★★★☆☆
Good idea, mediocre execution
The concept of a search and find floor puzzle is great for young kids, and my little one loves the ocean theme. However, some of the pieces don't interlock as snugly as they should, leading to gaps and a less stable finished product. This makes it a bit frustrating when trying to keep the whole thing together, especially when actively searching for the smaller objects on the completed puzzle.
★★★★★
Wonderful interactive play
This puzzle is both fun to build and a joy to explore for hidden treasures.
★☆☆☆☆
Missing pieces right out of box
Very disappointed with this puzzle. We opened it and started putting it together only to find two pieces were missing from the box. It makes it impossible to complete the picture and the search and find aspect.
★★★★★
So much fun!
My child absolutely adores putting this together and then searching for items.
