First of all, the puzzle pieces of the GeoPuzzles are thicker which suggests to me a higher quality, but that is to be expected as the price is actually more than double. The GeoPuzzles also come in a box for quick storage. The Continent Puzzles from A Broader View have numerous advantages themselves. First of all, they give a quicker and more direct educational experience. This is because the frame of the puzzle actually is the oceans and/or bordering continents so that the puzzle solver can get right down to the business of learning the countries of the continent. The Continent Puzzles can also be conveniently stacked to save a lot of closet space in comparison with the overall size of the GeoPuzzles. Also, I noticed that the GeoPuzzles use a Mercator Projection. If you are not familiar with the term, the Mercator Projection is a particular way to lay out a map in which the longitudinal lines(north/south lines)are represented as parallel from the top to the bottom of the map, which basically means that the point at the top of the North Pole is the same length as the entire equator. This seriously distorts the size and shapes of all land masses. I know a lot of kids don't notice these things, but no reason to give them a distorted view of the world . The Continent PuPuzzles from A Broader View use a different projection for each continent that is relevant to its shape and position. Further, for each continent from the ABV puzzles, the entire continent is represented. I noticed that some of the GeoPuzzles do not include the entire continent;in fact, what would have been the North America puzzle was converted into USA and Canada puzzle, meaning Central America and the Caribbean are not represented at all. FYI, Central America and the Caribbean are part of North America. The ABV Continent Puzzles also do an excellent job of showing the boundaries of the continents, which I would say is critical to learning about the continents. The GeoPuzzles lack this effort. The Continent Puzzles also have representations of many famous landmarks. As I mentioned, I give both sets 5 stars, but it depends on what you are looking for. The GeoPuzzles have good entertainment value and The Continent Puzzles excel both in educational and price value. Review: great practice for older kids - this is a great puzzle, though not sure why it says 4 and up. i think a 4 year old would have difficulty, but my kids are older. i bought it specifically for my middle schooler to help with geography practice. my only gripe, and i would have taken half a star off if allowed, is that is says "Gulf of America"/Gulf of Mexico. ## Features - INTERACTIVE PUZZLES FOR KIDS: GeoToys Kids Puzzles turn geography into engaging geography games for kids with a fun map puzzles game that encourages children to explore countries, states, capitals, and provinces.

He still has interest in comparing everything out in space, but also compares it to countries now :) (i.e. Russia is wider than Mercury's diameter). Pros: Either way, it's a great educational tool to introduce kids to the concept of continents, countries, different bodies of water, capitals, etc... For the younger kids (my 4 year old included) help will/may be needed in putting the puzzles together since a lot of the pieces (because they are shaped like the countries/states) do not fit and stay together like a traditional puzzle where pieces lock with each other. That's not a big deal, because having a parent/adult around is the best way to work on these puzzles (at least initially) so you can go over all the names together. Some Cons: Quality of the pieces is not bad, but for the price I wish it was a bit heavier. I have some pieces that I have to sort of gently bend, so they fit in with the puzzle; and then there are some that already have "cracks" or bending in the skinny parts, where it may break off at some point) - and this was prior to being used a couple of times. Secondly: Only 2 of the puzzles (the World and USA/Canada) came with a paper "map" of what the puzzle should look like. I think adding a map was great idea, but I'm not sure why my other 4 puzzles didn't come with one. SELLER, please contact me if you can provide these maps. Thank you. Great / fun learning tool overall. Even I enjoy doing these puzzles. EDITED on 12/5/2014: I had contacted the company about missing maps and they were mailed to me in a couple of days. Great customer service. Thank you. ## Frequently Bought Together - GeoToys GeoPuzzle, Africa, Middle East Shaped Jigsaw Puzzle, 65 Pc Geography Puzzles, Map Puzzle, Jigsaw Puzzles for Kids Ages 6-9 Years Old - GeoToys GeoPuzzle, Europe Shaped Jigsaw Puzzles, 58 Pc Geography Puzzle, Geography Game & Map Puzzle, Jigsaw Puzzles for Kids Ages 6-9 Years Old - GeoToys GeoPuzzle, Asia Shaped Jigsaw Puzzles, 50 Pc Geography Puzzle, Geography Game & Map Puzzle, Jigsaw Puzzles for Kids Ages 6-9 Years Old --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/7068476-geopuzzle-africa-and-middle-east-jigsaw-puzzles-65-pc-puzzle](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/7068476-geopuzzle-africa-and-middle-east-jigsaw-puzzles-65-pc-puzzle) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-20*
