Word Building Puzzles - 3-Letter Words

Overall Rating: 4.8 out of 559out of 59 reviewers would recommend this product to a friend.

May 22, 2025 - By Allison T.from NJ

This item has been a great tool prior to introducing CVC words to my kindergarten students early on in the school year. They get lots of exposure and are able to make connections before the skill is taught making mastery that much easier!

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Good but thin pieces

April 18, 2025 - By Nanfrom Pittsburgh

My only disappointment is that the pieces are too thin which makes it difficult for little fingers to push them into place without bending. The pieces will be distorted or ripped after a few uses. Make them thicker and they will still fit in the same box.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Great for so many ages!

October 15, 2024 - By Jaime

I have two sons that have enjoyed these simple puzzles for many years. The puzzles are very durable and have withstood lots of play. When my older son was beginning to read, my younger son would assemble to puzzle and cover the pictures to see if he knew what the word was. He would then lift his hand to show him the image. I loved that they both were able to play with this together, at their own developmental level. I now nanny and it is still a go-to puzzle activity (I have used for ages 2-6). You can make it harder by pulling out more pieces, or easier by only displaying 3 at a time.

Yes, I would recommend this product.
