I brought Fridge Phonics for my 3 year old niece who didn't even know what the alphabet was!
When we opened it, we immediately called it 'her abc's' and she cottoned onto that straight away.
We took out the main unit and put it straight on the fridge, then we stuck all the letters onto the fridge. We then showed her how to put the letters in by herself - they just need to sit a certain way up in the unit - very easy for small and patient hands. Then she presses the letter in and it sounds a little song 'a says a, a says a, every letter makes a sound, a says a'.
There is another button on the unit which when pressed sings the whole alphabet - it says 'zed' instead of 'zee' which is nice too!
Within a few weeks she was able to copy the song, and a few weeks later could pre-empt the sounds and started distinguishing between the different letter sounds.
I also said that my sister needed to join in with singing to give my niece the confidence in herself and as my sister spends a lot of time in the kitchen this is a perfect way for them to interact in a pleasant and educational way.
A very good buy, would recommend to anyone!

I bought this when my daughter was 15 months old. I stuck it on to the fridge for her to play with due to the songs and colours, but had absolutely no expectations due to her age. How wrong was I? By 16 months she knew all the alphabet and their sounds. I didn't realise until I was sat reading with her one day and she started to point the letters out to me. To say I was amazed is an understatement. Definately recommend.

My daughter has enjoyed playing with this toy for the last six months - she is now 2 3/4.
She loves the toy & enjoys recognising the letters & playing with them (on their own as well as with the unit).
No miracles in reading, but she can see her own name, M for mama; D for dada and several of the other letters.
Something that takes as much repetition as learning the alphabet is strongly encouraged by a toy like this. She is now becoming interested in what words are & how to spell them.
As it sits quietly on the fridge, and is available to play with whenever we are in the kitchen, it is an educational "free lunch".
We got our unit with UPPER CASE letters. Check this out; there is an UPPER CASE expansion pack if you buy a unit with lower case letters. Ultimately, you will want both.

Fun toy....a little pricey
Bought this for my 18 month old nephew. He definitely enjoys planing with it. Happy there's a volume button as well as an off button for the music.

It's ok...
The kids get bored with it because it's the same tune for each letter. I think the word-making option would be better, but I don't have that one so can't really say. Read more

teaches name first then sound
This is magnetic as are all the letters that go with it so very handy in that regard. It sings a song when the letter is pressed in the base, the song gives the letter name first... Read more
