5 Stars My kids love it!!
Just received in the mail on Friday and my kids have not stopped playing with the puzzle. They are 3 & 5.

5 Stars Another Great Melissa & Doug Product
We love Melissa & Doug products in our household and this one does not disappoint. My daughter already knows her letters so this is a great toy for helping her learn to spell & read. It’s also great for lower case letter recognition, since we often see upper case letters in toys. I keep the letters in a baggie so that we don’t lose any.

5 Stars Fun + Focused Learning
My 5yr old son loves this game. He is learning to spell and able to focus while doing so. The pictures and tactile letters help. It has provided hours of entertainment. Just don’t let your dog chew on the pieces! The colored paper can come off the tops of the letters from being chewed on.

I highly recommend this game!

4 Stars Good product
The letters seem ok (they don’t seem super durable) and the boards are very colorful. I was missing one of the alphabets and called Melissa & DOug who promised to send the missing alphabet over but havent done so yet.

My 3 year old seems to enjoy playing with it- I am mainly going to use it to familiarize him with the small letters since he has already mastered the capital letters.

5 Stars FUN!
I purchased this for my 2 1/2 yr old nephew and he loves it! His mom is helping him learn the letters (a few of which he already knew).

I am very pleased with the product.

4 Stars Nice toy.
My 18-month old grandson loved carrying it around, pushing the buttons, watching and listening. A good purchase.

4 Stars my 2 year old loves it
Once I was able to get her to understand to not take it off of the fridge, which didn’t take long, this has been a fun toy. Even though she likes magnets that are smaller that she can put on and take off of the fridge, I, as a parent, love this toy because I am not having to pick it up of the floor constantly like some of the other magnetic alphabets.

5 Stars Great musical fun!
Our 15 month old daughter loves all types of music, and we wanted to get something portable for her to listen to. From the moment she got this “radio”, she was hooked. It’s one of the first toys that she grabs each morning, and plays with throughout the day.

Pros:

- Good mix of educational (Alphabet Song, Days of the Week, etc.) and classic music (Old MacDonald, Itsy Bitsy Spider, etc.).

- Easy for a toddler to carry.

- Nice LED display with letters and numbers.

Cons:

- The “classic” songs are music only, no singing.

- The music all sounds a bit computer-generated (ie. MIDI).

- Adults might get tired of hearing that kid’s voice saying “All Right!” after almost every song.

5 Stars best radio for a toddler
This radio is easy enough for my one year old to handle…not all of the toddler radios out there are really easy for them to use. This one has multiple songs that were new to us, as well as some old favorites. They weren’t as annoying as some other musical toys that play the same two songs over and over. My daughter has had it for 5 months and still wants to play with it daily. Her 5 year old sister even enjoys it, as well. Definitely one I would recommend and buy as a gift.

5 Stars Enjoyable, durable and worth the money!!!!!
I bought this radio as a last minute Christmas toy for my son who was 15 months old at the time. It was love at first sight.It was not only the hit of the day but the most enjoyable (for him) toy that I have ever gotten him to date. He carried it around with him most of the time rather than leaving it on the refrigerator but whatever works for him works for me. He loved most of the songs and played them over and over again. He knows all the songs front to back and it took him no time to learn which “station” to turn it to and how many times he needed to push the music button to get to the song he wanted. We also live on a second floor apartment and going though his throwing phase he tossed it of the balcony several times and almost 3 years later it is still going strong. Music, structure and magnet rise. While he no longer plays with it constantly I can tell you that he, 3 years later, still turns it on at least one a day. Anything that costs 20 bucks and lasts more than 6 months (entertainment wise) is well worth the money. I have read comments about the sound quality and loudness of the radio so I thought I would comment on it. The sound quality could be a little sharper but my son was able to learn the sons fine so no complaints from me. As for the loudness, I can hear it from any room in the house, any louder and it might be annoying rather than enjoyable. It would be a top choice for a gift for a child between the aged of 1 and 3.

Sassy Bathtime Fun Appliques 84 Piece Set

Sassy Bathtime Fun Appliques 84 Piece Set



User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great bath time entertainment
These foam letters and numbers are very cute. I love the designs on them. My son just started using them in the bath and he has a blast. I am guessing that he will probably chew through them since they are foam but there are so many that we will have them for a while. Even if we have to throw one out every once in a while. You also have to really read the description because these are only about an inch and a half tall. I bought them thinking they were the bigger ones. Oh well…they will do the job. :)

5 Stars My girls (almost 4yrs) love these!
They were so excited when I got these for them. There is a good selection of letters & numbers & they have fun patterns on them too. When slightly wet they will stick to the bathtub & tiles which is fun. Also as they are foam pieces they are less likely to hold water to cause mildew.

A tip to clean them though, is to throw them in the washing machine in one of those zippered ‘linen’ bags. Just to give them that fresh feel again.

5 Stars great bathtime learning fun!
These appliques are smaller than the regular ones I found in Target by Sassy. There are two set of uppercase alphabets and numbers and also some extra letters that we use more often. thus it is easier for my 4-year-old son to spell some more complicated words. They are smaller, but since we have a small bath tub, I actually prefer the smaller size. Munchkin has a similar product with 84 pieces but only come in with two sets of lowercase alphabets and numbers. It looks like they coming from the same maneufacture… why don’t they work together and put one set uppercase and one set of lowercase in each product?? just a suggestion.
