Kids can also play the alphabet song by pressing the red musical note. In addition, a handy off-soft-loud control allows parents to change the volume and keeps the music at an enjoyable level. Vibrant colors and a sassy green frog captivates the kids and adds to the fun. This educational toy's durable plastic construction holds up to rough toddler play.

Excellent learning tool and fun!
I bought this for my 4 year old who is a little behind in his age targets and is just learning his ABCs. He loves putting the letters in and hearing the song and sings along to the ABC song when you push the button. We play a game where I ask him to find a specific letter, he runs to find it, and then we listen to the song. A good way to saturate the house with ABCs.
It's Not Just for Children
Over the years I have purchased one of these for each of my 4 grandchildren. During a recent conversation with a fellow work collegue who is a college grad student from China, she expressed her frustration with her inability to pronounce many English words correctly. I thought if it could help my grandchildren, it would be a great tool to help her. I was right, SHE LOVES IT!
Awesome!
Great product for our 17-month-old who loves to hear the alphabet song (over and over and over - ugh)... and who is just starting recognize/say some letters! Very durable as she drops the letters all the time.
Great Learning Tool; but Do Monitor the Letter Sounds
I bought this toy for $[...] w/free shipping (had over of Christmas items purchased) back in December. I wanted our 2 year old to have a learning type toy in the kitchen to play with while I cooked. She has had little to no interest in letter recognition/etc...have tried books, songs, videos--nothing sparked a willingess to focus on the ABC's.
We have had so much success w/this product in just two months. She knows all her letters by sight, recognizes many sounds and can select the right starting letter if I give her a word, and will whisper sing through much of the ABC song that the toy plays.
This product also allows the kids to work on the few colors involved w/the toy, and categorizing the letters by color.
I have not had the problems w/the wrong sounds coming out of the toy to the level that many seem to have had. I did notice that "Z" will 9/10 times say the "W" sound. I just correct it for our daughter by singing loud over the toy and giving her words that start with "Z". (The packaging was gone by the time we discovered this issue...so we deal w/it.)
Overall, I am very pleased w/the toy and it's a great learning tool for our 2 year old. If the sound issues were corrected, it would be a top-rated toy for us.
