Poor design DO NOT RECOMMEND

I DO NOT recommend this product. As a mom and former preschool teacher, this toy is very poorly designed and pretty much useless as a teaching tool. Expecting people to buy 2 sets to have the full alphabet is completely ridiculous. If I knew that half the alphabet is printed on the front and half on the back, I wouldn't even think of buying it. We are sending it back because it was too confusing for our 4 year old who we bought it for. It would be so much more since you print the same letter on

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Not bad

Ugh why educational resources whyuuu

LR used to be one of our favorite educational toy companies for kids but wow the quality of their products just dropped. We have it. I bought 2 sets as recommended because there are 2 different types of letters on each side of the popsicle (which confuses kids) and when I received them the quality of the paint was terrible! Colored paint is mottled or there is no "sticky" color following the color. They're meant to look cheap, and they're not. When my son tries to put the right popsicles…

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Not sure

Good but not sure if it's worth the money

The first set I received had a typo on one of the popsicles corresponding from H to U. I was able to easily return it and they sent me a second set that was fine. The sticks themselves are strong. They don't connect as well as I expected for the price. Also, the colors and lettering aren't as bright or vibrant and look and feel kind of dull. They will still work as intended, but I won't rave about them or recommend them as long as they're available at this price point ($25). There are so many…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Compatibility

Good set but multiple letters per letter

My son loves this set, it's fun and colorful and it's a great way to learn both upper and lower case letters. Most alphabet toys on the market focus on either uppercase or lowercase letters only. I wish I could give the product 5 stars but there is one main reason I can't. . . . There are different letters on each side of the pop. For example Aa and Tt at the back so this can be confusing for kids just starting to learn ABC there. I knew this would upset my son, so I bought two sets and removed

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Includes negative

Younger children will need a manual

My 2 year old daughter and I love this toy but it's not quite perfect. As some reviewers have pointed out, there are thirteen pairs of popsicles, not twenty-six. Letters are printed on both sides, not just one. It suits me personally. At the age of two my daughter needs me to play an educational toy with her so I can say the name of each letter out loud and show her the correct one. Educational toys require a passionate teacher to get the ball rolling! She can't put the lollipops together yet…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
