My daughter is getting interested in puzzles, so I started shopping for some knob puzzles. I've been turned off from the Melissa and Doug brand their puzzles look so cute, but after reading various negative reviews on amazon and researching how some of their products have been found to contain higher levels of toxins than they claim, I decided to try Hape's puzzles. I really like that the finishes are non-toxic, they use water-based paints, and that the company is eco-friendly...and their puzzles are not made in China. I bought the fruit basket puzzle, the plane/car/boat puzzle, and the zoo animals puzzle. They didn't look as colorful compared to the Melissa and Doug puzzles based on the online pictures, but when they arrived, I had no complaints about their design and quality. These are excellent and look even better in person. My daughter is enjoying them, and I don't have to worry about whether that are safe...for now!
UPDATE: I am no longer sure that this item is not made in China. Its product details lists China as it origin. I do recall that the packaging I received did not say "made in China", but I've long since discarded the packaging and cannot confirm this.
