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.
One of the best "toys" we have! January 11, 2007

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!
My 3 years old loves it and it doesnt make a mess! October 18, 2007

I bought this for my son because he loves puzzles and putting things in outlined areas. i also bought it because it comes with a case that holds all the letters and boards. when things have a specific place my son always cleans up after himself, which is nice. so far ive had it about a month and he has played with it everyday and whenever he completes them he runs over to me and tells me to look at his work. he gets very excited over this and it is sturdy. he has yet to break any one the letters. the colors are very bright and it comes with plenty of extra letters. very cool!

My grandson is just under three and he loves doing these puzzles. I placed the letters for each two sided puzzle in a small plastic bag and printed the words on the label of each bag.Enough letters come with the puzzles to do this with a few extra letters left over. In this way, it is easier for a young preschooler to be successful. I began letting him choose the puzzle and giving him the correct bag with the letters in it. He has progressed to the point that he can find the correct bag of letters himself by looking at the labels on the bags. He puts the letters back in the bag after he has done a puzzle. He seems to have no problem with the effort this organization requires and is learning quite a few sight words. Happily, he thinks this is a lot of fun and it beats having letters all over the house.
