My 3 1/2 year old daughter got this from Santa for Christmas, along with a few other Melissa & Doug sets. We are big fans of this toy company, so far all the sets we have purchased have been durable and well made, my daughter loved her alphabet puzzle with sound from last year, it still works great and looks brand new.
We got around to opening this set today, and she was all excited, and started to spell out several boards at once…then I discovered the problem, there were no letter “e” in the box, or “a”…only one each of the “d” and “o” letters. So being a long time purchaser of their products, called the number listed on the sticker on the back, and immediately was connected with a LIVE human being, no computer nonsense telling me to press 1 then press 2…that alone was amazing, lol…and the woman I spoke with took all the info quickly, and then without any hesitation told me a new set would be out to my daughter today…no asking me to return the defective set, she was quick, efficent, and very pleasant. This one problem with the set would not have turned me off to their toys, but with such quality customer service I am an even bigger fan than ever of this toy company…

My 2 year old son is on the Autism Spectrum and tends to think in a very visual manner. He absolutely adores this toy! When I saw the recommended age, I was a bit hesitant, but I’m so glad that I went ahead and got it!

I bought this for my 2yr. old (just turned 3), she loves it! She already knows most of her letters in uppercase, these letters are all lowercase so it is a whole new learning experience for her. She enjoys finding the letters and doing the puzzle, then telling me what it says.
There are 10 two sided sturdy wooden spelling boards and over 70 wooden letters included. The boards all have a picture of the word they are writing. This is an excellent way to teach your child how to spell as well as letter recognition.
We have a few other puzzles by Melissa nd Doug and we love them all, they make quality sturdy toys.
It says it’s for ages 4 and up but my daughter loves it. It’s never to early to learn letters and spelling, my little one just turned 3 and she can spell her name and has starting learning to write it as well.

My 3.5 year old enjoys this puzzle very much. He matches the letter puzzle pieces into the words, he knows most of the photos by name so when he builds the word he sees how “Frog” is spelled. A very good learning tool. My only problem with it is that there isn’t a cover to keep all the letter pieces together. I store them in a gallon zipper bag and fold it down and they still fit in the alotted letter area and they don’t go flying everywhere when my son takes it down from the shelf :-)

I too, was a little hesitant when we saw the age (my daughter is not yest 3), but I knew it was something she’d enjoy since she’s learning to read. Not only has this toy been an awesome tool, she just LOVES playing with it – every morning she wakes up wanting to “spell”! I’d recommend this toy to kids of any age interested in learning to read!
