 My 18 month old Loves it November 24, 2008
kali shanti
My 18 month old son loves this set. I put all the cards on the floor in random order and all the letters mixed up in a pile next to them. He is now able to match up the magnetic letters to the letters on the cards. He gets each right every time and he does all the letters correctly. He even starts to say the phonetic sound to a few of the letters that he recognizes the most. We have worked on this together for about 4 months or so.
Great learning tool October 16, 2008
Marie Williams
The letters and cards are a great learning tool. I set all the letters face up on the floor for my daughter. I ask her to find the letter A and put it in the Ant card. If she has difficulty finding the letter then I tell her what color it is to limit her choices. Then we talk about the sound the letter makes. We precede like this all the way through the alphabet. We line the cards up across the room and sing our ABC's when finished and point to each letter card. This is a fun way to learn her letters. It keeps her attention. We do not use the letters on the fridge. We just play the game on the floor.
Sometimes it is a little difficult to get the letter to fit on the card but the most important point is that they learn their letters and have fun doing it.
We LOVE this! February 14, 2008
M. Napierkowski (Pittsburgh, Pa)
I bought this for my son at a consignment sale. I figured it would be year before he was ready for it, but he loves it! LOVES it. He's 20 months old now. He calls he "play game" and asks for it constantly. All he does it put the letters on the cards where they go, but it is a great opportunity for me to tell him which letter is which w.out him feeling like we are "working."
My only complaint is that the case is not easy to put the cards and letters in and out of. You have to put the cards in first and then the letters and numbers. My son can't do this himself and it is kind of a pain.
As for the letters not fitting into the spaces- I have no idea what the other reviewers are talking about. We have no issues with this at all. I don't know about them sticking to the fridge, we sit at a table with it. I don't think they are meant to be refridgerator magnets otherwise the cards wouldn't have come with them.
My 22 month old loves this! October 26, 2007
Amy (Mighigan)
Overall, my son loves this toy. We play with it together. I give him a card and a choice between 8 letters and he finds the letter and places it on the card. The magnets don't stick well to the fridge so we don't use it for that (plus they are big), also as long as you put the cards in before the letters, they fit just fine. I only wish the cards were magnetic where the letters go so they stay better, but overall...he loves it and is learning his letters!
 Choose another toy September 22, 2007
J. Utrata (Oakland, CA)
I really wanted to like this toy, for I like most Parents brand toys, but I should have read other reviews first. First time out of the box and about 6 of the magnets slid down the fridge. My son did like finding the magnets that fit on each card (puzzle-concept), but there is no excuse for a magnet school with several magnets that are faulty! I will probably write to the manufacturer and get the faulty magnets replaced, but for the same money or a few dollars more, my son has really been enjoying the Parents animal hospital toy, with lots of pretend play...if you're wavering, get that. Oh, and it's true that it's hard to fit all magnets and cards inside the box.
