I used this with my kids when they were first learning to read/spell. I used it more as a self checking activity rather than a game. I color coded the picture cards so the children could start out with the easier ones I used it in my preschool classroom as well as with all of my grandchildren. Great game/activity for beginning readers/writers!
This is cute for new spellers but there isn't enough cubes to have the little ones spell the words you have to swap letters out which you shouldn't have to.
