We are collecting all of these puzzles and my two boys ages 6 and 10 can't get enough of them. They do them almost daily and they are now geography buffs.
Great gift for little geographers!

This puzzle series (we have all of the continents) is WONDERFUL! My son (4.5) loves all things geography-related, and after a few times with Mom, he's able to assemble them on his own. My daughter (6), who is homeschooled, uses these puzzles to learn geography, and it is better than any textbook! No drills, no "memorization", just fun putting puzzles together! Fairly sturdy, I would recommend keeping them out of reach of the under-3 set (my 1-year-old chewed and bent a few pieces before I figured this out), but that should be self-evident.
Excellent educational tool

I own the entire series of Geo Puzzles, and I consider them to be a great educational tool. They also have bright, appealing colors, and most of the times one piece is one country (except for very small countries or very large). In regard with design, the only problem that I could find is that the Latin America one (not the others) has some puzzle pieces in the middle that have straight edges. It is a bit confusing for my 6 year old, since he's used with the concept that only the pieces on the margins have straight edges.
