Features and Skills
- By this age your child may know the name of many of the animals in the ABC zoo. This sense of confidence is a great jumping off point to teach your toddler how to recognize letters. With the letters still in the animals, review the names of the letters.
- Pop the letters out of all the animals and ask your little one to place the letter in the appropriate animal. At first he/she will just do this like a puzzle, matching the shape of the letter to the hole in the animal.
- As he/she fits these pieces in, reinforce aloud the sound that each letter makes and that the sound is in the animal’s name. For example, A is for Alligator. Soon your child will use these sounds to match the letters to the animals, not just the shapes.
- Sing your ABCs with your child. Explain to them that the letters go in order according to the song. As you sing the song a second time more slowly, make an animal parade with your child, putting the animals and letters in alphabetical order.
- As your child grows, he/she will become a more confident speller. Later on you can take the letters out of the animals and challenge your preschooler to put the animals in alphabetical order without the letters in the animals. This will encourage him/her to sound out the letter in the animal’s name in order to line them up.

Product Reviews
Most sites have product reviews. At ebeanstalk we do it differently. All our reviews happen BEFORE a product makes it on our site. Our team of child-experts looked at, tested and selected only the best toys. Then, they matched the toys to a child’s stage of development. Then they custom write an instruction card for each and every toy. This is the ebeanstalk review process. No other site does this; not even close. By conducting the review ahead of time, we ensure that our toys are the best and you can trust that the toys you are buying are matched to a child’s stage of development.
HOWEVER, we still want your feedback. If you'd like to tell us your impressions of a toy, please email us at feedback@ebeanstalk.com
