See the Learning.™
Knowing the letters of the alphabet is one of the first steps toward learning to read and write. Introducing letters to young children helps them learn to recognize the different shapes and names - an early indicator for reading achievement.
Children progress from a simple observation of action and reaction (spin the wheel to hear music) to a deeper understanding of cause and effect (germs make you sick). Cause and effect is important because it signals that a child can perceive hidden or abstract forces on objects.
Toddlers use their curiosity and logical reasoning skills to solve everyday problems. By investigating all sorts of possibilities, they develop unexpected solutions and creative problem-solving strategies.
The development and coordination of small, refined muscle movements allow infants and toddlers to use their thumb and forefinger to grasp small objects, paint and eventually learn to write.
“This is one of the best toys my son has. He loved the Fridge Phonics letters from the moment we saw them in the store and almost a year later, he still plays with them. He has a blast dancing to the music. He is learning to talk and tries to imitate the sounds it makes. I think this product is helping to develop his speech. It also keeps him occupied while I am working in the kitchen. I give this as a gift and highly recommend it when I see other moms looking at it in the store!”
