KEEPS HIM OCCUPIED & LEARNING!

My two year old son just loves his letters and numbers. How excited he was to receive this floor puzzle as a gift. The pieces (a great size for his age) are durable and can withstand toddler handling. The pictures that coincide with each letter are definately a plus, and I love the fact that the lower case letters are included. He truly enjoys it, putting it it together over and over again.

Serious about astrology

not a typical combination. My friend gave my this because I have dozens of jigsaw puzzle and have looked into my birth chart. I love the history behind astrology...like the science before there was science. This puzzle is really amazing. It goes further than I thought it would. The puzzle looks great and I can put together an astrological chart in a few minutes. It blows people away, even people who are serious about astrology, because it's so well researched. They don't tell you who wrote the interpretations, though, which is too bad, because they seem to know what they're talking about. I preserved it and can now use it to do a chart in about five minutes. The puzzle is beautiful, too.

Finally a Batman Game that is educational and NOT violent!

Santa gave this game to my 5 year old son. My son loves Batman, so this game was a perfect fit. The graphics are great and very entertaining. There is NO violence of any kind. In order to complete the entire game, you must solve several task which require listening, observation and thinking skills. There are 3 different levels to vary the difficulty of the challenges. However, once you have solved the game, that is it. It is the same everytime. My son's don't seem to mind though, they just play it over and over.

More kids games should be like this!

An edutainment game that will help your children learn about science (botany, cellular biology, zoology, genetics, and human biology) as they solve puzzles and make their way through the world of Bioscopia. My nine and six year-old children love this game. Children under eight will probably need some assistance, but adults should enjoy this game as well.

PS--Although it doesn't mention it in Amazon's description, this game is a hybrid PC/Mac (OS 8.1 or higher) game!

hours of fun for my 3 year old

I got this puzzle for my daughter for her third birthday and she just loves the bright colors and the vivid images of the bugs and flowers. The first time it was completed she was so amazed by how pretty it looked and insisted on using it as a napping pad! Each piece is distinct enough to tell apart, and the adjacent pieces usually share some common feature (such as a bright-colored pedal or a wing of a dragonfly), so that even though she is challenged, she can complete it by herself after some time. In that sense the puzzle is great for fostering patience and building confidence. It's been two months and she still plays with it. Recently I brought it to my office and now we can both have our "quiet time" when she visits.

Ceaco Culinary Classics Puzzles

Ceaco's Culinary Classics series offers four challenging but "tackle-able" puzzles featuring beautiful culinary photography. Each can be approached in small sections - a plus for those slightly less ambition puzzlers. It's also easy to leave and come back - if you can leave in the first place!

Disney Photomosaic 1000 piece Puzzle: Bambi

Made by Buffalo Games, Inc.

Amazon base price: $9.99
List price: $10.99 (that's 9% off!)

Disney goes multidimensional with this 1,000-piece puzzle from Buffalo Games. It''s designed with an approach called Photomosaics, which involves arranging thousands of tiny photographs that, when viewed at a distance, combine to form a single larger image. Here, stills from the movie Bambi (0788806270) act to produce a larger picture of Bambi and his pal Thumper. Because the still images tend to overlap the pieces, the puzzle shouldn''t be any more or less difficult to assemble than other 1,000-piece sets. The completed puzzle measures 27 by 20 inches. --Andy Boynton

WOW

This puzzle is harder than the Mickey Mouse Puzzle. I think that it's because there isn't a picture of the finished product inside. I still love it and plan to do all the puzzles and frame them for our family room.

Great Gift!

I bought the Farm Friends puzzle for my nephew's birthday, and it was such a hit that it was hard to get him to open any of his other gifts. He wanted to start on it right away.

My sister was pumped, too, because it has some kind of coating that makes it easy to clean when something gets spilled.

All in all, a great product at a very affordable price.

Hoyle Crosswords

Made by Sierra

Amazon base price: $19.99
Buy one from zShops for: $49.99

Exercise your verbal skills in between work assignments with this comprehensive crossword program from Sierra. Five hundred puzzles, spanning a wide range of skill levels, will keep you busy for a good long time, and the lush interface is easy on the ears and eyes--a welcome relief from the newsprint-stained paper shaking in your hands on the subway.

Installation is easy, and you can start playing right away, though you might get sidetracked for a bit by the engaging FaceMaker utility that personalizes your player interface. Once you've got your face and name set up, you can solve puzzles alone, compete with a nearby friend, or challenge a total stranger over the Internet. The competitive option is structured much like traditional tournament: time and accuracy are both important. The many MIDI music choices are unobtrusive, the three backgrounds are gorgeous but not distracting, and the solving interface is clever and simple to master.

The puzzles themselves are challenging in a straightforward way--no tricky New York Times stuff here! If a clue baffles you, it's easy (some would say too easy) to get a hint or even to have the whole word filled in for you. Then, if a word is still unfamiliar, you can open up the online Webster's New World College Dictionary provided and improve your vocabulary for next time. Though it may seem strange at first for crossword puzzles to migrate to your computer monitor, you'll soon find yourself thinking of "paper" as just a five-letter word for "obsolete." --Rob Lightner

Fun For Young And Old

Whether you are young or old; beginner or hardcore crosswords enthusiast, you're going to be entertained by this game. I play a game a couple times a week. My mother, 83, will actually touch the computer in order to play. And when my grandchildren were here for a week, one or the other was playing crosswords the whole time. It helps excercise the thinking processes, it's educational and, above all, it's fun.
