Shallow molding; skip add-ons
This “inexpensive” puzzle quickly become expensive with options and add-ons. Extra cost aside, I do regret getting two symbols added; with just a 6 letter name, the symbols make the puzzle awkwardly long and my 19month old child’s wing span is barely able to carry it. Also, the puzzle is very shallow (compared to our well made Montessori puzzle)  so the letters are easily knocked out when carrying it from the shelve to play area or when it is stored on the stand—which is another add-on you can do without. Lastly, its a small critique, but for the letters that are symmetrical, like the letter i or X, it should be painted on each side since either is correct.
