Learning ResourcesAlphabet Acorns Activity Set, Multicoloured

I am a early years teacher and I absolutely love these. These are great to use for teaching phonics - the names of letters and their sounds. The only problem with some of the objects is that they are not phonetically correct to match the sound e.g for “t”There is a train - but train is a “ch” sound, a telescope, tap or turtle would have been good, the “x” was a xylophone which is a tricky one as we teach the sound “x” at the end of the word “b-o-x” it’s nothing a problem as you can put in your own objects into the acorns if you wanted too. I love that they have the capital letter on the front and the small letter under the hat of the acorn. Great value for money!

Absolutely brilliant toy.Such a simple yet clever idea.I bought for my daughters 2nd birthday.She loves the acorns and little toys inside. She has to be monitered whilst playing with them as the toys are small but she enjoys putting them in and out of the acorns and as she gets older she will be able to do more with colour coding and matching the toys with the letters.Recommended.

Saw first on YouTube miss RachelMy grandson knew what they were straight away and has played or hours every single dayLooks expensive compared to other toys but honestly cheap as chips the amount of fun my grandson has had with this fabulous toy

Arrived on time and in perfect condition thanks

I bought this for my 4yr old son who has autism & GDA, to help with letter and colour recognition & he absolutely loves it! It has helped him recognise & use new words in a short space of time.Can't fault it at all. Definitely worth the money ❤

My son loves this got it next day delivery well happy with it the acorns all are good sizes and each have there own toy that goes in to match the letter it has unpercase and lower case letter my son is stacking them now his not put them down from when I opened the box you have 5 different colours to match together 78 pieces in total

Beautiful educational toy although with rooms for improvement. Solid and the concept is is great but: the letters on the nutshells are not shiny moreover there's not a stand where you can organise them so the search is longer; the little figures aren't much detailed making them a bit tricky to recognize. Not worth the money

Kids love them. Makes learning letters exciting. Could have chosen some better items though....M for mitten (my kids would say glove). Mouse may be better? Just a few i would change but really good.
