Kids can also play the alphabet song by pressing the red musical note. In addition, a handy off-soft-loud control allows parents to change the volume and keeps the music at an enjoyable level. Vibrant colors and a sassy green frog captivates the kids and adds to the fun. This educational toy's durable plastic construction holds up to rough toddler play. Three AAA-size batteries are provided. Award-Winning Features

 Fun June 23, 2008
My 20 month old daughter loves to play with this today. She is recognizing letters everyday.
If I could give 10 stars, I would! June 11, 2008
This is such a simple toy, but it's worth it's weight in gold (though, it's usually the simple toys that are). My not yet 2-1/2 year old son, has already started reading, and I give a great deal of credit to this toy that he received as a gift for his first birthday.
At about 10 months old he could recognize 2 capital letters, M and O, about 2 months after playing with this toy, which he was ecstatic about, he could recognize all the capital letters and knew they phonetic sounds. By 18 months he could recognize about 80 percent of all lower case letters, and make the correlation that they were the same as their capital counter parts. By 20 months, I could say a word and he could tell me the first letter of the word. He's now reading 3 letter words, what most teachers refer to as "sight" words", which are more a matter of memorizing the look of the whole word rather than breaking down its components.
Of course, there is no "miracle" toy to teach your child to read, and I used this in conjunction with other educational exercises, tv shows, books, and toys, but I do give it complete credit for his phonics learning.
One hint I would give for use with this and ANY/EVERY toy is : don't send your child off to play alone. Take the time to sit down and enjoy the toy with them. One reason is that as simple as pushing a button is, that is not something that is intuitive to a child. Children need to be taught how to "play" with their toys, especially educational toys, or they just won't take full advantage of the toy's full potential. And the second reason is because at that age, everything in life is more fun, more vivid, more full of flavor, and therefore more absorbed, when you have your Mommy of Daddy their sharing it with you.
So to anyone really interested in getting a headstart for your children, I would highly suggest this toy. In fact, every Leap Frog toy, we've tried has yielded a similarly "miraculous" experience. Happy learning!
Fantastic June 2, 2008
Our 17-month old loves this. Sings along, loves to switch the letters in and out. It's wonderful.
Fridge-Letters have grown-up April 22, 2008
My daughter got this as a Christmas gift. She loves to play and dance to the alphabet song and change the letters in the base unit. Other than just learning her letters, my husband and I make simple words and then teach the sound of the word to her. I see that lower case letters are now available and will most likely get them. I hope that the unit lasts long enough(or that it is still available) for my now infant son. It is so much nicer to have a toy like this than plain old letters. I hope to find a magnetic unit like this that has numbers, and I hope it is made by LeapFrog.
We have several LeapFrog toys-games and they all are of good quality and reasonable price for what they are. As my children get older, I hope that LeapFrog will still be around and making toys.
My daughter - A Genius!!! April 18, 2008
I know I may be exaggerating just a little, however I believe that this toy is the best way for them to learn their ABCs. When I cook in the kitchen she plays with it on the refrigerator instead of tryin to get to my pots and pans. =) My daughter is 15 months and she humms the tune all day long and she says some of the letters already! It may not be clear, but you know what she is tryin to say! Do you know a 15 month old that can say "w"??? Well now you do!
