User Submitted Melissa and Doug See & Spell Reviews (cont...)Date: 2008-06-18 good for letters I bought this based on reviews because I thought my 4 year old would enjoy it. she does, but doesn't play the same way it was intended. She puts all the boards out and then plays "bingo" and puts the letters in wherever they fit. I have to play with her in order to get her to spell in sequence. I really wish all these m&d sets had LIDS on the boxes. Our set only has 8 two-sided tiles, I feel mislead to be honest. It's probably not a huge deal, but it is to me. I didn't even realize it until I noticed the card-thickness piece of foam at the bottom of the box. Overall though, it has play value and it and the box are very durable and the pictures on the cards are vibrant and colorful. Date: 2008-06-17 Great for learning lowercase letters and early reading Our 3yr son loves these puzzles and can do them fairly quickly. Though he can't spell the words yet, he is gradually learning which letters he needs to for each puzzle and I'm sure will soon learn that "cat" spells cat and so on. As others have mentioned, I do wish there was a cover for the letter storage area. We kept the plastic cover from the packaging, but it's flimsy and keeps falling off. Date: 2008-05-29 Excellent Toy 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. Date: 2008-05-17 Very Helpful Educational Toy My little girl is going to kindergarten this year, I got this for her last Christmas and has not played it that much since then. She attended preschool already and we'll be using this again this summer before school starts. It's nice to know that I can pass this along to her younger cousin after she had used it herself. Date: 2008-05-05 It's just ok. This toy is ok. The puzzles are fun, and my 4 year old enjoys them from time to time. It doesn't keep his attention very long. The part I don't like is the storage. The box the puzzles and letters come in is not very sturdy, and there is no lid over top of the letters. It would be nice to have a snap on cover so the letters would be easier to keep track of.
