Product description
What does the cow say? Kids can hear the cow say "moo" and other farm animal sounds with this hand-crafted wooden peg puzzle. Each happy farm animal "sounds off" in its own voice when the animal puzzle piece is placed correctly in the puzzle board. The puzzle is made out of high-quality durable wood, and depicts eight farm animals that kids can recognize. It features pictures and sounds of a pig, cow, dog, cat, sheep, rooster, horse, and duck. The light-activated sound puzzle also has a full-color, matching picture under each piece. Playing with the puzzle is fun and engaging for kids while they learn different animals and their sounds. It also helps little ones practice eye-hand coordination, sight and sound recognition, memory skills, and fine-motor skills. The Farm Sound Puzzle makes an exceptional gift for boys and girls ages two and older for hands-on, screen-free play. (AAA batteries not included).

- Reviewed in Canada on December 23, 2024Verified PurchaseMy grandkids like this puzzle. The sounds are light sensitive so will be triggered even with the wrong piece - but it is the right sound for the spot so not a big deal.
- Reviewed in Canada on October 14, 2024Verified PurchaseMy choice was a perfect one, my grandson is enjoying the sounds, and effects of the Farm sound puzzle. It's amazing how he is repeating the animal sounds now. It comes with good practice. His age is 18 months, going to be 19months at the end of October.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 19, 2025Verified PurchaseI broken knob (shipping issue I'm sure) but everything else is great. Good quality!
- Reviewed in Canada on January 1, 2023Verified PurchaseMy 22 month old twins LOVE this puzzle! They’re especially obsessed with the rooster sound lol! I’m amazed at how quickly they caught on and were able to play with this. It’s a great educational toy and I highly recommend it. I understand the other reviews that say that it doesn’t always work, and I thought the same, until I read the description again and realized that it’s light activated! If the room is a bit dark, the sounds don’t work but if you play near light, it works perfectly! Hope this helps :)
- Reviewed in Canada on November 9, 2024Verified PurchaseThe puzzle itself is beautiful and the pieces are sturdy. The artwork is adorable. But the sounds are horrible. They only work half the time, and other times the sounds go off without the pieces even being close to the puzzle. Really disappointing for Melissa and Doug. I’m currently dealing with their customer service to see if they can help us.

- Reviewed in Canada on December 26, 2023Verified PurchaseThe day my son opened it, I was initially upset it would only work when it wanted to. My mother read it's "light-activated" and a lightbulb solved all problem.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good quality, but there are a number of design 'flaws'
Verified PurchaseI'll caveat part of this by saying our 18 month old has been playing with it for 5-10 minutes, so not the most in-depth assessment.
Whilst the product look like it's sturdy, so will last, we found the following two 'issues'.
The noise doesn't actually activate when the piece is inserted correctly, but when it's more or less over the sensor. The has the following implications, that the animal doesn't need to be placed in position, nor does it need to be placed inside the correct position (so you get a duck going meow).
As they are light sensors, our daughter has also figured our she can lie over the base and get all sorts of animal noises. Fun, but not what we were hoping for.

2.0 out of 5 stars nicht so besonders
Verified PurchaseDie Bilder von diesem Puzzle sind super. Das ist aber auch das einzigste.
Die Geräusche der Tiere sind nicht schön. Zum Teil kann man sie auch nicht erkennen. Und selbst, wenn man ein Tier in die falsche Position stecken möchte, ertönt das jeweilige Tiergeräusch. Des Weiteren, war der hintere Teil nicht richtig zusammen geklebt, so dass man es selber nochmal nachleimen mußte. Zurück schicken wäre wahrscheinlich schwierig geworden, da dieses Puzzle aus England kam und mein englisch nicht so super ist. Ich würde es nicht wieder kaufen.
