Creative fun idea – just a little worried about smeared paint? – I haven’t tried playing with this item with my child yet as the one I had received seemed used/damaged (through no fault of the seller, who has been excellent to work with!), but it seems like it’s going to be a really great toy once we receive a new set. The colors are very bright and there is something very fun and almost soothing about popping them together and hearing that tiny “pop!” sound. Two caveats: this could have just been the item I had received, but the painted letters had smeared on about 40% of the pops, raising concerns that a teething child might be ingesting a mouthful of paint. Also, the fact that there are only 13 sets (double-sided, to make the whole alphabet) will make it tricky to spell words or to find certain letters (for example, if the “A” side of a pop is up on the floor and you ask your child to find the “M” pop, she won’t be able to unless she knows it’s on the back of the A or flips the A over to see…). You could probably use this to your advantage with an older child to make it more fun/add more mystery – but just something to be aware of. That said, besides the paint smearing issue (which I assume was just with my set), this seem like they will be a big hit, as they are colorful and delicious looking – and the perfect size and feel for small hands. I’ll update this once I get the replacement set and try it out with my 18 month old (who I think will be too young for this, but will probably like sorting the colors and making them pop into each other!). Update: the new set does NOT have the smeared paint and is great fun! We even play with them in the bathtub. At 18 months, my baby is able to clip the pieces together by herself about 60% of the time — and enjoys the challenge. We’re using them just for colors now – but will have fun with letters when she is ready! I’m adding back the star I had taken off b/c of the paint. 🙂 [oh, and the price on Amazon is the best one around right now]

Nice, colorful, easy for little hands – I didn’t read it well and didn’t realize that half of alphabet is on one side the other half is on the back side, my grandson is autistic and likes things to line up therefore even though he has been going to M then flipping them I ordered a second set so he will have the entire alphabet on both sides

Great for learning lowercase or upper case letters separately. – At first I thought, I should have read reviews more clearly because I did not realize that there would only be 13 sets and different letters posted on each side. This was a little bit annoying, because I really think you should have a full set of the popsicles, so you can line them up for alphabet learning. However, I’m not completely disappointed by these. My biggest reason for buying them was to help my child learn his lowercase letters. He already knows all his capital letters, so I want to use these to help him with his lower case, which can be done in a few ways. Sure, I can’t put them all out with both uppercase and lowercase, but I can lay them all out as single popsicles with all 26 letters showing in lowercase. I also can flip them over and have all uppercase letters showing. In this case, my child can learn his lower case. He doesn’t have to associate them with the uppercase ones, because that will come once he knows them all. Also, at that point, he can put them together and they only fit one way, so there is no way to accidently match the letter A with the letter n, just because it is on the opposite side. I do, however, think I am going to buy another set so that I can have the whole set of alphabet to use for other things. So far, I’ve only had them for a couple hours, despite my child’s obsession with letters, he seems more interested in matching the colors together. I think in this sense, the letter recognition is a little to easy, since every letter can only match one way and with the same color. I think it may have been better if there was not as many colors so there was room for correction. However, I’m sure this was made as a self-correcting toy, but it doesn’t allow for a child to really have to think about whether the two matching color pieces were put together because their letters matched. My son is more focused on the fact that the colors match and by default would get the letters right all the time, even if he really didn’t know them. So in all, I am not completely disappointed, I wish there were more popsicles, but there are things that you can still do with these that make them worthwhile. Also, the material seams pretty good quality and better than really hard plastic which is nice for little hands. The letters may eventually wear off, but by that point, I’m sure my child will know his alphabet fully and want to use them for something else. For the cost, I think you get what you expect. I don’t think that the price I paid was too much and the cost of educational, durable toys these days would definitely be more if they made the whole set single-sided. So I would recommend this product to anyone that really wants to focus on alphabet learning and not just matching of alphabet letters!

Pretty close to perfect – As a learning tool for ny daughters, I think this is awesome. As toddlers, they can match the colors as they’re still learning their letters and they’ve had a blast playing with them so far. They’re durable plastic, but not hard so my teething 4 month old likes to munch on them too. I am a little bummed because our set had some duplicates, we have 2 Fs, 2 Js, and 2 Ms. So we’re missing letters of the alphabet

Wish they weren’t 2-sided – Had to buy 2 sets to get the whole alphabet. That really felt unnecessary to have to buy it twice. These would be way better if they were a full A-Z set all on one side. They are so visually appealing.

Wouldn’t waste my money on these again. – Some holes are way too loose and the pops don’t stay together and some were misprinted, Thought it was a cute idea for learning cap and small case letters but not impressed with the product.
