I purchased these links for my son at around age 4-5 months. He's loved them ever since, even now at 11 months. They are a top 2 or 3 favorite amongst all of his toys.

The different colors and textures are great, although I do wish there was a little more variety in my batch - I seem to have gotten a lot of plain orange letters.

They link together easily, but as one reviewer mentioned, some of the openings (the "J" and "D") are large, and links can come apart and fly across the room or car. Luckily, I haven't lost any yet.

I like that there are so many links in this set and they are priced well; however, they probably aren't that practical for teaching letters. As another reviewer mentioned, the shapes are not consistent - some are outlines, while some are actual letters.

That being said, I would get them again and again for my son. They provide him hours of entertainment and help develop his fine motor skills.

Seems like a good idea, but in execution, these do not act as links very well, and the varied ways that the letters are depicted is confusing. As links, some of them (B, S, D in particular) open easily and detach from other links. Also, the narrow areas in some of the links, like K, make other links not hang well. As letters, the depictions are too varied. Some of the letters are plainly depicted, like B, D, O, Q, S, but others are outlines, making the representation inconsistent and confusing.

These links are great, in theory, but if you expect them to actually "link", they don't stay together. I've found that the Bright Starts links are much better (and they're cheaper, too). We use links to chain toys to the car seat, high chair, etc., to keep them off the floor. I hooked these up to one of my 5 month old daughter's rattles and it promptly came unhooked because the chain of links broke. We will use these more for learning colors and letters than as links.

Great introduction to letters and colors. Individual letters are made of a soft rubber type material, making them a suitable teething toy. I purchased this for my friend's grandson. As we handed him one, we would tell him what the letter was. He is now beginning to recognize the letters and colors. We say a letter and he will reach for it. Of course, he puts it straight in his mouth still - but we hope he will soon do more than just chew on them.

We love links in our house - fun by themselves or to attach other toys to highchairs and strollers. These are bright, colorful, and very sturdy. I do agree with some of the other reviews that a few of the letter's openings are larger than others and come apart too easily. Also not the best for teaching letters, but useful after letters are easily recognizable to the child.

Overall, the regular oval links work better for linking, but these are still fun and I don't regret the purchase. My daughter loves to play with them, shake them around, and of course chew on them.

My daughter received this when she was born and she's already two and she still plays with it. It might be a bit challenging to decipher the letters because the links are supposed to be "links" so there's not much room to really flesh out the shape of the letter, but they are so fun to play with. My daughter can recognize most of the letters. Definitely a must have!

These are terrific. We have some attached to each stroller, some for the tub, some in the diaper bag. Our daughter loves them!

My friend suggested we buy links for our 4 month old son and we found these. I love that there are so many and they are all different shapes, textures and colors. I think these are better than the oval links because they have more angles to grab on to (my son likes the letter B). I'm not sure if these will help him with learning the alphabet later on but I'd like to think so =). Some of the letters aren't obvious - our young cousins (age 4 and 2) thought the letter P was a heart but still had a lot of fun playing with these. I agree with some of the over reviews that the links do come off easily. I think it's fun for my son though, he acts surprised whenever he's able to break the links apart.

My child is 4 months old and she loves her links! These are nice because they are slightly larger than regular links, and they have patterns and textures.

i purchased these links after i purchased the oval shaped links and unfortunately these are not as good because they come apart so easily since the openings are placed mostly in corners so when my daughter pulls on them they come right off unlike the oval shaped ones which have the openings in the middle so when it's pulled it stays intact i gave this item two stars because they are cute.
