Letters are not cut out in letter shape.
I bought this for my 2 year old who has done other similar puzzles, but this one was almost impossible because the letters are not cut out in the correct shape (more like a cicle/square). So, this is way too difficult for her to do. I put it into storage until she is older. I would not buy this alphabet puzzle, but one that has the letters actually cut out and matching the background.

nice puzzle
This is a nice sturdy puzzle, which my toddler loves. Also I would like to add that "F" is for "fish" not bird, and I don't really think that these symbols are too obtuse for a young kid learning the alphabet. The pegs are a good size for little hands too.

a great way to learn your a-z's
I love Melissa and Doug products. I bought this for my 16 month old and its not exactly her level yet. It was still a good investment!!! I would really recommend it for a 2 1/2/3 year old which is what it says anyway. My daughter does enjoy throwing the pieces around. HAHA!

Educational, but weird choice of symbols
We like Melissa and Doug puzzles, but this one is a little different. The alphabet pieces are easy to maneouvre, like their other puzzles, but the ideas that they chose to represent each letter are sometimes weird/confusing.

A is for apple, B is for basket, C for carrot, D for duck, E for egg (why is the egg blue? My kid thought it was a balloon), F has a picture of a bird, implying 'feather'. Too off-track for my 2 year old.
Other unusual ones: I is for insect. J is for jumprope, Q is for Quail. T for tie, V for vine, Y for yarn.

Why didn't they choose items that weren't so 'obtuse', like F is for foot, I is for ice cream, Q is for quilt, or 'quack' (duck)T is for toes, V is for vaccuum, Y is for yam/yogurt/yellow...why didn't they hire me? ;)

By the time my kid knows these words himself, he will be too old for the manipulative side of the puzzle.

So, you have to be ready to do the puzzle with your young child, if you are practicing words.
