5.0 out of 5 stars NOTE: these are for the old Word Whammer, and are not compatible with the new one., February 2, 2009

Buyer beware; these letter are the larger heavier magnet letters for the original blue Word Whammer with the red handle on top, and the original Fridge Phonics that is a blue and green square. The newer, smaller white jet ("Leapfrog Fridge Words Magnetic Word Builder") that also spells 3 letter words, and the new "LeapFrog Fridge Phonics Magnetic Alphabet Set" that looks like a yellow star and a blue cloud use smaller, lighter weight letters.

The Leap Frog Fridge Phonics are awesome learning tools and lots of fun. My son just turned three, and knows his alphabet, upper and lower case, by name and all the different sounds each letter makes, and spells 3 letter words and knows how to spell many longer words as well. I can't recommend them enough. He also has the ClickStart computer, the Word Launch 4 letter word builder (with non-magnetic letters), the Turbo-Twist Addition, subtraction, and Phonics, the Little Touch Leap Pad, My First Leap Pad, Leap Pad, and Quantum Pad, Tag, and the 5 Leap Frog DVDs, Math Circus, Letter Factory, Talking Words Factory, Code Word Caper, and storybook Factory. All their stuff is great!

For anyone who has the basic Word Whammer from LeapFrog, the lowercase expansion pack is a must-have. My 4-year-old grandson loved the Word Whammer, but he was even more excited to receive the lower case letters. He learned them very quickly, and they fit into the Word Whammer interchangably with the upper case letters. We've been having a great time learning sounds and spelling words.

1.0 out of 5 stars Letter Expansion Pack Not Compatible with Current Fridge Phonics Products, December 27, 2008

This review is from: LeapFrog Fridge Phonics Lowercase Letters Expansion Pack (Toy)

Although advertised as compatible with ALL fridge phonics sets, I was dissapointed to open the expansion pack on my son's birthday and discover that the letters did not fit his fridge phonics word builder or magnetic alphabet set. A call to Leap Frog to try and resolve the problem was unsuccessful. The company does not seem to understand the meaning of the word ALL. They claim that the phonics products I have are new and the expansion pack is old therefore negating the compatibility. The packaging does not list any product age disclaimers. Luckily, Amazon accepted the return easily.
