Skeleton Floor Puzzle - Science Classroom Must Haves, STEM Student Essentials, Practice Anatomy, Back to School Supplies for Teachers, Ages 3+

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.

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.

We love this puzzle and have used it regularly. It is holding up well, fits nicely together at the joints, and is a fantastic addition to our collection of materials about the body/bones/anatomy. We love that it is a heavy-weight foam since our small friends can sometimes get a little excited about these large pieces. Worth the price for sure!

My 4 year old son is obsessed with skeletons and he loves this. He put it together really easily within minutes. Its made of thick foam-like material so its sturdy and lightweight. We have had fun propping it up against the wall so it looks like its sitting up and putting hats on it. If you have a kid who is into puzzles and/or skeletons, this is the best of both worlds.

My 4 year loves anything Halloweenish. Mummies, zombies, skeletons, etc., so when he got this he was so excited. It’s nice and big and made out of a heavy foam. Easy to put together for him and thin enough he was able to put his clothes on it. He’s rough on things and it’s stood up so far. It has a few bite marks but not ripped!

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.

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.

The grandkids love this educational toy.
