Amazing Resource-Worth Every Penny!

I recently went back into the classroom teaching Kindergarten and I knew right away that I needed these. They are pricey, but the quality of these tubs are unmatchable to any other competitor product like this. The items in this set are just the absolute best and beyond engaging!! These can be used for SO many activities, of course beginning sounds, but also syllable counting, sound sorting, and so much more!! Must buy-you will not regret it!

Overall great, but a lot of work

I was thrilled to find a pre-made set, but disappointed by how much work was involved in getting it set up. The quality of the small items is hit or miss. Overall, it's been a great product for sensory bins and letter exposure.

Versatile Use

These tubs are convenient, easy to use, highly engaging, and can be used in a multitude of ways. Besides phonemic awareness and sound sorting, my elementary students like to use them to practice writing CVC words. We'll often put 5-6 toys in a bag that fit the theme (ex: CVC short a), and take turns pulling them out to see it, say it, and write it. If you buy it once, it's nearly guaranteed you'll use it forever.

Perfect for language development

I love this product. It is my son’s new favorite toy. It has given him hours of hands on learning of letters, spelling, pretend play, and even dexterity practice. My only criticism is that the box does not fit all of the tubs once filled.

Alphabet Tubs

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.

So many ways to use these quality items

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.
