Melissa & Doug See & Spell

Product Description

Place the colorful wooden letters in their proper places to spell words on the cut out two-sided wooden boards. Includes 20 playful pictures with three and four letter words to keep learning fun. Includes over 70 letters.

I have an almost four year-old and a two year-old and they both love this set. The older one is beyond picking the letters and spelling the words given, but he uses the letters to spell new words while the younger spells the given words. I especially appreciate the letters being lowercase.


We bought several different Melissa and Doug toys and we love them but on all of them, only after a week of play, the paint is coming off various pieces. On the letters, I can already see white where the red paint used to be on this toy. I'm disappointed, however, I surmise given the lead-paint scare last year that perhaps the company switched paint products and they are just not as durable but safe. I still caution, as your child may end up putting paint chips in their mouth. Or getting it on their hands. I'm going to write to the company to ask about their lack of paint durability; as with three toys and only a week's worth of play I should expect better.


This product is great to teach spelling and reading to young ones. The wooden boards and letters are very durable are easy to handle by small hands. The only downfall was that it does not come with a cover so the storage area for the letters is open. I am still trying to figure out what to do to keep the letters from getting lost without putting them in a separate place than the boards.


The toy was delivered exactly as I would have expected to receive it from a local store or catalog.


"Santa" brought this for my 3 year old this Christmas. She LOVES it! My 6 year old son plays with her and races her to find the letters. I think it's really helping her to learn her letters and starting her toward an interest in spelling. Fantastic, durable toy! Highly recommend.


I have just recently become acquainted with Melissa and Doug products and I have not been disappointed. I think that these are quite durable and there seems to be several of each letter. I bought these for my son who just turned 5 because we are working on spelling words now that he knows his letters, colors, numbers, and shapes. I thought these would help him learn how to spell some simple words. They seem durable enough to me (another reviewer stated that they were not). All in all, these are very nice and seem like the type of toy that will last through many children using it.


This is an amazing toy that really sparked my daughter's interest and abilities in spelling quickly. GREAT gift.


My 2 yo likes this educational toy. I can write several of the words on her chalk board or point them out in a book and she correctly identifies the word. Unlike other toys we have with letters, there are lots of letters in case you lose one or two here and there.


My 5 year old likes to play with this toy, but the problem is the lack of a lid for the box. The letters fall out and it is a big pain to take in the car. For a Melissa & Doug toy, I'm suprised that the storage is so poor.


This is a great way to learn to read, by individually placing the letter in the correct spot. I'm using it with my 4 year old as it is, and also to help him sound out more difficult words in books. When he's stumped, I just get out the letters and place them on the table. He starts with the first sound and on through the word until he's figured it out. A great educational tool.
