Buyer Evaluations

My 4-year-old daughter is a former micropreemie and as a result, she is profoundly delayed, non-verbal/non-sign, and has autistic traits and sensory integration dysfunction (SID/DSI). She functions at about a 15-month old level. She got this toy for her birthday and it is Fantastic! She is identifying letters...if I say, "where's the K?" she'll put the K magnet in the toy. Considering that she has autistic traits, she likes repetition, and this is the ideal issue! She is even beginning to say some letter sounds like, "mmm, mmm, mmm". She has Quite a few Leap Frog toys, and this is a different fantastic a single to add to the list My daughter licks everything in sight, like the letter magnets of this toy, and it has not affected the capability of this toy to work.
Note to parents/friends of Autistic/SID/DSI youngsters - My daughter "stims" on a few of her toys, but this 1 does not bring about her to do it as negative. She oftentimes likes to push the button of the toy without a letter tile to hear it go "blingy, bling", and in some cases will push the letter tile/magnet repeatedly at the beginning of the song so it goes, "A/A/A/A...A says/A says...but like I said, not as poor as with other auditory toys.
I do find that I have the "A says ah and A says ayy" song in my head a lot. There are two volume settings and an off switch. Having said that, even on the low setting this toy is awfully loud. We place clear packing tape more than the speaker and that helped a lot. The ABC song and the letter sounds song are the ones you will acquire on other Leap Frog toys and the Leap Frog videos. This is fantastic if you want reinforcement...which my daughter desires.
The magnets are good and strong. If they come off the fridge, they are not as well negative to step on either :-o! ...as opposed to the "traditional" letter/number magnets.
The toy is pretty multisensory - kinesthetic, auditory, visual (color/letter), and tactile. Kudos to Leap Frog for a different amazing educational toy!
My 6 year-old also likes to help his sister with this toy. He loves to arrange the letters for her and quiz her. Then he likes to spell words and educate them to her. The vowels are red and the consonants are yellow or blue. So I ask my daughter to uncover letters based on particular colors to increase the educational value. Sadly, her name has two l's and two e's, so we can't spell her name with the letters.

This is an incredible product. My mother bought it for my 1 year old at Christmas, and even though she doesn't understand it but on an educational level, it works on her motor abilities because she has to choose the letters off of the fridge and put them correctly in the spot for them. She then gets the reward of listening to it sing to her. My four year old daughter will sit in front of the refrigerator for what appears like forever and just arrange the letters in order whilst she sings the alphabet song along with the toy. My oldest daughter who is six will typically even go to the magnets when she is stuck on a reading word and I tell her to sound it out. Lastly, just about every youngster that comes to our residence is drawn to the magnets. They all love it, and so do I !
