Fridge-Letters have grown-up

2008-04-22
My daughter got this as a Christmas gift. She loves to play and dance to the alphabet song and change the letters in the base unit. Other than just learning her letters, my husband and I make simple words and then teach the sound of the word to her. I see that lower case letters are now available and will most likely get them. I hope that the unit lasts long enough(or that it is still available) for my now infant son. It is so much nicer to have a toy like this than plain old letters. I hope to find a magnetic unit like this that has numbers, and I hope it is made by LeapFrog.

We have several LeapFrog toys-games and they all are of good quality and reasonable price for what they are. As my children get older, I hope that LeapFrog will still be around and making toys.

My daughter - A Genius!!!

I know I may be exaggerating just a little, however I believe that this toy is the best way for them to learn their ABCs. When I cook in the kitchen she plays with it on the refrigerator instead of tryin to get to my pots and pans. =) My daughter is 15 months and she humms the tune all day long and she says some of the letters already! It may not be clear, but you know what she is tryin to say! Do you know a 15 month old that can say "w"??? Well now you do!

Easy and fun way for tots to learn their ABC's

Thanks to this toy my daughter knew how to say and recognize all her letters before the age of 3 (without any assistance from me)!!! She would even tell me the sounds they make!! This toy is awesome, definitely worth the price and very durable!! I never had to change the batteries once in the 2 yrs I've had it and for several months my daughter played with it everyday. My kids LOVE this toy!!

Awesome! My 1 year old loves this toy!!

My 1 year old loves his fridge phonics!! Even though it says 2 years plus, he loves trying to fit the magnets into the speaker and pushing all the buttons. Great for motor development. He especially loves listening to it sing the ABC's. He drops it on the floor all the time and sometimes he uses it as a hammer but it hasn't broken yet, so we are definately pleased. We love this product!

Watch out! Catchy tune!

My daughter loves this fridge toy! It keeps her busy while I am preparing dinner. Caution, the song is very catchy. You will find yourself singing along... S says Sssss S says Ssss every letter makes a sound and S says Sssss!

Incredible! My 21 mo. old knows almost entire alphabet

What better way to get your kids to learn the alphabet while also bringing you something from the fridge as you sit back and enjoy the game on TV? This is a great product for kids who want to learn the alphabet and the sounds that each letter makes. It can get a bit annoying to adults if you hear it over and over again, but they were smart and gave an option for a lower volume. This product was a great help to me when teaching my daughter each letter. Now that she knows how to read we passed this down to some of her friends who are learning the letters. It's a great birthday gift for anyone between the ages of 3 and 5 or 6.

Excellent toy for toddlers

I would recommend this toy to all parents of toddlers. My 21 month old learned the entire alphabet in a matter of weeks after receiving this toy as a gift. Product is easy to use and keeps the child interested. My son continues to play with it even though he now knows all his letters. When we're out at a store, people are amazed when he points to signs and yells out the name of each letter. They are surprised to learn how young he is. Highly recommend this as an educational and entertaining toy.

This is a perfect way for toddlers to learn the alphabet letters. The voice and music are very clear and catchy. He's singing the letters when he's not even playing with them because of the tune. Gav recognizes many of them even tho we have not taught them to him.

Great toy

I bought this for my two year old niece and she loves the whole concept of refrigerator magnest so this is not only fun as she can play with the magnets all days but she now also knows the alphabet, I would recommend this to anyone who knows a child eager to learn and play.

	Dora the Explorer Mr. Face Plush Backpack Review: My daughter is a big Dora fan and uses this backpack to carry around her favorite toys and books, which is why I gave it 5 stars for educational value. My friend's daughter has it as well, and love hers too. We've had it 6 months now and it's holding up just fine. The map opens up for an added bonus. My daughter likes to wear it and sing the backpack song from the show.
	Star Wars Episode III: Darth Vader Voice Changer Helmet Wow, do I ever wish they had this out when I was a kid! I bought it, and my wife, kids and I have all been playing with it. It has a chest box with several buttons that plays about 5 of Darth's quotes from the movies, or you can switch it to voice changer. The voice changer is fun! It has 3 different levels of depth for changing the voice. ... A must for Star Wars Geeks!!!!
