the 2 puzzle pieces independently, addressing visual attention and visual discrimination.<br /> <br /> 2) This two piece puzzle also addresses problem solving and attention skills. The children have to identify the other half of the car, plane, boat etc.. either by color, type of vehicle, shape etc… this cannot be completed unless they are focused and attending while sifting through the pile for a match. <br /> <br /> 3) I also have found that this game motivates the child to have improved recall while naming transportation vehicles. They can better associate what they see on the road, sky and water to the fun puzzle pieces they have and will play with. <br />
I wanted something easy enough for him to get the concept. He loves putting these together. They are pretty sturdy and the colors are vibrant.<br /> perfect puzzle to make your son interested with puzzle.<br />
My 2 year old loves this product. Very fun and educational.
Perfect puzzle for my 2yr old. She loves it.
My almost two year loves this set. Good thickness and colorful images. A little hard to get together but he has figured it out after doing it a couple times!
Grandson enjoyed it
I loved these puzzles for my preschool class. Very durable and forgiving for little finger.
My kid very like this toy. Everyday play it. My kid can find the other half of the puzzle quickly and accurately now. He is 2 years old now.
PERFECT first puzzles. Great for motor skills, memory and visual recognition. These are the perfect thing to make my two year old twins feel like they get homeschool just like the bigger kids. We make it fun by adding toys to match up too (small tractor, etc), or by separate half the cards on one side of the room and half on the other and they have to run back and forth to match them. I have bought some more sets, but my favorite for two year olds are the animal heads/tails and vehicle halves. My five year old twins want to get in on the action too, though it's purely fun and not so educational for them.
Quality Fun for young ones (2-4)
Great puzzle! Thick material so will stand-up to throwing or dropping. My daughter is 3 so she was able to quickly match them together so definitely suggest for 2 or 2 1/2 year olds.
Great kids game for learning and dexterity!
Its easy to solve the puzzle for a 2 year old
My 1.5 year old son play it every day!
Study and colorful
I bought this puzzle for my vehicle obsessed 3 year old. The peices are perfect for him and it's really good quality. Thank you!
Great product. Purchased for a 3 yr. old boy.
We've had a lot of fun with these.
I have purchased these match it puzzles in the past and they are great... but it would have been nice if the packaging was spelled correctly - it should be Things That Go NOT Thing That Go.It is a gift and I do not have the time to exchange it.
My 2 year old loves it so much. Great for learning new vocabularies too.
Se lo compré a mi hijo a los 19 meses, aunque primero le saqué 8 piezas (sus 4 transportes favoritos) hasta que entendió bien el juego y aprendió a juntar las piezas, ya que tiene truco, sobreponer una encima de la otra y no juntándolas sin más.Antes de los 2 años ya estaba jugando solo con todas las piezas con muchísima facilidad y rapidez.Puede parecer simple, pero desarrollan muchas habilidades con este juego, concentración, imaginación y motricidad para rotar las piezas y hacerlas encajar.Lo mejor, que se entretiene durante un buen rato en hacerlas todas, y su felicidad al terminar es inexplicable. Siempre nos montamos un baile y va llamando a todos para que apreciemos la maravillosa hazaña que ha hecho.Muy buen tamaño, calidad inmejorable, y un pequeño y único pero, que tiene un poco de truco juntar las piezas, por eso preferimos juntarlas en el suelo.
my 3yo loves these!
Great for building confidence in completing puzzles!
Very nice product. Big, sturdy pieces, good pictures. Nice puzzle to start with!
These puzzle sets are perfect for a 2 yr old. Used the Dino set with my son, and he would spend hours matching them all up, taking them apart and doing it over again. Bought the vehicle set for my nephew for his 2nd birthday. Puzzle pieces are large and easy for little hands (also because they are larger it’s harder to lose them). There are quite a few puzzles in each box, lots of variety! These are a great starter puzzle set for little learners!! (My son is now 4 and masters a 24+ puzzle, and this is where that skill started)
Toddler loves these puzzles
great product. thick enough for toddlers to assemble. Price is a little too high though, hence the 4 stars. overall, good quality
This was the first puzzle my son started to put together on his own. We got it out when he was about 18 months and started playing with it. By thr time he was 2 he could put all the pieces together.
My 18 month old grand daughter loved these puzzles. Bought the Heads and Tails and Things that Go puzzles and they were perfect for her! I set out 4 sets of the Heads and Tails and she immediately matched them up. I placed the rest of the puzzle pieces out and she had so much fun matching them up and learning the different animals! Great product!
Very sturdy cardboard pieces. More geared for preschoolers vs Pre-K 4s which is what I teach; but overall kids liked playing with it.
These are great learning puzzles.
A wonderful learning toy. Fun and educational!
Excellent, tamaño grande y duradero, intuitivo para el niño, cumple el objetivo
My 2.5 yr old niece loves it. this is her favorite and great learning exercise!!! Definitely recommend
These are fun and an excellent learning tool! My 2.5 year old really enjoyed them. To add another layer of learning, I wrote the word on the back with a large sharpie. That way he can try putting them together by recognizing the spelling.
This was a gift for my two years old grandkid.
my sons love this
My 18 month old son really likes to play with these puzzles. He likes to sort through the pile and find the matching peices. Putting the puzzles toghether makes him feel confident and satisfied. He stands back to show me his accomplishment after each puzzle. I'm very glad I purchased this for him. Each puzzle is easy to assemble but not too easy for a toddler. The puzzles are just difficult enough that he feels good about himself when he gets it but not so difficult that he gets discouraged.
Great puzzle
I love this. Perfect for learning puzzles.
Me gustó mucho
Bought as a birthday present for my two year old. He had never played with a puzzle yet, so I wanted something easy enough for him to get the concept. He loves putting these together. They are pretty sturdy and the colors are vibrant.
Perfect puzzle to make your son intersted with puzzle. Good quality
Great way to get your toddler interested in puzzles and to calm them down
Very well made. Nephew will love it.
These are absolutely adorable. The extra cotton backing make them very absorbent. The patterns are very versatile.
My son loves this puzzle - we got it for him when he was 18 months old and now he's two and still loves playing with them!
My 3 year old loves doing this to calm down before bed. We lay out all the pieces and find the matches. I bought the 'things that go' one as that his favorite, that one is adorable AND he knows all of the vehicles.
Good puzzle!
My son loved it, great quality!
Exelent
Fantastic
Excellent for my Autistic Special Needs toddler. Sized perfectly to fit his little hands. Good to start building puzzle skills.
My 2.5 year old loved it.
Perfect for my 2-yr old grandson - he loves finding the matching pieces and colors - great size for those little hands.
These puzzles are awesome for my almost 2 year old. I honestly thought they would be challenging, but he's doing great with them. They provide great practice for color matching and vocabulary development. He can tell what most of them are (he can't always differentiate between the front of the truck and the car) from just one side and he'll name it and then look over the group to find the other half with no problem. I'd definitely recommend them if you're looking for a gift for a 2 year old!
My daughter was a tad young when I first bought them for her but now 23mo she makes us sit down with her on the floor to play with them.
A very good puzzle for 2-3 year olds. My son enjoyed it very much , since more than 2 piece puzzle is very difficult for them at that age.
My toddler loves these. He loves spreading them out and finding the correct pieces.
Very good quality.
Pefect
2 year old just loves this!
My toddler tried to enjoy this puzzle, but he gets a bit frustrated with it. He loves cars, and it keeps him going. However, an absolutely flat surface is required to put these together. I would recommend it for older toddlers, 3+ years.
Great gift for a 2 year old.
My almost 2 year old grandson absolutely loves these. As he puts each together, we stand them up in a line so he can admire his work. Very proud of himself. Highly recommended.
awesome
Sooooo cute!!! Nice big puzzle pieces with such cute illustrations! I gave several of these out as gifts and all the kids looooove them!
Our grandson loved these. He was so excited when he found the right pieces and put them together. Lots of fun for him. He's 2.
Nice weight to the puzzle pieces. Arrived quickly. Just as described.
I think for 2 y old it's to easy.
Great quality. Love this product.
I gave my 2 year old just 4 sets to start then added more. He mastered quickly and he enjoyed the pictures. It encouraged him to expand his vocabulary. I appriciate this puzzle because it has real every day pictures instead of cartoon characters
My 2 1/2 year old likes figuring out how to put these puzzles together. Plays with them regularly.
Got these for my 2 year old for Christmas, and he's already pulled it out five or six times wanting to play. He loves looking for the matching pieces, especially to the train and the flying objects. He lays them all out next to each other when he's done, all proud of himself. Pieces are nice and big. I would definitely recommend.
Got this for my 23-month old as an introduction to jigsaw puzzles. I've been very impressed with the quality of the product and the design. It's been exactly what I hoped it would be. Would definitely recommend it to others.
2 yr old grandson loves this.
My almost 2 year old absolutely LOVES these puzzles. They're super cute and easy recognizable drawings and sturdy material.He'll bring the box out and bring it to our living room table, dump the pieces and independently put the whole thing together. We also love the one where one side is an object and the other is the letter the object starts with.
Good, stiff and thick cardboard w/ nicely done pictures. Great color
Great puzzle games for toddlers.
Nice easy first jigsaw. Some dexterity required but then again easy for bigger hands to help without being seen to do the jigsaws. Good for the interminable "where's the??" as there are15 pictures to do. My grandson often chooses this over other first puzzles, but that just be the subject matter. Sturdy cardboard box for storing the pieces in as well.
A great puzzle for my special needs prescshoolers I work with.
3 year old loves it and its the perfect addition to our homeschool preschool set up!
Haven't opened this yet as it is for one of my grandchildren for Christmas but I think it'll be a good learning tool
Fun toy that is also educational. I can explain what the picture is of or can make up a story as we put pieces together. Pieces go easily together. My two year old had trouble with coordination at first but with practice he can now easily line up pieces and put them into place.
My 2 year old son loves it.
I bought this for my 18 month old who is lately into puzzles. Its made of thick cardboard and good quality. My son loves it . We just dump all 15 pictures (30 pieces) on the floor and my son has no problem finding two matching pieces and put them together. The only frustrating part for him is that the pictures fall apart when he tries to pick them up and carry across the room to show me what he put together. But again if they were tight enough to stay together when picked up, it would take a lot of force fro the small child to fit two pieces into each other. Overall I like it, however I do think he will outgrow it in a few of months as it's already pretty easy for him . So I would disagree with the recommended age of 2+.
Great introduction puzzles for any toddler! My 2 year old enjoyed this so much that I ordered a second one. As for the product itself, it is of good quality. Sturdy, easy to put together, and the pictures are very colorful. I'd recommend to anyone!
My son absolutely loved these puzzles and they were great for learning. So many different things you can point out whether it's colors, shapes, types of objects, etc. I will definitely buy again! Item arrived quickly, in good packaging and was as described.
Grand kids love these
Excellent fits perfect and soft.
Great for my 2.5 year old!
my kids enjoyed it
Perfect for little ones first puzzle. Heavy duty pieces that withholds the beating of a 2yr old. I will be buying others. Thx!
Son 15 figuras a armar, de buen tamaño y buena calidad. Lo recomiendo! A mi nena le entretiene bastante armarlos.
Good quality and size. Very clear pictures. Easy to do.
The product is good but the box was a bit crushed in transit.
My son loves these "puzzles". I was really impressed with how quickly he mastered them. It was a perfect bridge for him to advance to real puzzles. And I like that now he can get these and do them on his own if I'm not able to sit down and help him with a bigger puzzle. My son is 2.5, but he tends to be a little advanced in stuff like this. It's probably best for 2 - 3 year olds.
My son loves these! They are a great size for little hands and nice and thick making them easy to grab. The puzzle connections themselves are large and it's pretty hard to mess up.Great matching game, great for hand-eye coordination and great for learning all the different types of transportation and there name.
I purchased this matching puzzle for my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter. After a few times of doing it together, she can now complete the pieces on her own, giving her a great sense of accomplishment. It also lends itself to conversations about ways of travel, because they are pictures of "Things that Go!"
Grandson loved it.
Great learning tool for children.
Great for little fingers ????????????????
Different theme on a great game for children!
Perfect for my 2 yr old. he loves it
My 2 year old son got the hang of this pretty quickly, and was so proud of himself the first time he put them together all by himself.
Wonderful, quality puzzle for my 2 year old.
all these puzzles are great Ill buy more for gifts
My 2 and 3 year old grandchildren really enjoy these matching puzzles!
Gift
Nice gift, my granddaughter will use this for a long time. She loves puzzles so she can do a puzzle and learn at the same time.
Great matching game. My two and a half year old daughter loves these. They're great quality, and are very well made. She can sit and do them independently and sometimes we do them together as well. I would definitely recommend, great for toddler development. It' so rewarding for her when she gets them all completed!
Very cute match puzzle, but the pieces do not stay together at all. It frustrates my kid when she picks them up.
Love these for the kids. Great for the Old folks (Myself) too.
My 2.5 year old received one of these as a gift. It's perfect for kids who are past the wooden shape puzzles but aren't quite ready for 12-piece puzzles. The pictures are cute, and are different enough that she can easily find the matching piece. I love that the pieces are self-correcting, meaning they only fit together with their matching counterpart.I'll be getting more of these in the future as gifts for 2-year-olds!If you found my review helpful, please up vote it!
My daughter loves it
Nice size and color but a little hard to fix for my toddler
18 month old grandson thoroughly enjoys playing with this and creating all the machine noises!
great learning first puzzle!
GOOD
Bought this for my 2 year old - he loves it and was very proud of himself that he could put them together. I was delighted that he could identify the various things that go.
Gift for 2 year old and he really enjoys playing with these. I like how sturdy and large size the pieces are for his hands.
My grandson is 2 and this is perfect for him
We bought this for our 22 month old son because he would watch his older siblings solve more complicated puzzles but when he would try to 'help' he would obviously not be able to put them together without any help and that would make him feel very frustrated & upset. These simple & easy 2-piece puzzles have really helped boost his self-esteem - they are just the right size for his little hands to hold and when he presses down on them they easily snap in place unlike other ones he had to struggle with all the time! There are 15 puzzles in the box - each square puzzle is about 5inches by 5 inches and 1/10th of an inch in thickness - made of some thick cardboard like material - the colors are very vibrant & they have stood up to the roughest of treatments .... We also have the jumbo floor puzzle by Melissa and Dough but my kids somehow managed to tear that one up in some spots over time ... these ones, on the other hand, have remained in really good shape even after some very rough handling - So, overall we are very pleased with our purchase and do intend to buy other ones from the same brand in the future. My 2 yr old son, no doubt, loves them - the ease with which he can now 'solve' these puzzles in (all by himself) makes him feel like a 'big boy' and a 'champion' & the smile that brings to his face is just priceless! Highly recommend.
We had passed the peg puzzle set..and then tried the one with images on the board. Once my 22 month old was able to comfortably do that, I was looking for the next level puzzle set for her and this was perfect.The colors and the prints are vibrant...which attract the toddler's attention. It's basically a matching exercise. The pieces are made of cardboard but are sturdy enough.Overall happy with my purchase.
Sturdy and a great size, really fun for a boy's first puzzle. My son is 2 and is loving this.
Fun activity for toddlers. I plan on getting more from this series.
Great puzzle for a toddler who is ready to move on from the Doug and Melissa style wooden puzzles but not ready for anything more complicated than two pieces that go together.
These come in a huge box! Wish it came in a smaller card size box. Waaaaay too big for the product inside.
Got this for my 2 year old granddaughter who loves puzzles. She did them all in under 5 minutes and then lost interest because they were no challenge for her. But the pieces are sturdy and pictures nice and clear. On to harder puzzles for her-no challenge at all.
Bought to use in classroom, Great learning toy's
Brought it up to my grandson, who is just 2. He had a great time taking pieces apart, trying to put them together (could do it easily with a little help from Nana). The best game he found with them was to lift the box up high and empty all the pieces out, then put back in the box to empty out again, over and over! As long as he is having fun, who cares if he enjoys putting into box more than putting them together!
Very Good
Quick ship. Kids love these cards
My toddler loves these. Has a lot of fun matching them, and then telling me what it is.
Great for 21/2 year olds.
my grandsons have and will continue to enjoy these matching sets
Kids love putting these together!
Good
Very cool concept for the little ones. Easy enough to do for my 2 year old. She gets such a sense of accomplishment when she matches them, and the pieces are big enough that she can put them together by herself
good learning "game"
self explanatory
I thought this was a good gift for my nephew... which it still is but I was super mad when I went to costco and saw a pack of 3 of these for a couple more bucks!
My son loves playing with these. I was so impressed with how quickly he learned the concept and yet it is still a challenge every time, at least for now.
Gave to a 4 year old and he loved them.
nice big, thick pieces, great for toddler hands
I was a bit apprehensive about my 25 month old daughter being able to do these but she would find the 2 pieces and identify what they are supposed to be before finding the other half and then pick out the match. She isn't the best at linking the pieces together but that is something we are still working on. She has a ton of fun with these and gets so excited when she finds a match.
This was a gift for my 2 year old son. It's a source of fun and entertainment, plus it's educational.
Thus is a great learning game. My grand baby loves connecting and matching.
Great variety of patterns and good quality.
Great learning tool.
Great spelling tool, my granddaughter loves it.
Product was as expected and cards are large and thick enough for small hands. Colors very bright and puzzle pieces fit together easily.
I bought this puzzle for my 2-and-a-half-year-old granddaughter and she was very excited to try it out. The pieces are very sturdy and quite large, which means you need a large hard surface for putting them together. We tried on the living room carpet (short pile) but the pieces came apart again quite easily. I have a good-sized children's table for her (seats 4) but the pieces fill up the entire table and there's no room to move them around without some of the pieces falling on the floor. And even on a hard surface the pieces don't stay together very well and my granddaughter was getting very frustrated, so I've put it away to try again when she's a little older.
Great first learning tool for preschoolers. Clear photos and easy fit pieces.
These are awesome! A good first floor puzzle- they only have to put two pieces together to make a picture. Successfully done and enjoyed by a 2 1/2 year old.
Love this product. Used it on grandchildren and they love it!!!
Great game. My son loves this game.
Perfect for my 3 year old. He lov
My three year old son loves these puzzle cards! They are fun and easy enough for him to do all by himself! They are sturdy and bright and cute. The pieces lay perfectly flat so there is no frustration over pieces that won't stay/fit together. I also purchase the "Dinosaur Friends" and the "All My Toys" versions of these puzzle cards and I'm glad I did. They're great!
very good
Very impressed I wasn't sure what to expect from these. They're made really well and they're perfect for gifts. I would definitely buy them again
My grandson is almost 2 had really liked putting the pieces together..with a little help of course! Good product!
Great puzzle
Good quality for the price and the pieces were much larger than expected.
I was excited about getting these puzzles and my son seemed to love playing with them at a friends house. After I purchased them I was a little disappointed that they don't stay together. Once you put the pieces together you can't move it or pick it up without it falling apart. The quality isn't the greatest and he didn't play with them for long. Too bad because its a great puzzle for toddlers.
Great for toddlers
It is very nice for age 2. It is too easy for a 3 year old.
