Upper & Lower Case Alphabet Puzzle

My 4-year-old actually asks to play with this, which never happens with her other toys. Having both the upper and lower case letter carved into each spot means she's already recognizing that "A" and "a" are the same letter. The picture-matching part slows her down just enough to make it feel like a

The chunky wooden pieces are easy for my 3-year-old to grab, and I love that each letter has both the big and small version in the same spot. Matching the picture sound to the letter shape has turned into our little bedtime game.

My daughter finally gets that big A and little a are the same letter, which no other puzzle we own shows. The wooden pieces are chunky enough for her small hands and the picture clues actually match the sounds.
