The girl I nanny for loves this! I wish the fonts matched because the G on the block doesn’t look like the G in the words on the cards. I am tempted to make them look the same and drawing on the cards but i don’t know yet. The card when put into the little slit is kind of covered so we don’t use it and lay it angled instead. I would still recommend !

Couldn't read the letters very well, so I colored them in with felt tip pens, adds a bit of bling to them. Easier for little child to read the letters.

My son loves “activities” and we love to keep him off of screens. This activity is perfect for his stage of reading- he cannot quite recognize words by sight but he knows all of his letters well and is learning to put them together to spell words. He is very proud that he is able to spell words with this without having to have the patience it takes to write out letters. It’s great for in the car, too. The only negative I have on this product is that the word on the card is hidden in the slot if you place it in fully. In this photo I have just the edge in the slot. Nice feature if your kid already knows the word spellings- you can hide the word and spell it out with the cubes. My son usually just sets the card to the side and spells the word. The boxes for the blocks to go into is perfect for kids like him that need things to go in their place.

For the price, it’s decent value, as it’s all wood. The squares are all crooked/wonky on mine. The letters on the blocks are laser etched, which is fine, but I would be nice to have a contrasting color. It’s sad for a spelling game when it has a glaring spelling mistake on the box. It could be improved with a slot that lets you put in the card and still see the word. Overall, my 3yo son is having fun making words and spelling with it, so we’ll keep using it.

My and son and I have a great time playing with this toy. It's educational and great for when you travel. It all wood and super cute!

Well thought out activity with attractive wooden dice and tray that seem handmade in part. Some of the letters can be seen in part in some cards, which is fine with me as it still accomplishes the outcome.

Exactly what I need to teach my toddler. it's versatile because you can add more cards by printing your own. The wooden box is also great to use to practice letters in sand. The only thing I didn't like is that the picture of the "worm" doesn't match the word. It's a snake. But that can be fixed.

My granddaughter loved it. Great teaching tool.

I love this. Its a fantastic way for children to being a journey of discovering letters, words and reading. Just a little introduction as to how it works and they're off exploring on their own. Also a great conversation starter into letter sounds and how to put sounds together for reading.

I had high hopes for this for my pre-schooler. Overall, I felt it was worth keeping, and with a few simple modifications I think it would be perfect. Problem 1 - the holder for the cards has a pre drilled groove where you insert the card. It’s too deep, so the card falls down into the holder and cuts off the word the child is supposed to be spelling. Frustrating for a 4-year old. I ended up just putting the card on the floor and not using the holder at all. Problem 2 - The writing on the cards has a very “Asian” flare so my son did not recognize certain letters like W, for instance. The lettering on the cards also don’t match the lettering of the blocks, making it even more confusing for the child. Overall, I like the concept and of these few simple modifications were made, it would be great.
