Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug See & Spell
Customer Review: Wonderful learning tool with 1 tiny flaw
Summary: 4 Stars
My son really loves this "toy"; it's more of a learning wooden puzzle for each word. I love that it has a picture of what it is "the sun" and then he can spell it out s...u...n. Good connection and thinking tool. It's extremely solid and quality.
The only problem I have with it is certain letters are "tooled" to only fit one way and it frustrates the heck out of my 3, almost 4 year old. The "S" letter can only be inserted one way, not upside down. So it enraged him and we had a 5 minute tantrum about the letter "S"! Same for "u" and "n", they can't be used upside down, you have the find the correct letter and place it in the correct way - perfectly. This really frustrates, but other than that, GREAT TOY and learning fun!
It has lots of lengthy potential. I can see him playing with this years from now. Thanks Mellisa & Doug you really made learning fun!
Customer Review: Excellent Educational toy!

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.
Customer Review: wonderful idea
Summary: 5 Stars
I think these word puzzles are a wonderful idea! My 3 yr old son just loves letters and words. He really enjoys putting these word puzzles together. There are a lot of loose letters in the box so he only plays with this with my supervision. Three might be a little young for some children to be interested, but if your child already loves anything with letters, they will like this. Also, a good idea for kindergarten age children to learn to start recognizing basic words and finding letters out of the stack. I actually find all the letters needed for the two words on the board and then allow my 3 yr old son to put them together as we go over the letter names. This keeps him from getting frustrated with too many letters to sort through. As he gets older he will then be able to sort them out for himself. Overall great toy.Customer Review: Wonderful Toy - My Son Actually LIKES IT!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this in October for my sons 3rd Birthday. He loves it. I was actually surprised at how much this puzzle held his attention. He knows some of his letters, but not all and I think this will really help familiarize him with the alphabet in a way that I would be unable to do with flash cards or work books. I highly recommend this. Also teaching him word recognition and he likes to try sounding out letters now to. Granted he doesn't usually match up the right sounds with the right letters, its still super productive. Since he's able to see the picture that the word describes he's now actually matching the phonics to the letters. This toy isn't going to teach him how to read, but I think it is a great tool to help familiarize a toddler with the phonological aspect of words. BUY it! BUY IT NOW!Customer Review: Excellent Toy
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
