Skillmatics India Map Puzzle 70-Piece Educational Geography Puzzle

We bought the Skillmatics India map puzzle, even though we already had a similar (but not exactly same) puzzle. Thankfully, we got the product in an appropriate and light packaging, rather than without any packaging as it happens with some products on Amazon. The product we got is all as described/advertised - all the components are present in good condition. The quality of every component is very good - be it the puzzle pieces, or the cards, or the single page manual/map, or even the main box and its inner compartments. The puzzle pieces are harder/thicker than I anticipated, which is a good thing as they can withstand a little more rough handling and last longer. The printing, the images and the colors on the pieces are good too. There is one piece per state, except a few pieces that have more than one state (e.g., Karnataka and Goa are in one piece). Arranging the pieces to form the entire map will likely take more time the first time. But next time onward, it usually takes less time. While it is easier to arrange the state pieces, it is a little harder to arrange the pieces outside of India land. Coming to the cards, they have a somewhat polished finishing, so they feel smooth to touch. They are not very thick/hard, but just thick enough. The printing on the cards is clear, and the size of the letters/font is just big enough to read - any smaller font would have probably been difficult to read. The cards in general are bright, colorful and attractive. One would like to hold them and read. There is one card for each state or union territory. Each card has some basic/interesting info about the state/UT such as the capital, local food, local language, local dance, local special city/place, etc. along with some pictures. It is a nice way to know/introduce the states/UTs, especially for the kids. Unless one is already familiar with all the info present in the cards, it would probably take a few rounds of reading to become familiar. After becoming familiar with all the info, we can probably do some interesting things like playing quiz. Highly recommended! Attached some pictures.

Product is really very good , interesting and knowledgeable.

Its a meaningfull product for your children in all way, easy to use, smart use of you money makes your kid smarter.

interesting and educational

Good for kids.. We can engage kids on this rather than for mobile addiction. But this Product is little expensive. I have seen this in a shop for 300 only.

Good

Nice product to teach your kid. Minus point is it is made up of card board. If plastic is used, it will make it a longlasting product.

Good product

Perfect for my son. He loves them

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Good quality. My granddaughter and I worked on this puzzle together and it sparked great conversations about geography. It wasn’t too hard or too easy - just right.

Great puzzle - 4YO really enjoys this one and always reaches for it. It’s two activities in one as you can read the map and cards after it’s put together

A good test for a three year old. Quality of cardboard laminate is poor, delaminated in two weeks and the cut of the puzzle has decapitated words and symbols. However, the location cards are very educational.

Very good educational tool which can be used multiple times unlike most puzzles
