I love Plan Toys, however these alphabet letters were a bit of a disappointment.

The colors are not as vivid as they look like in the picture. The red and blue is faded to a washed out shade. The letters are made of compressed board or something, so you can see the particle board texture mixed in with a little faded color.

The letter H was extremely rough and not the same smooth texture as the majority of the other letters. Perhaps it missed getting sanded down. Quite a few of the letters had dings and other imperfections, like small chunks missing out of them such as one would find if a little dog had chewed on them.

Maybe the set I received was defective, but the particle board is still really weird.

On the other hand, the cards are very sturdy and the pictures are super cute. The letters do fit perfectly on the outline. It's too bad the letters themselves are so poor.

I wanted to give this toy 5 stars, as it is such a creative concept and overall it is well-executed, but a few things detract from its success. One of the cards in the set came out of the package with a rip in it and it's clear that they are not particularly durable. Also, there are no grooves in the letters to fit the blocks into (as there are in the numbers equivalent set), so there isn't that satisfying "click" of getting the letter into the corresponding piece. Also, the illustrations are good but not great (but the creativity behind them is definitely 5 star quality). The letters are a nice size, and although I wish the colors were brighter in the actual wood, overall it's still a very colorful set. I do not think it is worth the thirty dollar plus asking price, but for something in the fifteen dollar range, this would be a great toy with much educational and artistic value.

Was hesitant to order this because of price and durability of some of the other Plan Toys things we have. This is the first alphabet thing we've bought that our twins are actually excited about (we have activity cube, books, flash cards, etc.) Something about pulling the letters out of a bag, letters perfectly sized for their hands and then having something to match them with. The quality is excellent -very strong, smooth letters. We have the Plan Toys nesting bowls that were of thinner wood that breaks easily. These letters seem very tough to snap. Our twins love the matching to the animal cards as well. Well worth it.

Well-made and cute modern product good for kids 18 months to 4 years for take-along fun. We have ours in the car and it's great. I put out only a couple of pairs out for my younger son. I do all of them for my 4 year old.

We love this product. It keeps my 26 month old busy and it's a great way to practice recognizing letters. She can play with it independently or with an adult. If you have a child that likes puzzles and matching they will love this too. I just purchased the Plan Toys Numbers and can't wait to start using that one as well.
