A lifelong love of learning starts early with toys, games, and books that teach kids the fundamentals of reading, writing, math, and life skills like telling time. Many of these toys use open-ended play and a variety of techniques to introduce children to the tools they’ll need for academic success! Here are a few of our favorite letters and learning toys.
Our Top Pick
Our top pick, Alphabet Acorn Activity Set, is $32.99 from Learning Resources. This seemingly simple toy uses visual and tactile learning to teach kids uppercase and lowercase letters and letter sounds, and it appeals to a young learner’s interest in discovery, with little figures inside each acorn for kids to find.
