Alphablocks Phonics Fun AN20 Electronic Educational Toy English Play Authentic Product

Overview: Alphablocks – Matchums Learning Game is a fantastic learning resource that encourages phonics development. (As was previously getting tired of using endless post-it notes to explain and teach the blending of consonants and CVC words. Therefore, having durable letter cards encourages endless phonic and word blending in a more organised and neat fashion without the hassle of dealing with post-it notes. Pros: - Multiple ways to play. Keeps my learner entertained and allows for customizable difficulty. Can therefore foresee getting a lot of use out of this game. - My learner regularly watches Alphablocks (the television series), and was therefore really pleased that they can follow and reinforce what they've learnt from the series, with the same colourful visual aids. - The picture boards and picture cards is a great tool at getting learners to identify 'first sounds'. Cons: - Wish more picture boards were included, as the set only includes 5 picture boards, and there is no option to purchase more picture boards from their official store. Hence, you'd either have to create and print more (paper) picture boards yourself or look at buying additional learning/teaching resources. Conclusion: Depending on how you plan to use this game i.e. if solely using for the intention to match picture to picture or picture to letter or vice versa, then it can get boring quickly after the learner has played the games many times, and also defeats the 'learning' purpose as they may begin matching from memory, rather than relying solely on the individual phonic. However, if a parent/guardian is able to guide the learner and actively use the letter cards and picture cards to encourage identifying first and last sounds for example, then I would highly recommend this game as you're able to customise the difficulty level to the learner's needs which is more value for money.

Not bad but not the best

Purchased for my 2.5 year old daughter! She loves it and we will be able to make use of this numerous times. Great start to supporting a child’s phonics journey whilst keeping it fun. Great size too and easy to store. Great value for money.

My toddler loves it! After watching alphablocks for a while, my toddler started to learn all her alphabets. It works perfectly and has some of my toddlers favourite alphablocks song. A must buy for your toddler who loves alphablocks

A great product for when out and about as easy to carry around and play with. Buttons are easy to press and with multiple games to play, it’s kept my little one occupied whilst remembering the phrases and sounds used as he loves to copy them! Would recommend and great value for money and good sound quality when you press the buttons.
