I think anything from Leap Frog is fun & educational - this toy is def. one to go to after your kids master the Leap Frog Fridge Phonics.
It uses lower cased letters, and the vowels are red. She loves the auditory feedback she gets when she places the letters in the slots and creates a word that the program recognizes. Our 3-year-old daughter is having a great time with this toy. There is a setting that allows for 2 different degrees of volume, and you can power it off. It has 3 different levels of difficulty, going from learning the sounds that each letter makes, to spelling 3-letter words, to doing a word hunt by spelling a 3-letter word that the program gives you. For the hunt, the program will say the letter it wants you to look for, and a red light blinks above the corresponding slot. We weren't diligent with turning it off, and we went through the batteries within 2 months.It has definitely been a worthwhile purchase. I'm glad we got the one with 3 letters and not the one with only one letter.
Great little toy. I purchased this toy in December 2009 and it was on sale for somewhere around $[.]. For example: the word LAD is taught from the very begining and is frequented.
I can already see that we will be getting the next size bigger(four letters) in a few months. The toy really likes to do a ryhming word so these words come up often but I can think of several words my daughter needs to know before LAD and PUB. Our daughter walks by the fridge numerous times a day and everytime wants to stop and show us a word she learned (she is currently 2yrs 6months).
Seems the word PUB comes up often as well. Everything about the toy is great and educational. If I had complaints it would be in regards to the choice of words and the priority set to those words.
Overall this is an awesome toy that will be played with for five to twenty minutes a day for months and seems durable enough to last through a few kids before it might break, especially if left on the fridge instead of carried around and thrown like ours has survived thus far.Also, if you're looking to buy a gift that won't be at the bottom of the toy box this would probably be a good idea.Oh, and one other thing I like to see in reviews. at amazon.
It is a fun toy for a child. He plays with it all the time.
Hours of fun. My 2 yr old loves it and will sing along with the alphabet song. Great toy, worth the money.
