As one of the top online toy retailers, we have access to unprecendented quantities of product review data. One of the key ways that we use this data is by associating our products to the specific ages and genders of the kids who are playing with them. Whereas most retailers must rely upon manufacturer suggested ages (i.e. 3+), we take actual customer usage and share it with you here so that you can choose the perfect toy or game.
But how does this help me? You can use these graphs as a general measure of it's appropriateness for a given age and gender. While this information is generally accurate, it should not be used as an absolute answer. For instance, many dinosaur toys are purchased for boys, however, that doesn't mean that it's inappropriate for a girl who happens to like dinosaurs.

NOTE: The orange color in the charts above indicate ages that are LESS than the manufacturer suggested age. Please purchase at your discretion if your child is younger than 4 years of age.

Definitely appealing to my 18-month-old son

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!

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!
