My grandchildren LOVE this! Ages 4, 9 and 10. I would not recommend this for traveling because of the possible loss of pieces. My big complaint about this item, however, is the fact that the manufacturer did not give any extra pieces. Several of the puzzles we completed required all the pieces of certain colors and it would have been a big disappointment to not have enough to finish the picture the way it’s shown in the booklet. And obviously, if you lose a single piece, you have no extras to fall back on. I need to determine if I can order a bag of extra pieces. Other than that, I think it’s very well-made and the kids have been having lots of fun with it!
