Gracie has "Leap Frog" letters on the fridge that she likes to play with. If you are thinking about buying them, I totally endorse them. They are sturdy, bulky (so even little uncoordinated hands can handle them), and best of all- three dimensional. Not only can she plug them into the music box and hear the letter sound, name, and a little song, but I like to use them with play-dough. Because they are 3-D you can stamp them in the play dough and letters like A, T, M and more dont come out backwards so it is fun and good practice.
Today, I was loading the dishwasher and when I turned around Gracie had sorted the letters by color and lined them up in rows. I was completely suprised! We haven't really practiced sorting like that and she did it all on her own. When I turned around and saw it I got really excited and told her what a great job she had done. Gracie said "Look, Mama!" and proceeded to go across the rows and name the letters one by one correctly (we have practiced letters). Wow!

We have these same letters but I'd never thought of using them with Play-Dough, great idea! What a smart girl! :)
wow, so I've had that set for how long now, and I never realized that all the vowels are the same color...
little genius on your hands eh?
