My boys are both three and they both really enjoy playing with their "letters". I wanted them to be able to recognize both upper case and lower case letters. This board is perfect! The pictures behind the letters add even more stimulation to the puzzle. Great gift for my boys!
At two and a half years my son had mastered his UPPER CASE letters but was still unfamiliar and a little confused with the lower case letters. After playing with this puzzle for 2 days he was doing his lower case letters like a champ. He absolutely loves this puzzle and takes great pride in completing it "all by himself". I can't recommend this highly enough to parents eager to stimulate their little geniuses.
Some of the letters may be a bit confusing as their shapes are so similar (d,b,p,q) but each set of letters is a different color and my little man caught on to the difference almost immediately. This puzzle isn't quite as well made as some of the other Melissa & Doug puzzles we own but it seems sturdy enough (and toys get quite a beating at our house).
I purchased this for my then toddler when she was about 2 years old and within a few weeks she was able to identify the upper and lower case letters of the alphabet. We still use it for reinforcing learning [she's 3.5 years old now]. This is a very effective teaching tool for letter recognition as well as identifying upper and lower case letters. Little ones get a sense of achievement when they are able to correctly identify letters of the alphabet and then moving on to mastering the more complex identifying of upper and lower case letters.
Final verdict: fun, engaging and very effective teaching tool [for toddlers-preschoolers].
I looked all over and this was the only wooden puzzle I could find with both upper and lower case letters. My 1 1/2 yr old daughter originally had a puzzle with just upper case and she learned the letters so quickly I really wanted one that could help her with lower case as well. We have several Melissa & Doug toys and she really loves them and they are well made. My only complaint about this puzzle is that some of the letters are cut in such a way that they can be easily confused. The lower case b, q, and p, as well as the a and d, are almost exactly the same shape, which can be frustrating for kids (and parents). Wish they would have tried to differentiate those a little better, but otherwise it's great.
My son is very young, and he already knows all of his upper and lower case letters because of this puzzle. And he loves it!
I bought this puzzle for my daughter when she was about 2.5 year old. It helped her to learn her alphabet. I like the fact there are both upper and lower case letters. The quality is very good, like all the other Melissa & Doug products we purchased.
This puzzle is great for learning letters as well as learning to spell and you can't beat the price.
This puzzle is great for learning both the upper and lower case letters of the alphabet. The pictures underneath the letters are well done and accurately represent the letters...they definitely help my little one learn. The puzzle is also very well made and I know it will last a long time. I highly recommend this puzzle!
This is a great tool for bringing the Alphabet song to life! We sing the song while looking for that particular letter in the puzzle! We are learning the different colors as well as each of the object pictures...this puzzle also works well for older twos with supervision of couse! Highly recommended
I started teaching my 3 1/2-year-old son the alphabet in April using Leapfrog products (DVD, CD w/ flashcards). He's been familiar with the letters and their sounds and I thought that it would be good to have this wooden puzzle too for him to get the 'feel' of the letters in preparation to writing them. Although he likes the puzzle, he gets confused with the pictures on the puzzle board (i.e., the letter shapes look cluttered). In HIS case, this puzzle would be perfect if instead of pictures, it's just a solid color for easier, straightforward letter identification. The Leapfrog products were very effective in teaching him the letters and their sounds. In our everyday life, I ask him what letter a particular thing begins with and he can tell me the correct letter (example: What letter does "paper" begin with? --- while I emphasize the beginning P sound).
