Good idea but... Posted 3/14/2006 by Alexandra Gecin
The product is well made but did not hold my son's interest for more than a few play occasions. The way the letters are stored all jumbled up in one section of the box makes it hard for little ones to pick out the ones they need. Even if you spread them out on the floor, they're turned every which way and some upside down, so unless you want to turn every piece the right way to make it easier for your child to recognize, I'd say this is for older kids, 4 and up (which is what it says on the box). But at that age, I'm not sure how much fun it'll be to put letters into the letter shapes either.
Good But Room For Improvement Posted 6/10/2009 by Susan G
We own a lot of Melissa and Doug toys and have always been happy with them but this one has some room for improvement. There are a lot of letters but the choice of letters seems odd. We have 6 C's but only 1 M, N, and L (there are other letters like p & q that there are only 1 of, but you can always flip around a b or d for words like puppy). We can't spell mom -nevermind mommy. Some of the words for the tiles seem a bit odd. They are not my favorite for a beginning speller and reader (cow, duck, sock, cake, fish, car, bird, bus, cat, dog, tree, frog, hen, etc). The quality is great. I would buy it again, but wish I could get more of the letters we needed.
See and Spell a hit for 3 and 5 year old! Posted 9/12/2008 by Melanie Broome
I bought this See and Spell for my 3.5 yr son and 5.5 yr old daughter. My daughter went about it very factually, and methodically and gave a big Wahoo! when she finished all 8 boards. She promptly flipped them all over and started on the other sides. A big Wahoo! again from her when she finished those, and she went to get her dad to show him her accomplishment! I found that flipping a few of the letters upside down or backwards helped get her thinking more.. She kept mixing up her b and d and h and n, so this may help her solidify her letters. Maybe it will help her get her "e's" facing the correct way at school! Definitely a way to make letters "REAL". My son was a hoot to watch - he whooped and hollered as he finished EVERY board! He was TOTALLY excited to play the game. I had to arrange the letters all right side up on the floor for him before he started. Only bad thing, is there is no cover to the wooden box and even though I have taken care to store the game up high when not in use, I have already found 2 letters floating around.. Wish it had any kind of cover! The kids have each asked to play with this twice in 2 weeks.. each play time lasts about 45 minutes.. high quality construction, excellent feel.

This is a good and fun product for kids learning how to spell & read. The words are simple and perfect for those just starting out. The drawback is that the letters are already carved into the wood so the child only has to match up the pieces to the carved out letter. I recommend having the letters on blocks or squares so the child actually has to spell the word rather than put a puzzle together.
Product review of See & Spell Posted 8/10/2010 by B Percival
My 3 year old is fascinated by letters and had outgrown his alphabet puzzle that only had one of each letter; he uses both the spelling plates and the letters on their own and is really enjoying the toy. I would definitely recommend this although I did have to buy a plastic box with a lid for storage.
See and Spell Posted 4/19/2010 by Amanda Agnew
I purchased this for my 3 year old son and he LOVES it. It is so nice for him to play with an educational toy the teaches him to spell and his alphabet.
teacher Posted 3/16/2010 by Mary Burns - EDUCATOR
I thought it was sturdy and colorful. The children seem to like it. The lid lifts off easily but it will not be good for storing long term (it does not lock down). For the two children with visual motor problems I need to spread the letters out so they could match them. Otherwise, it has been great.
Storage & Organization Posted 7/22/2009 by Lonnice
I'm a frequent consumer of Melissa & Doug products, however, I'm disappointed with this particular product. My primary disappointment is the packaging or lack thereof to store the letters.
Review for See & Spell Posted 2/9/2009 by NADJA S FLANAGAN
my 8 year old is fascinated with "cracking the code;" he is homeschooled and learning to read at his own pace. the "see and spell" gives him practice manipulating letters, matching words to pictures, and playing around with sounds and how they translate into letters.
See and Spell Posted 1/19/2009 - GRANDPARENT
My almost four-year old grandson loves this spelling puzzle. He can do it without help, which makes him proud, and he is learning his letters as he goes along. This is a puzzle with extras, and I recommend it.
Review for See & Spell Posted 9/15/2009 by Lynessa Alonso
I bought this for my 4 year old to help her learn to read and spell. She likes to fill in the letters and is working with Daddy to spell things that arent on the cards. She asks to get it out and use it, and we use it about 2-3 times a week. I think it was a very good purchase, and i hope to use it a lot more, and for little brother in the future.
See & Spell Posted 12/9/2010
Doug and Melissa always make quality products, and my son loves letters, but once the puzzles are mastered they are not much of a challenge to him. There are so many items on the marketplace with capital letters, that the small letters were unique and useful. It needs a bonus pack of puzzles to use the same letters, but make new words.
Review of See & Spell Posted 3/11/2010 by Wen Li
The product is excellent. My 3-year-old boy loves it, as well as us.
Product review of See & Spell Posted 6/24/2009 by Tatjana Cotta Connors
Purchased item for my daughter as she loves puzzles, is familiar with her letters and is learning to spell. This is another high quality product from the Melissa and Doug company. My daughter loves it. The words are common, every day beginner words. The images are attractive. The product is solid and high quality. Would recommend this product to my friends.
Perfect for Learn & Play Posted 9/11/2012 by Ruth Robbs - FRIEND
I bought the See & Spell puzzle as a gift for my friend's daughter who just turned 3 years old. Her mom says she loves it so much because she is able to recognize the picture and is learning each time she uses it. I am absolutely going to get one for my daughter (who is now 15 months old) for when she is a little older. I can't wait for her to explore the letters that spell what the picture is along with developing hand eye coordination through this puzzle (she loves puzzles!).
A rating of See & Spell Posted 3/20/2012 by Kathryn H. Jonees - GRANDPARENT
3 Year old is just beginning to recognize a few letters and loves doing puzzles. This toy is a perfect combination. It works better when I play with him and ask him what he's making and what letter this is
Review for See & Spell Posted 4/10/2011 by Patricia Slade - GRANDPARENT
Make the set bigger. I would be willing to add puzzles and letters for longer play time. Also a case with a handle so it could be carried easily from spot to spot, or at least a lid for the letters to prevent they spilling everywhere when my 3 year old grand daughter insists on carrying it around everywhere
see & spell Posted 6/10/2010
it's a good toy overall,will be better if the box has a cover.
Gift for a Beginning Speller Posted 4/10/2011 by Jen
My four-year-old loves letters and is constantly trying to spell new things. This toy helps him to learn some words independently, helping him to feel like he can learn to read on his own. While there are a limited number of puzzles, it does provide a good starting point. I love the quality of all Melissa and Doug toys I have encountered - the wooden pieces and sturdy construction stand up well to lots of love from my children.
Review for See & Spell Posted 1/19/2010 by Vicky Gagnon
I love the toy! Very sturdy and well made. My child loves to sit and match the letters up. The only down fall is it came without a letter w :( Other than that, the product is great.
See and Spell Review Posted 12/6/2009 by Sasha Wooddell
A good product for spelling enrichment activities. My 5 year old knows the words but it's great for him to have extra tactile practice. My 3 year old really enjoys playing the See and Spell with me. He's learned quite a bit just playing with it. I think they have similar toys in his Montessori school.
Information about See & Spell Posted 11/23/2009 by RC - RELATIVE
I purchased this for my 5 year old niece. She is learning to read, and already knew how to spell the 3-letter words, and a few of the 4-letter words used on the cards. She especially enjoyed using the letters to spell other words she knew "freestyle" and compose short sentences. I liked the quality of the product, but it could be improved by providing a sealed storage container for the letters, rather than just an open tray.
Perfect for the New Speller Posted 9/22/2008 by Cynthia Hennessy
My daughter is nearly 4 and is VERY interested in letters and spelling. This toy is perfect for her right now, and keeps her occupied for long periods of time. She really enjoys it, and is learning how to spell lots of words.
Review of See & Spell Posted 8/18/2008 by Kay A. Shaver
This product was actually larger than I thought it would be. It comes in a handy box, and the pieces are very sturdy. It will last my daughter for a long time.
Product review of See & Spell Posted 7/30/2009 by September Baumgartner
I think this is going to be a really good tool to get started on teaching my 4 year old about spelling.
Information about See & Spell Posted 9/19/2011
No storage box to put alphabets in.
Review of See & Spell Posted 5/7/2012 by C. Johnson - GRANDPARENT
When my grandson opened this gift up at his 4th birthday party he loved it and all the little ones got excited and wanted to play with the letters and words right after it was opened. The next day he played with it for quite awhile. Once all the letters were right side up, he could find them and complete the words. I think that he will enjoy it as well as his little brother.
My rating of See & Spell Posted 1/23/2010 by Cory Glause
This item is great! My daughter is 2 1/2 and she can recognize the letters and put them in the correct place. We are working on knowing what each letter is and spelling out the word. This is a great fun way to help kids learn and she loves it!
Product review of See & Spell Posted 1/25/2009 by Stacy J. Molinar
Loved the product- agree with other customers that it would be a much greater package if it included a cover. My son loves the letters and hope it will not only help review the letters but maybe work on phonics and spelling overall.
See & Spell Posted 11/24/2008 by Eva
I' ve been buying for all 3 year olds I know... It is a great for kids that like puzzles. It also helps them to learn the letters in low case, since most toys teach in caps only.
Great toy Posted 7/22/2012 by Ling Yang
It is a great toy for my boy. I am able to teach him to sit down for some quite time and teach him the letters.
Fantastic Toy Posted 6/6/2012 by Sarah.counsel
Bought this for my son's second birthday - he LOVES it. He's just learned his ABCs and is really into puzzles, so the combination is great. He plays with it every day, and loves identifying the pictures to go along with the words. Absolutely perfect for a preschool prep, and it seems like a game so he will sit with it for twenty minutes at a time!
See and Spell Posted 6/6/2012 by Lynn Adams
My daughter just turned 3 and has learned the names of letters and is working on the sounds. She loves that she can tell me what the picture is and put the letters where they belong while naming them. This puzzle will definitely help her with spelling! Very well made of wood, bright colors. Love it!
Good, could be better. Posted 3/6/2012 by Kristi Grady
My four year old daughter loves this toy. I wish it had a better way of holding the pieces so that she could see all of the letters in the box, as it is, she is taking them all out to look at to try to match the word, and I can see them getting lost fairly soon. Overall, she gives this toy a two thumbs up, but as a mom, I'm worried about it's longevity.
great for my 4 year old Posted 2/29/2012 by Julie
My 4 year old was actually excited to choose a board and finish the 'puzzle'. The boards are double sided - which I didn't realize (or didn't read the description well) when I bought it - so I was pleasantly surprised. We've recently started to focus on simple spelling words so this is the jump start we needed. Very pleased with this purchase.
Product review of See & Spell Posted 12/12/2011 by Gerry T - GRANDPARENT
I bought this game for my 4 year old grandson. It's great for both group or self-learning and interaction as well as having fun. The bright colors and sturdy wood construction make it very attractive and user friendly for a 4 year old boy. I also like the wooden case which neatly stores all the pieces in a strong container-only wish there was a plastic or wooden lid which secured the pieces in the container when the game is stored.
It is a good and appropriate title. Posted 12/8/2011 by Christine Dee
I am a teacher and I feel that the more early experiences children have with letters and sounds the faster they learn to read and develop a lifelong love of reading. Hands on experience with letters and words and the success they have with building words on ther own is so positive for their interest in and pride in learinng to read!
Product review of See & Spell Posted 11/8/2010 by Stephanie Greenleaf
Great because it teaches lower case letters which is often neglected at this age.
Tactile learners delight Posted 9/24/2010 by Andrea Keen
This is a great tool for learning letters, sounds and spelling. It's great for my son who loves to touch and feel everything because he can feel the letters in his hand. He has little interest in writing letter.
Product review of See & Spell Posted 9/9/2010 by Sonja McCrary - GRANDPARENT
Great for learning words and identifying letters
See & Spell Posted 1/11/2010 by Julie Darnell
A good quality spelling puzzle that my three year old received for Christmas and is enjoying. I think it's a little old for her yet, but she's interested in letters and loves puzzles so this is a good fit. She plays with it regularly and I expect it to become a favorite in the year ahead.
Review of See & Spell Posted 12/1/2009 by James Starkey
helping our 3 year old learn to spell, she's able to work the pieces, and she already knows her letters

it was very nice ty for fast shipping looking forward to working with as i own a childcare center
See & Spell Posted 10/5/2009 by Sherry Plaster
I think this is a great educational toy. My two year old likes puzzles and in doing these puzzles, he is learning to spell. I think this is a great product. I am quite pleased.
Quality toy Posted 9/1/2009 by Brooke Klein
This toy is just what my toddler needs. The individual letters in combination with potential words make it useful for small words. He is also using it to ask me about spelling of every word he comes up with. I love the flexibility, quality of construction and how it is contained in one box.
Margaret ewzuk Posted 7/16/2009 by MALGORZATA LEWCZUK
Is great,easy to use for children
great toy! Posted 6/23/2009 by Jammie L Creager
great toy for children to begin to learn to read. pictures are colorful and realistic.
See & Spell Posted 6/22/2009 by Pam
I have twin daughters that are very busy! They are beginning to learn letters and word association. This Puzzle is fabulous!! Because of the pictures, they are becoming more familiar with sight words and improving their letter recognition. After just 2 times of using it that are picking out the letter puzzle pieces telling me what letters they are finding. The best part for me is there are just enough puzzle pieces for them to share and keep them both entertained at the same time!
Great Learning Toy Posted 3/18/2009 by Donna Phillips Askew
This product has been great for my 3 year old. He is using it to learn spelling and phonetics. It challenges them to use the alphabet that he already knows into spelling.
Review for See & Spell Posted 12/29/2008 by sarah fifi
great learning toy! I bought it for my 2-yr old and she loves it. The only negative side is that the name plates are hard for her to get out of the box. There's no enough room around them for her fingers so we end up flipping it over and dumping everything out. Also a cover for the box would help with keeping the letters together.
See & Spell - great learning tool Posted 11/20/2008 by K. Mosc
The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is b/c it does not have a cover to contain all the pieces. Other than that, my 2 year old loves it. I pick out the letters that correspond to the board we are working on and we say the letter as she places them in the correct spot - we then review the picture and word. It is a great letter and word learning tool.
Product review of See & Spell Posted 11/18/2008 by vonnie L Schaffer
I purchased this item for my son with autism. I am very pleased with it. I would recommend it to anyone who is beginning to read and spell with their child.
See and Spell Posted 10/2/2008 by B Johns
Very good quality, educational and fun for my 3 year old who loves learning how letters make words.
Great for learning lower case letters and beginning spelling Posted 8/13/2008 by Katherine Johnson
I bought this for my daughter's 3rd birthday and it was a great choice. She frequently asks to play her "letter game" and it holds her interest enough to go through all the words in one sitting. I like that the letters are different colors, so for a younger child, like my daughter, I can tell her what color the letter is that she is looking for, to limit her choices. There is at least one wooden letter for each of the 26 letters of the alphabet, however, not all letters are used in the puzzles. So in order for your child to learn those letters you will have to make up your own words. That is my biggest negative of this product. I also wish that there was a cover for the box, to keep all of the contents inside without spilling when a child carries it, or to take it in the car.
Great toy Posted 6/5/2008 by Panarat Unger
Great toy for my son who is learning to spell simple words plus practicing his fine motor skill. I even purchased this see & spell set again as to give to my nephew. Like it a lot.
Product review of See & Spell Posted 12/11/2011 by Angela Hickox
I have a 2 year old and a 3 1/2 year old both children love this. My 2 year old sees it as a puzzle but she is learning her letters at the same time. My oldest is learning to sound out and spell the words.
Review for See & Spell Posted 4/25/2011 by Zoya
My grandson played with it with interest. I hope that he will do it again.
Love this word puzzle. Posted 3/23/2009
I purchased this for my 4 year old niece for Christmas. She loves it and likes learning how the letters go together to spell the words. I'm also buying this for my 3 year old son. He's a little young for it, but he knows his letters and likes puzzles, so I think he'll enjoy playing with it. And hey, if he starts to pick up the concept of putting letters together to make sounds and words it's an added bonus. The only negative is the limited number of words to spell - there should be an expansion pack!
Product review of See & Spell Posted 1/27/2009
My grandaughter simply loves it. she is three years old.
Pretty Good Posted 11/17/2008 by Colleen R Owens
My children have really enjoyed this new product. The only suggestion that I have is that, like some other Melissa and Doug products, there be a plastic cover to slide over the top of the wooden box in order to keep the small letters from falling out everywhere.
My rating of See & Spell Posted 7/25/2012 by Amanda Jeffrey - GRANDPARENT
My grandson is just beginning to sound out words so the timing of this gift for his 3 1/2 birthday was perfect. However, as others have said, he can't do more than one or 2 at a time because there are not enough letters. The cutting of the letters makes them less than heirloom quality.
Great for Learning! Posted 7/24/2012 by Emily Childs
It is really a great learning tool. My son is so proud that he can spell! And it really enforces letters and sounds. Although I was a little disappointed in the paint. It's already bubbling up and coming off and we've only had it for a few weeks.
Ma Posted 4/27/2012
It's colorful and helps alphabet recognition by placing the puzzle together.
Product review of See & Spell Posted 3/4/2012 by Sara Alfred
A good hands-on alphabet activity. Great quality. Good for every child. This will stay in our family for years.
Product review of See & Spell Posted 1/9/2012 by M. Webber
I was disappointed. There were no T's in with the letters and a lot of the words required that letter.

Great learning toy. Both my boys (5 and 3) have been enjoying working with the letters. High quality toy.
Review for See & Spell Posted 7/13/2011 by Ashley Herbet
Like the product the only disadvantage is since there are so many pieces to the toy it is easy to lose one of the letters (I already can't find one)
Learning to spell Posted 2/16/2011 by FT
My daughter loves to play with See and Spell. She loves the puzzle aspect of it and gets excited when she can associate the letters with the picture. I believe this will be a great from an educational perspective. [Sent email thanking for kind email.] cb

I am a Speech Therapist and the toy is used only during my speech session. I am updating it by sorting out the vowels, which may make it easier to locate letters for the word puzzles.
see & spell Posted 10/28/2010 by paul
Good educational toy. Our girls are 2 and 4. We use just the letters only to teach our youngest letter recognition and sounds. Our oldest likes to play it like a puzzle.
Review of See & Spell Posted 9/27/2010 by Danielle Plewa
My child has already mastered recognition of the capital letters as well as some of their sounds. This item has been very helpful in motivating her to learn the lowercase letters.
Great Game! Posted 12/27/2009 by Karen H
This is a great toy...my 3 1/2 year old boy played with it immediately upon opening it, spelling word after word. After each one he exclaimed, "I spelled boat!" and "I spelled cow!" It's very appropriate for this age as it uses manipulatives, but reinforces letter recognition and emphasizes those pre-reading skills.
See and Spell Melissa and Doug Posted 9/3/2009 by Glenisse M Torres
Some of the letters had chipping would coming out and cna cause splinters on kids. Only 2 letters were defective. we sanded the letters and it is just fine.
See & Spell Posted 6/15/2009
Big draw back is it doesn't have a top to help keep teh pieces together.
See & Spell Posted 6/4/2009 by RAMESH RAVIPATI
It is a very good product for kids who know the letters and are starting to spell things.

Review of See & Spell Posted 11/3/2008 by Carolynn O'Brien
This is a wonderfully fun and educational toy/puzzle for my almost three year old who is just beginning to spell words. He loves matching the pictures with the letters and it encourages fine motor development, perfect for my four year old niece who has Down Syndrome.
Wonderful!! Posted 11/14/2007 by Colleen Logan
See and Spell is wonderful. It is just what I wanted.
See & Spell Posted 3/21/2011 by Doris Decatur
It was a birthday gift and was carried to daycare for everyone to see and play. He just turned 5. His big sister used for alphabet recognition also. I do not know how this toy was used in his preschool class. I know that my granddaughter followed directions on the container. the three year old played with it also. As a great grandmother I was pleased with their enthusiasm about the gift.

Review for See & Spell Posted 8/22/2012 by Mariola Thiel
At school, toys like this are called work. My twins, tell me they are working while they fill in the letters for the word. My duaghter loves it more than my son - which is what was stated. The picture helps them to idnetify the word they are putting together which is such a learning plus. Am very pleased with this "toy".

Nice Posted 2/28/2012 by Frederica M.
I really love this puzzle as an educational product. I am teaching my 2 year old how to spell and thought that using a puzzle with pictures to help him make the proper associations would help. It does! He is spelling the words quite well and is even working on letter sounds. The issue is in getting him to attend to it for long periods. That will take time so I am not worried. The younger the child, the more facilitation needed to motivate play but a great product overall.
Product review of See & Spell Posted 2/26/2012 by Alexis Jacomen
All items were wonderful! I would say that her favorite was shape puzzles and the see and spell wooden puzzles...she is not even 3 and loves to spell! Thank you!

Again, this was purchased for my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter. She is gettting really good at her letters & she really took to this sspelling toy.
Review of See & Spell Posted 2/16/2012
Our daughter is at a great age for this toy. She already knows her letters, but using the puzzle pieces to form the words to match the pictures is introducing her to the concept of spelling and the idea that each letter makes certain sounds. And she loves playing with it, which is a big plus!
A rating of See & Spell Posted 2/9/2012 by Lindsay Clark
Great toy for learning but needs better storage. Puzzle pieces need a cover because they come out easy and hard to store.
My rating of See & Spell Posted 2/8/2012 by Susan Mallory - GRANDPARENT
Great learning game for my 3 year old granddaughter, she gets excited knowing words.
Definitely appealing to my 18-month-old son Posted 1/25/2012
I purchased this knowing that it would be a bit much at this point, but I wanted to have my little boy hold the letters and see how they fit into their respective positions on the board. I started with the "fish" board, and he was very excited to touch and feel the board and the letters. It held his attention for about 5-10 minutes, and off he was to his next adventure. But whenever I put the "fish" in front of him -- which I've done about 5-10 times since we first got it a few weeks ago -- he gets excited still. I can't know for sure yet, but my intuition tells me that this is exactly what needs to happen, and when he's ready to take it to the next level (whatever that might be), he'll already have some idea of how it works. I've used a similar approach with other toys, and when he reached the appropriate developmental milestones, he seemed to master the skills associated with those toys pretty quickly. (Maybe it's similar to visiting a place for just a few minutes and don't get a chance to get to know it. But the next time you're there it looks really familiar. The initial impression sets off some connections in your brain, and the next time you're there, if you need to figure out more about it, you have a slight advantage over someone who's never been there.) So, even though it hasn't been played with very much yet, I'm glad we have it now, and I'm looking forward to seeing more pieces fall into place -- both on the puzzle boards and in my son's developing mind.

I love this toy! My 2 1/2 year old plays with it daily. He sings his alphabet over and over while he plays with the letters. He treated it more like a puzzle at first and now he is starting to realize he's spelling words.
Perfect for four year old! Posted 1/13/2012 by Jenny - GRANDPARENT
Great learning toy. Within a couple of weeks, our four year old is already learning to spell simple words.

The product is well-made and is very colorful. My 3 year loves identifying the letters and spelling! I just wish there was a container for the letters so they don't end up all over my house!

My son has been interested in learning how to read so I thought this could be a great first step. He absolutely LOVES the puzzle! I'm a huge fan of Melissa & Doug products!!! He really enjoys spelling the words; we do it every night!!!

My daughter loves this game from Melissa and Doug! She's almost three and we have a good time sounding out the letters and trying to spell the words. At first she just used it as a puzzle but now we can add that extra learning step to it. Wonderful toy for any child anxious to read!

My son is 4 and purchased this at Christmastime. He enjoys finding the letters and placing them in the board to spell a word. This isn't his favorite thing to play with, but when I do bring it out he happily does a few boards. I find it to be great for teaching him how to spell. I like the size of the letters and boards.
My rating of See & Spell Posted 12/31/2011 by Abbie McMillen
I had hoped this toy would foster an interest in reading in our 2 yr 11 mo grandson who is a whiz at puzzles, but it can't compete with some of the other toys he got this Christmas. Maybe it will grow on him as we play with it more. We can use the letters to spell other words.

A really fun way to work on words and letters with your children. Great 'school time' toy. They really need to put a lit on the letter box, though.

Colorful and easy to handle. The letters fit easily.

My 3-year-old daughter couldn't wait to open this toy on Christmas morning. She isn't quite putting together spelling out the name of the object, but she loves choosing the correct letters and putting them in place. I hope that as she gets older these help her with spelling, and sounding out, words.

This was bought for my 6 year old daughter with Down syndrome. It was a Christmas present. I try to get things that are educational. These puzzles are sturdy and have very vibrant pictures on them. My daughter loves them. The only con I see is keeping up with all the letter pieces. Love this purchase.
Quality Toy Posted 12/27/2011 by Rich
Very good quality, only complaint is that there is no lid/cover to keep everything together. Otherwise a great educational toy.

High quality parts, sturdy constuction. Helps the child with spelling and letter recognition.
Good for the right child Posted 12/5/2011 by HJ
This appears to be sturdy and well made. Our 3 year old is phonics obsessed right now so it is a great toy for her. Without a preexisting interest in reading/spelling, this may be a less successful toy though...

The product is well made, bright and easy to use. My daughter loves to sit there and go through all boards. I would also give this as a gift - it's a great toy.
