May Increase Vocabulary!
By A1E7QLJVWNFOZY on 2007-08-10
In our experience, the images have helped to expand my son's vocabulary. We live in the desert, and rarely have the need for an umbrella. I was surprised when my son saw an umbrella for the first time, and connected it to the Alphabet Art Puzzle.
The puzzle encourages thinking, and matching, but I'm not sure it helped to teach the alphabet. In addition, some of the images are too goofy for this age group. For instance, a piece of Rope is shaped into the letter "R," but my 3-year old doesn't associate with such a thing. Another example of this, is the letter "Y" for Yarn. Wouldn't a Yo Yo be a better solution? The raised pieces do offer a new motor challenge from knobs, but they are too shallow for the board. I can't seem to move this puzzle without dropping several pieces on the floor. My son found this frustrating as well.
What's more, I think the age recommendation needs to be adjusted. I purchased the Alphabet Art Puzzle when my son was 2-years and 4-months old. It's recommended for children 3 and up, so I thought it would make a good choice. It didn't challenge him at all, and he's delayed in fine motor skills. The second time he worked it, he completed it in less than 4-minutes by himself. That said, my son has benefited from the puzzle. He likes working it, and continues to ask questions about the pictures.
My son loves it!

My son received this for Christmas and loves it. It's recommended for ages 3 & up but he is only 19 months and can easily match up the pieces since there is a picture of the matching piece underneath. It would be great if the pieces could stay attached with tiny magnets or something because they do come out easily as far as storing goes. Highly recommended regardless!
Awesome alphabet puzzle!
By AD15387OCQTJB on 2008-01-07
This alphabet puzzle is awesome; I think my kid even likes it, too! The artwork is phenomenal, and the letters' corresponding words aren't too abstract for young minds. I gave the "durability" a less than perfect score only because I'm a little nervous that the puzzle pieces/letters might snap if my toddler steps on them too much; they aren't so thick that they're indestructible. Overall, though, I love this toy! -I've bought it for two kids, so far, and won't hesitate to do so again!
another excellent melissa and doug product
By A1FFLRQNF8KW8F on 2008-01-13
Both my children have enjoyed this ABC product. I am always happy with Melissa and Doug products. My 2 year old received this for Christmas and loves the realistic pictures of the animals, some of the aminals are hard the figure out for her but with my explanation she caught on quick. The only concern I have is the durability of the puzzle pieces because she can be rough with them. But I will continue to purchase Melissa and Doug products for their quality, price and educational value.
Beautiful puzzle...not for alphabet beginners
By AOLRZ59003N71 on 2008-04-29
This is such a beautiful puzzle and my toddler loves it. I bought it thinking I could help him learn the alphabet but the puzzle pieces are not really shaped like the alphabet and the picture on the puzzle peice is dustracting from the letter it is supposed to represent. Otherwise a great puzzle for older kids.
