🔡 Melissa & Doug Alphabet Self-Correcting Developmental Toy Review

I usually like Melissa and Doug products, but this went really wrong. The parts are very fragile and cannot be used immediately because pieces of wood are attached. Not safe for children product. The images are also very thin and one of the words has already been cut out. They won't last long even if you let your child play with them despite the broken pieces. Good idea but terrible execution.

I ordered a birthday present for my daughter. We decided to give it to her a little earlier and thank god we did. If we had waited it would have been by the back window. Two letters and two double letters are missing. The wood is quite strong but some parts were difficult to take apart and put back together with my daughter. She had fun playing with some letters. I end up sending it back hoping to get all the letters in the next box.

We were looking for other ABC puzzles for our little one. She loves to draw and play with wooden figures in different ways. If we draw her attention to just one or two at a time, she will match the letters and pictures. The parts are stronger than we expected and are not that difficult to put together. She also likes to make little tents or stacks out of them and finds them funny because they differ in shape and material from regular blocks or magnetic tiles. The box is large for easy cleaning.

I am ordering for my granddaughter who just started kindergarten this year. I plan to use it to help her learn the alphabet. The dimensions of the puzzles are perfect, they are thick, the colors/images are bright. They come in a wooden box. Good value for money. Highly recommended. **To update. My grandkids aged 3-5 enjoy playing these puzzles. I've found that it's better to work with a small number of puzzles at a time. Because the whole set can be overwhelming when kids are just starting out.

Very disappointed with this product which shocked me because M&D is usually such a high quality. I wish I had read the low star reviews before purchasing. The wood split on our first use and the paper began to peel when we first split the pieces.I would almost be willing to deal with paper peeling but splitting wood is unacceptable!Unfortunately I bought this a few months before giving it to my daughter and am now unable to return it so frustrated by this because now I am going to remember this

Cool concept but somewhat skimpy execution. The material from which it is made is cheap, so unfortunately there are splinters (not critical, but still). In addition, after some time (in our case - maybe 2-3 times), the paint began to peel off. but these puzzles are fairly cheap and are often offered at a discount. So if you're waiting for a discount, it might be worth it. My son generally likes puzzles, we have a lot of them, but he lost interest after the first time. Not because it was…
