Cute idea but tops are too hard to get back on
Cute idea with lots of flexibility with play. The major issue is that I cannot get the tops back on, let alone my three old. They don't seem to fit!

Great, but the vowels….
I love this product. It promotes fine motor development with the use of opening and closing the lids. The object sounds are all great.. until you get to the letter i. All the vowels are short A-Apple, o-octopus, u- umbrella, e-elephant. But i was the long sound. For ice cream, it should've been an igloo. My son still loves the toy and enjoys playing with it but if you're gonna have a long sound have both items in there since vowels have 2 sounds always !

Great for imagination and playing together
My grandson and I like playing with these. Great for encouraging letter association with words. Tops are easy to remove but difficult to get back on and closed. He loves pulling out the objects inside and then finding other objects that start with the same letter.

So simple, but so many ways to play!
This toy is so simple, yet provides so many ways to play. We actually were using Easter eggs prior to receiving this toy as a way to learn and sort colors and objects, etc. so when we got this Acorn toy, it was perfect AND added the element of learning the Alphabet into it. Our toddler can sit there and play for quite some time just opening and taking things out, and putting things into these acorns. We are also using them as an "acorn hunt" game (similar to Easter egg hunting!) and having our toddler find all the purple acorns, or the blue, etc. and it keeps her so entertained. The only downside to this toy is that some of the objects don't fit easily inside of the acorns, so our toddler gets frustrated when she can't close the acorn lid unless the object is at a very specific position.

Great product for helping my energetic son learn!
My son was so excited to use this educational toy from the moment he saw it! We received alphabet acorns for free from Learning Resources in exchange for an honest review. My son is 5 and going into kindergarten this fall. I wasn't sure how to help him learn his lowercase letters and sounds of letters but this toy helps with everything! There are so many different ways to use the alphabet acorns and that's what I love the most! When we first opened the toy we put the toy pieces into the corresponding acorns, this took awhile but actually kept my sons attention (which is hard to do)! The next time we played with it, I took the tokens out of the acorns and hid the acorns around the yard, my son found them, told me the letter on the acorn, and then matched the token to the corresponding acorn. We also took the acorn tops off of a few at a time and matched the uppercase letter to the lowercase letter on the top and talked about letter sounds. This educational toy seems so simple but I was actually amazed by the many ways we could use it to learn! My son loved showing me how much he knew and certainly felt a sense of accomplishment and pride. I would recommend alphabet acorns to anyone with preschool or kindergarten aged children!

Great interactive learning activity
This is a really engaging activity for both my 3-year-old and 5-year-old grandkids. The use of both upper and lower case letters is clever. The objects are fun to ID and match to the correct letter. My only complaint is that the letters on the dark brown "acorn" can be hard to see.
