I bought one for our neighbor boy and one for my son ages 5 and 4. Very good quality and fun for them. It helps them associate which letters go with which words and they have to really focus on each letter because they have to find it to complete the puzzle. I love that you flip it over for another word so they get more puzzles without taking up much room. As others have said it would be nice if there was some kind of lid or cover to put over it for storing. Fun and educational toy!

In my preK-2nd grade Title 1 Reading classroom

My son loves this toy! He loves to pick a board to spell and flip over to do something else :)

Great learning toy. Only complaint is that it doesn't have a cover for the top.

I purchased this for my 2-year-old triplet grandchildren, and they love it! They are beginning to develop language skills and can recognize objects and letters, so they were thrilled to connect the letters to the objects! Im sure they will enjoy for a long time!

I wish there was a way to purchase additional word boards and that there was a top for the box. Even my son asked "where's the lid?" And he's 3.

2 year old grandson loves these simple word puzzles, please make another set!

My granddaughter loves the ease of the pegs to match the pictures. Great letter recognition & fine motor practice. Quality & price are very good.

This puzzle is great for working on lower case letter recognition! The brightly colored pictures on each puzzle help early readers read the word they have just built. We have already had hours of fun playing with it! The possibilities are endless!

Wish there was a cover for this heavy box.

I love this while teaching my son to spell. The only problem is there is no letter "l"!! He can't even spell his name due to the missing letter. So sad!

Great idea, for older toddler

Such a great toy but no top on the box makes it hard to keep all of the letters together. Please consider an easy top

So helpful for my grandson who's learning his letters in preschool

Excellent easy learning

This is a fun puzzle to help teach children how to spell and read.

This is not a toy I own personally as I don't have kids, but rather a great toy I HAVE to review as a nanny! At the time, I was nannying a child who was 18 months old, 5 days a week. He loved puzzles, and we played with this toy every single day. I started out by fitting the letters into their spots, saying the word and pointing to the image next to it, individually touching and saying each letter, then going back and doing it again but saying the individual colors. I was his nanny for six months from 18 mo to 2 years old, and progressively over time he learned it more and more, until he reached a point where I could lay out a word puzzle and ask him which letters we needed. He would dig through the letter pile and find the right ones and put them where they went-I could even say, we need an f and he would dig for the right letter until he found it! Then when the letters were all in place, I would say and sound out the word, then point to each letter and ask what letter it was and what color. He had all the letters from the set memorized and every color! As a young nanny it just blew my mind that he was so little and figured all of that out. The puzzle element really grabs their attention at that age I think and it was so cool how he figured out how to fit each one into their spaces (great problem solving skills). The toy is for 4+, but I just wanted to share how effective it was for me when working with younger children! Under adult supervision, it can be really useful for setting up your child for preschool. I just purchased one for my 18 year old niece for Christmas and can't wait to use it with her :)

I bought this for my 3 year old nephew. He's just learning letters & this is a big help!

So far this seems to be my 2 yr old granddaughter's favorite of the Melissa & Doug toys I purchased. She loves finding the right letters and making the words and sounding out the letters and words. She will say, 'We need to do sock S-sssss'. She loves it and we love that she is learning the basics of reading. This a great foundational toy.

Great 3 year old bday present. She loved it.

Colorful and fun.

Great toy for early letter and word recognition - but I'd LOVE to be able to buy more letters of the same size and style - both to replace any that get lost, and so, as our daughter's vocabulary grows, she can spell out more complex words. (She'd love to be able to spell her name and the word "school", but there's only one "L" in the set.) Please consider a companion pack of letters!

Both my 4 year old and 2 year old grandson loved these puzzles. I wish the box had a top though.

Love these.

Perfect introductory letter recognition and visualization for words for our 2 year old

My granddaughter loves it. One problem is that the nice wooden box it came with should have a cover so the letters and puzzle boards stay together vs ending up lost as bd all over the house

My set included 2 fish instead of the car board. Otherwise we love it!

The bright colors & pretty graphics jump out to littles. It was 2" larger than I expected, so worth it's price tag.

These puzzles were great. My niece and nephew loved them and they were fun to do together.

Great way to learn how to spell. My 2.5 grand-daughter loves it.

Really nice puzzles, excited for my daughter to start using them to spell.

My 3 year old loves this puzzle! He just got it for his birthday (he's a bit of a prodigy) and loves putting all the words together.

My grandson who is 3 loves this! He was so excited to see that we bought it for him.

Our 2.5 year old daughter loves this! We weren't really expecting much interest at her age but I guess you never know what they are going to latch on to. However, we are a bilingual family and I really wish there was like an expansion set or something with some Spanish words. All in all, a great product!

My 2 year old grandson loved putting the letter puzzle together and he is learning how to spell, too.

Love your products. I bought this learn to spell for my 3 year old grandson. I know he'll love it.

My 2yr old and I love these word puzzles. I just wished that the S was symmetrical so it would fit in either direction. I appreciate that a lot of your toys comes on lovely wooden boxes. A little sad they don't have lids.

Because of these, my three year old is learning to spell! Great asset to our household!

Just what my grande needs to help her blend letter sounds and sound out words.

My daughter LOVES this game! It really strikes that balance between learning and fun to help her learn her letters better and to spell like a champ! ESPN Spelling-B here we come!

It is extremely well made and our 3 year old grandson played with it immediately. Great birthday gift! It arrived a few days earlier than expected as well.

Our 4 year old granddaughter loved it!!! It so nice and such a great quality. Great product as always with Melissa and Doug!

Wonderful fun learning tool.

It only has about 20 "words" to do. (2 sided) I thought it was larger. The little wooden letters are thin and can break easily!

Our little three year kid is living this gift!

I bought this for my granddaughter! She really loves it and plays with it when she's here!! Thank you, Meg

I enjoy doing this puzzle with my Granddaughter. Only issue is - there is no covering to enclose the puzzles or the letters. Easily spills and is difficult to store between uses.

Beautiful colors and easy for little ones to put the letters in the appropriate slots. Sturdy wooden pieces . Excellent !

Good!

I can see getting a lot of use out of these! Great for my 3 y/o for sounding out words to learn how to read.
