And I love the 2 volume settings - we have it on the lowest setting and can still hear her in the kitchen if we are in the family room. And it's durable too - she has pulled and thrown the letters off of the fridge and there has never been a problem with them.
And our daughter loves it. My husband sent me to the store to get magnetic letters for our 10 month old daughter, and I brought home this toy.
My husband and I have sat in front of the fridge with her for over 30 minutes spelling different words and doing the sounds with her. We can be cooking dinner and she'll stand in front of the fridge and pull out & put in the letters.
She doesn't comprehend it yet, but she knows how to play the ABC song and she dances along with the music. The jet sticks pretty well to the fridge - she has been able to push it to the bottom of the fridge, but can't pull it off the fridge.
This is a great toy.
This Word Whammer comes with only lower case AND the letters are not the same size/not compatible with the previous version. We have the original Leap Frog Fridge phonics with the single letters. These are all capitals. That is SO frustrating and obviously something that Leap Frog did purposefully and for monetary reasons. We generally love Leap Frog products but I was very disappointed that the letters were not interchangeable (as they were on the older version).
Very educational toy. Daughter loves it. It has taught her how to build three letter words. Would recommend this to anyone.
Leapfrog Fridge Words Magnetic Word BuilderPlease note: this review refers to the newer airplane shaped Leapfrog Fridge Words Magnetic Word Builder, not the older version. Also, with a younger child, having all 26 letters out at the same time may be over whelming, so I only put up about 10 letters at a time. For example, when the letter A is placed in the toy it gives the long and short vowel sound.
First off, I was thrilled that the upper-case letters from the Fridge Phonics are interchangeable with the lower-case letters from the Word Builder. the letter C). I purchased this item for my 17 month-old daughter along with the Leapfrog Fridge Phonics (sun shaped, not the older red and blue version).
This is also true for some of the consonants that give more than one sound (i.e. Now my daughter can learn her upper and lower-case letters at the same time. A noted change with the new versions of this toy - if a letter has more than one phonetic sound, both sounds are given.
The only drawback to this toy is that at times the voice is not as clear as I would like. Other than that, I am thrilled that I purchased this toy.
I bought this as a present for my 3-year-old son. He very much enjoys finding the letters to make words and of course singing the ABC song. I would recommend this toy to other parents that are teaching their children the alphabet.
