Alphabet Tubs
June 10, 2025 - By Adam Hussein
These are great tubs for learning the alhoabet and go well when you introduce each letter of the alphabet. The only reason for a star taken away is because you need to spend a lot of time sorting the objects into the containers; they do not come presorted even with the price.
Yes, I would recommend this product.

So many ways to use these quality items
May 07, 2025 - By Wendy Stuartfrom Klamath Falls, OR
Such a great product! I items are all about hand size for a kid so not too big or too small. Good variety. Can handle all the love they get from my students. The only sadness I had was the box they came in is too small to store them in once they are all put together.
Yes, I would recommend this product.

Amazing Letter Tubs
February 01, 2025 - By Adamfrom Aurora, IL
These letter tubs are great for learning the alphabet with your student. The only downside is that all the items come unsorted and you need to sort everything out. However, other than that this product is great.
Yes, I would recommend this product.

Great four letter review Great four letter review
November 30, 2024 - By Camy Brungard
We love using these for letter review in our preschool classroom. The children love dumping all the tubs into a sensory box and then pulling them out and figuring out which letter tub they go in. It makes letter review lots of fun.
Yes, I would recommend this product.

Worth it!
November 11, 2024 - By Priscilla Lympany
Due to the original cost of this item, it left me on the fence to buy it. After years of trying to DIY it, i can to the realization that it would cost more than buying this item. Using a coupon and rewards helped lower the cost, which was great. I've had this set for years and never regretted it. it's well worth the investment!!
