Comment: This looks cool up front, but some of the letters are cut out asymmetrically so they only go in the puzzle one way - very frustrating for a 3-1/2 old. Examples: H, N, S, X, Z. At this level these should be mirror images and fit in if flipped upside down. Kids learning at this time cannot make out the subtle differences these current letters have that are no sweat to the rest of us grownups. Start simple, then get tricky as the kids level of recognition increases.

Summary: NOT THE BEST BUY OUT THERE...
Date: 2006-01-25 - 
Comment: I purchased this puzzle for my 4 year old and my 2 year old. The puzzle is great if you don't mind searching for the pieces all the time as they 'set on top' of the puzzle and don't really sit down in thier places. Only about 1/3 of the piece actually fits down into the space. It is very easy to knock off pieces already in their place when working the puzzle. Also, some of the letters have to be turned around to fit properly. For example the letter O, I, H, S, X, and Z. IN ADDITION TO ALL OF THE ABOVE, some of the pitures could have been better thought out. W has a Wagon behind it but it also has a Horse. It is something I would send back if it wasn't so much trouble.

Comment: This is another great wooden puzzle from Melissa and Doug. It's an excellent way to begin your children on letters and to teach them to appreciate the quality of real materials.
All of the letters lift up to reveal a picture of an object that starts with that letter. It's essentially the same concept as early alphabet books, but you can make it into a game (pick a letter out of a bag and you must say an object that starts with that letter before placing it in the puzzle) and encourage its use in solo play. Wonderful!

Summary: Great for a 2 year old
Date: 2005-05-18 -
Comment: My son started with this puzzle just before his 2nd birthday and now just 4 weeks after his birthday, he already knows all the letters and the sounds they make.
I agree with the other posters that some of the images under the letters could have been more thoughtout. A for Airplane and J for Jet is confusing. L has a Ladybug on a Leaf...but still not really concrete. W for wagon, but there is also a horse in the picture... Issues like this can be overlooked because of the quality of the puzzle however.
Overall, I think it's a great starting tool for ABCs.

Summary: Great Buy!

Comment: I got this back when my son was only about 9 months old to supplement my home-made flashcards & the educational videos. I didn't take out the plastic at that time since I know he'd just eat them. I just let him point out the letters besides the alpha blocks that he's also learning from. To make a long story short, my son's mastered the alphabet at 14 months old (& to think he was 5 wks preemie when he was born) both the upper and lower case letters and all the letter sounds. Also, the main thing that made him extremely excited and interested are the animals behind the letters since he's familiar with all of them. Now at 18 months and with a vocabulary of over a hundred, he's reading the words that he used to know by recognition only. He can actually read now and builds the words using the letters on this puzzle. It's cheap but learning with it lasts a lifetime! Great buy indeed!
