She lives in KS and I live in AK so I was not there to see her when she opened her gifts, but my DIL says she has been playing with it constantly. <br /> <br />Gifts that are educational are fantastic.

I thought it might get them a little more familiarized with their ABC's. To my surprise, one of my girls had her ABC's learned in no time. She spent days on end playing with it. One day while coloring I starting writing letters, and she was naming them all. My other daughter has a short attention spane and she has even picked up on several of the letters. It will certaily grow with them. I'll probably purchase a new one soon, as the writing area has seen better days. Other than that, it works great.

First, in the spelling game, it's more fun for a child to pick the wrong answers because the toy makes a large variety of very funny sounds whenever the child chooses the wrong letter. If the child chooses the right letter, the toy's response is a very boring, "That's right," or something like that. Secondly, and not so serious, there's no option to just hear the sound of each letter. With every single letter the toy asks the child to write the letter. In the phonics portion of the toy it would be more appropriate to state a word or two that begin with the letter rather than ask the child to spell the letter. The toy doesn't state any words at all in the phonics part. It is rated as suited for children 3 and over and I would agree--it is not suitable for a 2-year-old.
