The alphabet is a bit more complicated though being 26 different letters to remember plus the sounds they make. I was using flash cards and singing - but needed something else to help along.
That's when I found the Leap Frog Fridge Phonics Magnetic Alphabet Set. My kids are ALWAYS in the kitchen - making it difficult to maneuver around when I am cooking - so this will be working for me in 2 ways with one toy - keeping them entertained while I cook and helping with the alphabet!
Product Details:
- Help reading skills rise and shine with this magnetic letter set! Introduces children to letter names and sounds
- Features big, bright letters that are easy for little fingers to grasp to help develop fine motor skills.
- Sing along to the Alphabet Song.
- Playful phonics songs help children remember the sound each letter makes.
- Includes magnetic letter reader, 26 magnetic letters, and 3 AAA batteries
Why I LOVE the Fridge Phonics® Magnetic Alphabet Set:
- Has separate pieces for each letter
- Goes over the different sounds that each letter can make
- Pieces are big enough for my kids to grip, but small enough to not take over the fridge
- Catchy songs (and not in an annoying way!)
What Would Have Made Me Love It More:
- If it was bilingual (like some other Leap Frog Products)
- If it had a bigger volume control range (the quiet is still loud)
- If it came with a case or box to keep letters together if you don't want them all on the fridge at once
I am so impressed with the speed at which my son and older daughter have picked up on the alphabet since picking up this toy as a Christmas gift. We love to hang out in the kitchen and dance to the alphabet song and to sort out the sounds of each letter.
For anyone trying to teach the alphabet and want to make it as pain-free and fun as possible - this is a GREAT addition to the learning arsenal!
