Janod Wooden Magnetic World Map Puzzle - 92 Magnetic Pieces - 70 x 43 cm - English Version - Educational Game from 7 Years Old, J05504

The packaging was OK, but could be improved. It was punched (courier fault I assume) and I first feared the product would be damaged before opening it. The board is quite heavy, and large, so needs to have the space to put it.There is no problem with magnetism, all pieces holding in place perfecting sturdily. The finish is very good. It's a high quality product. We have had the France version for 2 years now and it's still in perfect condition despite it being handled rather savagely by our toddler.My only criticism is on the choice of pieces, I find there are a few too many pieces in russia or canada, with nothing interesting on them, would rather have separate pieces for Scandinavia or other places where countries are clubbed together. Also it would be better if seas were cut out (like the red sea or the med). But overall it's still very well done.

I have had this puzzle for over a year and just love it. Some of the pieces have started to bend but its played with so much I find it normal

Bought a smaller magnetic map for my son for Christmas (he’s 3) but he can already put all the pieces in the right place so I’ve upgraded to this one. It’s absolutely huge and so many pieces. Unlike others ours arrived in perfect condition, and the magnets are perfectly strong enough to hang on the wall.Packaging says 7-12 but I have no problem playing with it with my 3 year old as long as you’re constantly supervising. He is autistic and non verbal but loves puzzles so I’m hoping this will be popular for a while yet!

This magnetic world map is great and beutifully illustrated. I bought two of them for my nephews. One of my nephew is autistic. He is struggle with imaginative a continents, countries and where are the most popular places and animals of the world. This magnetic map is a fantastic way for children to play and learn.Highly recommend!

A beautiful piece

Beautiful map. It seems quite sturdy but the first one I received had damaged corners. No problems in replacing it though. My only gripe would be that Chile seems to fall off quite readily, but more importantly - where is Ecuador??

Really good quality. Well made and will last for a long time. The magnets are strong too. I did lots of research on a world puzzle and this was ideal as the fact its magnetic means you can teach your child about the continents and oceans first then add the layer of the countries. Love it and have already recommended it to many friends.

Very disappointed with this product. Within a few days it became clear the larger country pieces do not have enough magnetic power to stick to the map, particularly if hung on wall. This means the large pieces fall almost straight away and drag many of the rest of the pieces with them.I could not find a contact service for Janod within Amazon but would appreciate some assistance with this.I should say this is so disappointing as otherwise it seems like a great educational product which our daughter took to instantly and learned facts about countries straight away. It was one of the highlights of her birthday gifts and she's quite upset it's now useless. For a high price you expect it to perform its most basic function - stick the countries on the map.
