I was looking for some magnetic letters to put on the fridge and we received this as a gift for my 26 month old daughter. I love this thing. She is also learning the sounds. We have had it for about two months now and she now knows all of the letters and most of the sounds. She plays with it everyday several times a day. Most toys she gets tired of after a few days or hours but this one keeps her pretty entertained and is educational too. I also used them to teach her the colors blue, red, yellow and green and she likes to group the letters according to color as well. When she gets a little older I will prob buy the lower case set of letters to use with it.

This is such a simple toy, but it's worth it's weight in gold (though, it's usually the simple toys that are). My not yet 2-1/2 year old son, has already started reading, and I give a great deal of credit to this toy that he received as a gift for his first birthday.
At about 10 months old he could recognize 2 capital letters, M and O, about 2 months after playing with this toy, which he was ecstatic about, he could recognize all the capital letters and knew they phonetic sounds. By 18 months he could recognize about 80 percent of all lower case letters, and make the correlation that they were the same as their capital counter parts. By 20 months, I could say a word and he could tell me the first letter of the word. He's now reading 3 letter words, what most teachers refer to as "sight" words", which are more a matter of memorizing the look of the whole word rather than breaking down its components.
Of course, there is no "miracle" toy to teach your child to read, and I used this in conjunction with other educational exercises, tv shows, books, and toys, but I do give it complete credit for his phonics learning.
One hint I would give for use with this and ANY/EVERY toy is : don't send your child off to play alone. Take the time to sit down and enjoy the toy with them. One reason is that as simple as pushing a button is, that is not something that is intuitive to a child. Children need to be taught how to "play" with their toys, especially educational toys, or they just won't take full advantage of the toy's full potential. And the second reason is because at that age, everything in life is more fun, more vivid, more full of flavor, and therefore more absorbed, when you have your Mommy of Daddy their sharing it with you.
So to anyone really interested in getting a headstart for your children, I would highly suggest this toy. In fact, every Leap Frog toy, we've tried has yielded a similarly "miraculous" experience. Happy learning!

Our 17-month old loves this. Sings along, loves to switch the letters in and out. It's wonderful.
