Learning Resources Alphablasters! Letter & Spelling Game - 85 Pieces, Ages 4+ Toddler Preschool Learning, Educational Indoor Games, Preschool Alphabet, Toddler Brain Games

My boys love this more than the girls. But it’s a great center to use found letters and sounds with younger kids. Makes learning fun

This is a great game! For those that say the ball does not shoot out of the cannon well or is too difficult for a small child........you aren't using it correctly. This is a huge hit in my classroom! I have 2.5 to 4 year olds and all of them can work this game. You do have to press the ball firmly into the shooter for it to pop out of there with any speed/pressure. It works great!!!!

We homeschool and this is a fun game for both my 2 year old and 4 year old. There are so many different ways to play it too. Just wish it was a little easier to press down on the pump.

If they made this game in other subjects or skills I would buy them all. I teach special education and my students are sooooo motivated by knocking down the cards!

Very motivating! Great game!

Kids love shooting cannon

This is a fun way to reinforce learning of letters and spelling.  The kids love blasting the letters down.  You can use this in a variety of ways; using the provided cards, or even just coming up with your own words to see what kids can spell.  Though this may be geared towards preschool, the older kids love to have a turn with it as well.  The cannon blaster can be a bit annoying at times because you have to get the ball in there just right, but once you figure it out it isn't too bad.  The cards are all thick and durable and easy to place in the stands.  The colors and pictures used in this game are all vivid and cute.  I like that the vowel and consonants are backed by a different color, to help with learning that concept as well.  Once you place all of the letter cards in the stands, you can easily store them like that in the box, so you don't have to redo that every time.  I do wish they gave a few more blast cards though.  The kids have a "blast" with this game and it is easy to change up to use a little differently if you want.  I like setting letters at different heights for an extra challenge.  If the blaster would have been a little less irritating, I would have given this one the full five stars.

I was so excited for this game. I should have gone by the other reviews that say it didn’t pop because that is exactly what I encountered. My students were super disappointed.

Absolutely love this game. My child with adhd has struggled a bit with learning letters and this is a great way to see the letters and practice the sounds all while having fun playing a game. I love that one side of the cards have just the letter and the other side has the word with a blank for the first letter which your child has to figure out what it starts with. The ball if you push the ball more into the launcher it’ll launch with more force, which at first I wasn’t pushing it in and it wasn’t shooting out much. I was just sort of placing it in the cannon, so make sure to use some pressure to push the ball in.
