Learning Resources Alphabet Soup Sorters - Classroom Letters Must Haves, Ages 3+

fun game to play with all ages. directions were easy to understand. colors are nice. good for fine motor skills, counting, comparing.

My 3 year old daughter LOVES these and can't get enough of them. She loves seperating the different items and walks around with them all day. She even asks for them. They are very well constructed, colorful, and fits perfect in little hands! They are real life images so not to confuse the child which I love. We practice one can per week and at the end of the week, we combine the two. Highly Recommended!!

Hello I received this product as part of the spark reviewer program, and I'm very happy with it! Let's start: The toy comes packed in a big box which contains a "can" (made of cardboard) per alphabet letter (when i saw the picture on the internet I thought that it was made of clear plastic with paper inside, anyway, what matters is the bright idea of the toy, not its construction), and has a plastic lid. Inside each can there is an uppercase and a lower case letter along with some images which its word starts with the letter of the can, and in the backside of the image is the written word for it. So if you want to teach a kid about words and letter association you can mix all the contents and make him sort it and put in the correct can. I'm planning to use this with my nephews and my little kid when he grows up a bit (for my 7 yo boy this is far easy, in fact he wasn't even interested in the game). Now, if you are planning to use this in a school, I believe that it can work great to make little kids understand better the words and letters. The only downside is maybe the construction of the can...I believe that it can be easily bent, or deformed if you don't align the lid properly...other that that this is very good! highly recommendable! Best regards

Amazing concept to help children learn their alphabet! Each individual tin comes with its own pictures cards inside to help the child learn their letter! I received this product from Spark Reviewer and gave it to my friend who has a four year old son who is just now learning his ABC ' s and she was overjoyed with it. The visual appearance of the whole alphabet spelled out on these small cans are great, not only can the child use the pictures inside to learn the letters they can use the cans themselves to spell out words. My friend said within hours her son was spelling out words like ball, cat, dog, and was able to visualize them on the cards that go with each can, great product! No sharp corners or sharp edges, the pictures are cardboard so be careful with little ones such as one year olds who can put them in their mouths, it does have a warning for three years and up so just be wary of younger children getting their hands on these toys. The colors are great and appealing for a child and my friend says keeps her son entertained for hours, far better than a video game or television show could! Well done Spark Reviewer for proving an excellent learning tool, a hands on one at that instead of a computer based one that schools are all using now, the basics are the best. I recommend this to every parent with a child who is learning their ABC's nit only is it easy to use but fun and educational at the same time.

My son loves this!

My two children (age 3 & 6) love this. We use it for eye spy games with the picture cards then they have to put the pictures in the correct soup tin and also to help learn letter sounds. They get very competitive when playing with this together! There are so many ways to use this game. Very educational and fun!

This is so cute. My grandson loves them. We are using them to learn his letters and the sounds they make. The picture quality is great. I wish the cans were all plastic not cardboard, but they are sturdy. The lids are plastic.

I choose this item for my Grandson who is 3 ½ years old and it was a BIG hit on Christmas. This toy aids in the development of basic concepts, supports alphabet awareness, letter sounds and recognition. This toy also helps to improve language skills and spelling, fine motor skills and promotes hand and eye coordination. The Alphabet soup sorters is bright, colorful and eye catching. This toy has 130 photo cards, 52 letter cards and 26 soups cans and lids, this is a lot of pieces to keep up with and little hands are very skilled at misplacing things so this is a concern. The cards should be laminated better, if this toy received heavy use I can see the cards being torn and if they get wet – forgot it. However, I would recommend this toy, it is very interactive and my grandson was so proud of himself when he got the letters correct. This is a confidence booster.

This is definitely an overwhelming set to use all at once. I love that there are enough in one can to focus on a few letters at a time. My kids enjoy the great pictures and shapes of the contents. For my older child (age 4), we practice sounding out the words on the back. The beginning of each word is highlighted so it's easy to identify the beginning letter. This is great for pre-reading and reading practice. Made of durable cardboard -- both the contents and the containers. The lids are made of a flexible plastic.

I think these alphabet soup sorters are fun but not really great for learning. Some of the images end in the letter and not start. I find this confusing for my little one. I feel like they should be all consistent by all starting with the letter. Also fresh out of the box some of the can were already dented, the lids don't fit well, and some of the pieces are already bent. Considering that the box says “ages 3+ and grades Pre K+” I feel like the container and photographic images should be made out of more durable materials. I was most defiantly disappointed the product was already damaged before we got to play with them. On the plus side my daughter loves playing with the colorful images and letters. The set includes 26 Soup cans, 130 photo cars, 26 uppercase letter cards, 26 lowercase letter cards and one activity guide. Each can holds 5 double-sided photo object cars, 1 uppercase letter, and one lower case card. The activity guide can help you teach your little one. We just play with them. We do sometimes take 2 cans and dump them out then sort them back into the right cans. We don't do this with the cans that have picture cards ending in letter. I find this is confusing for my child.
