I used this floor puzzle for a Hospital Week booth to represent radiology. Participants had 60 seconds to put the puzzle together for prizes. It's a lot of fun and a great way to giggle.

The grandkids love this educational toy.

I have a nephew who is obsessed with bones and he loves this puzzle! It's easy enough for him to put together and he is only 3.

Kids love it.

True, this isn't the most detailed skeleton, but we bought this for our boy when he was a bit older than 2½ -- accompanied by The Skeleton Inside You, and he took right to it. In fact, I was quite surprised how adept he was at slinging this "puzzle" together, since at the time, he had quite a bit of difficulty with very simple, age-appropriate jigsaw-type puzzles.In any event, the skeleton itself is intriguing to curious minds, and assembling the puzzle is only part of the fun. Naming the parts, comparing heights, discussing muscles and tendons and internal organs -- all great companion tasks (helped out by the book I mentioned).As some others have pointed out, the lack of detail in this floor puzzle will become a shortcoming for an older child. But the simplicity (and durability) can be a benefit to the younger ones. Definitely recommended for the 2 to 3 year old set.

Got this puzzle for my almost 3.5 year old son who is obsessed with bones. He had to put this together immediately when he saw it. Proceeded to try to pick it up at the hips and sat it down on the couch then told me it was his best friend. He did this a couple of times the first day and the lower half fell off from the upper half when he went to sit it on the couch then he cried out "oh no! My best friend!" This made me think if there was a skeleton puzzle with the ability to click the parts together for a more solid connection (magnetic or snaps in) it would rock his little preschool world. Regardless, he loves this puzzle. I even bought a second one for his daycare.

My 3 1/2 year old daughter saw a skeleton while accompanying me to the Physical Therapist and called him Mr. Bones. She was very interested in the bones and loves puzzles so this seemed perfect.She is too young to appreciate the name of every bone but we make a point of taking each puzzle piece and matching it up to our own body part before connecting to the puzzle. This helps to make a nice game out of it too. It is a lifesize puzzle and has good detail. Like any puzzle, it is pretty sturdy if you don't abuse it. My daughter is a bit rough and Mr. Bones has withstood her abuse.After seeing her interest in the puzzle I picked up The Skeleton Inside You (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2). We've just started reading this and with the 2 products she really enjoys seeing the bones and matching them to her body. A fun educational puzzle.

My 4 year old son pulls this out regularly to put his skeleton together. Definitely worth the purchase!
