Great for a 2 year old

My son started with this puzzle just before his 2nd birthday and now just 4 weeks after his birthday, he already knows all the letters and the sounds they make.

I agree with the other posters that some of the images under the letters could have been more thoughtout. A for Airplane and J for Jet is confusing. L has a Ladybug on a Leaf...but still not really concrete. W for wagon, but there is also a horse in the picture... Issues like this can be overlooked because of the quality of the puzzle however.

Overall, I think it's a great starting tool for ABCs.

Great Buy!

I got this back when my son was only about 9 months old to supplement my home-made flashcards & the educational videos. I didn't take out the plastic at that time since I know he'd just eat them. I just let him point out the letters besides the alpha blocks that he's also learning from. To make a long story short, my son's mastered the alphabet at 14 months old (& to think he was 5 wks preemie when he was born) both the upper and lower case letters and all the letter sounds. Also, the main thing that made him extremely excited and interested are the animals behind the letters since he's familiar with all of them. Now at 18 months and with a vocabulary of over a hundred, he's reading the words that he used to know by recognition only. He can actually read now and builds the words using the letters on this puzzle. It's cheap but learning with it lasts a lifetime! Great buy indeed!

Alphabet Puzzle

We puchased this puzzle for our daughter's third birthday. She already knows most of her letters and which words begin with what letters, so we thought this puzzle would be good practice. The pictures under the letters were not always chosen well. For example, A is an airplane with jet engines and J is a jet plane. L is a picture of bugs - one of which is a ladybug and W is a horse and wagon. She actually has to know the letter to best decide what the picture represents. A good product, but not the best it could have been.
