We have three of these Geo puzzles and my 6 and 10 year old love them. They pull them out and do them weekly. Their knowledge of geography has grown with their interest in the puzzles. Great and worthwhile purchase.

Setting: Homeschool
This puzzle is excellent! We have no complaints. As a homeschool mom I thought it would go great with our geography study as we study each continent more in depth. It is a great way to get kids out of the workbook for a time. I had no idea the kids would enjoy it so much! They have turned it into a game...Each day they race against the clock and try to beat their own completion time from the day before. As they become more familiar with the countries and names their time is faster! Great fun! Adds a lot to our study!

I ordered all of the GeoPuzzles of the world. They are all of good quality. I think the age range of 4 to 104 is a little off. I have two very smart 5 year olds who struggled with this puzzle. As a 38 year old, the GeoPuzzle Africa took me a while to complete. However, I think the puzzles will be great tool for learning the countries of the world.

Tonight we opened our new Africa GeoPuzzle. Three generations worked busily to fit the countries together. We grown-ups were chagrined that we did not already know the location of many of the countries. Putting the puzzle together is a fun, easy way to learn. We plan to work the puzzle together again tomorrow.
