While I love the concept of this item, as it encourages learning while in the bath...I'm disappointed by this particular item. The graphics printed on the front side of each letter and number visually distract from the overall shape making learning and recognition very difficult. If there were no graphics then the size, utility and concept of this item would be perfect. We're going to buy one of the other sets from another comany with no graphics.

I was hoping to see one set of uppercase alphabets from A - Z and one set of lower case. Instead it has two sets of lower case alphabets a-z. I would like to start with uppercase alphabets first - which will be easy for the baby. Also some of them - the color fades and leaves traces in bathtub or in water - which may not be safe for the baby. Not a good but for the money

As with one of the other people who commented, the bubbles and dots on these letters make them very 'busy' and have made it very difficult to grasp the shape of the letters. My son is 22 months and already knows all his uppercase letters, so we bought these so he could learn his lowercase letters, but some of them, like the a painted purple with pink flowers is so busy that he has a hard time telling what it is and calls it an s whenever he sees it. If there are any other plain lowercase letters sets out there, I would recommend those.

Also, they are pretty small so they have a hard time sticking to the bath wall like the bigger ones do and always fall off.

The letters are a bit smaller than we expected

The Color sets are confusing, especially since the d and the p are the same color & interchangeable.

That said, my 2 year old loves her letters any she can get her hands on.. so you get an A for this alphabet.

A-

Hope that helps you with your purchasing decision
Thanks for Reading!

Initially, I was excited by this set thinking that it contained both upper- and lower-case letters. It does not. Also, for those who have just a stopper in the tub, these shapes are small enough to go down the drain.

These aren't so bad, it's just that they are not so good. Larger pieces, both letter types, less distracting print (if any) are what I plan to look for in my next set of bath letters.

My 2-year-old LOVES them! We sing the ABC's and she points to the letters as we sing! She digs the under sea creatures too!

This is a great product. I have a 2 year old and an 8 month old. Both love it. We can teach our son the lowercase letters in the alphabet while having fun! I have searched all over for lowercase letters. Most things come uppercase. My son recognizes all his upercase letters, but non of the lowercase letters. Also, as a bath toy, we can learn while playing in the tube. It also includes numbers and some fun animals shapes as well.

We got these for my letter and number obsessed son when he was 20 mos old or so. He is almost 3 now and still loves them. He plays with them in the bath, brings them in the car and brings them to bed. I like that they are small and durable so I can have a couple in my purse when we go out. I saw complaints about the patterns, personally I like them. My son knew his upper and lower case letters when we got these so we never experienced any confusion but he did like talking about the shapes and colors on them in addition to talking about the letters and numbers themselves. These days he even lets me know which is the six and which is the nine. Although that used to be a favorite game of his turning it back and forth and saying "it's a 6 it's a 9" My only complaint is I wish I could get a smaller set. Since he does take them everywhere we have lost a lot of them and I would like to get a replacement set without having to get the full double set with all of the sea creatures.

These were a little smaller than I would have liked. My daughter is loving them though and plays with them every time she is in tub. They clean up well by throwing them in a laundry bag like others have said and tossing them in the dishwasher. They are holding up very well except for the teeth marks from my daughter in the beginning.

Given that there are NO other lower case tub letters to be found, these are pretty good. A lot of the letters are exactly the same and depend on how you orient them to teach children the differences. For example, 'p', 'b', 'd' and 'q' all look exactly the same (sticks aren't longer, etc.) so sometimes when the child is sorting it looks like there are 8 'p's! All in all tub letters are still one of the best ways to help kids learn letters.
