Highly recommended language game
This game was recommended by a kindergarten teacher, and I can see why. It’s a great learning game. My husband and I also enjoy playing the game too. It’s like a kid’s version of scrabble. The games are also designed to be age and developmentally appropriate for different stages of reading. Highly recommend

A banana shaped bag of happy feeling letters w pretty colors too!
I’m a Fan! I never thought in a million years my daughter would go near a green banana full of letter tiles. The tiles are like the feel of dominoes. Lots of sensory play! And my Little One actually will put her spelling words together using the tiles too! Hmm. We use them more than I thought. The one thing we have yet to do, is play a real game!?! We all love the bright colors! The brochure inside gave me tones of ideas n reinforced the vowels n the blends. I’d kinda like to get another set of these or 2 more! If this is the only way to get my sit and spell words or just SIT :) and play w letters. I have not seen my 2nd grader use her lettters to create words. Although she can read. She’s not able to sound out words. And yet she knows each sound. She loves these! I truly hope by school year end she will have mastered more than a CVC written word! My kids said the tiles just look My special needs child noticed the color patterns in her spelling words! She can only spell if she has that pretty pattern. It reminds her if she drops her vowels Vowel teams while trying to write legibly. So honestly all ages can play. The real game or malevup your own game. Or use for school to get a hands on sensory approach to spelling words :)! The kids n I think the tiles fell nice too. More like that material dominoes r made out of. Then add colors. Similar to the way we use reading today. The banana letter tiles were faster for the little one to find her missing vowels. 7yr old uses them n feel happy. Ok. SPELL n she did. She first started w her k maybe this fun thing gaveHowever U can play by rules. Use w phonics lessons. Helps w blending sounds n learning the chunks of sound heard in words. . A special needs option surprisingly she will click them together for Sound n she likes the sound while she searches for a letter. I’m so happy I bought the banana bag w happy feeling letter tiles that have pretty colors. I’d like to have a couple more bags n gett her to do ALL her spelling words n be able to look at it n try to memorize spelling words too. I think I need to buy a few more packages so she can create all the words on the list all at one time. Then again. The apples n pear onesi saw were awesome looking too! I’m a huge fan of these tiles!! I’m looking for the whale 🐳 addition n subtracting mobi jr Whale. It’s a Similar tile concept. The beautiful tiles have Calming turquoise n other colors too! Oh I want em all. Haha :)! I’ Maybe I’ll try the Apple ones If they feel the same, she’ll love em. There R too many great things bout The Letter have helped her in so many ways. Even the letter attached to the zipper has 1 letter on a chain n she hold it close n feel the soft side. Anyone no matter age should try playing em. Sorting. Colors. Letters line or Curved galore. I’ve heard moms put magnets on the Tiles too. It’s soft hand rubs it w So nobody has had any lettters slung across the room at anyone else either, huh. Who’d have thought the entire family has played w my happy feeling pretty letter tiles :)! No matter the age or ability level of your kids, I’m so impressed w the quality and the versatility of the letters. I’m thankful for The cots n yeas they are happy looking lettersuch athis had anyone can touch the letter n Try guessing bfamily You’ll find fun I’m so thankful for the banana gull of letters :)

Good game for young children to play alone and with adults.
Fun game - my 6 and 7 year old granddaughters love it. The 6yo uses phonetic rules for spelling. I love playing games with them. With this game you actually compete with yourself more than a total competition game like Monopoly. Living in NYC has made them very good on a Monopoly board. This is a great gift for children. The green banana that holds tiles is for younger children and the yellow works well with a good base for adults.

Great game, both fun and educational! I love that there is a Jr version for th younger ones.
Love this game! This Jr version was to introduce a new generation to the game and it was a great hit! Love that it has lower case as well as upper case letters for little ones just learning to spell. The recipient, (5yo M), started making words immediately! He was very excited to be able to do so!

Colorful and FUN
My students use these tiles to make their spelling words as a center activity in class. They picked these letters first today over magnetic letters, suction cup letters and other letters they can use at center time.

Fun Learning Game
I played this game with my sons (8) and (6), but a modified version of it. It’s great practice for letter recognition and to practice sounds. Very versatile for a range of ages, as you can practice letters or words. Convenient size to take on the go. Very impressed with the quality of the tiles.

My First Bananagrams
Great twist on the original Bananagrams, Teaches children about letter combinations such as ae, th, etc. Loved by my Grandson.

Bitte auch für deutschsprachige Verwendung anpassen
Schönes Spielzeug für Kinder, die stabilen Steine und bunten Farben machen die Buchstaben interessant, es werden sofort Namen und andere Wörter gelegt. Um damit richtig üben zu können, wäre eine Anpassung der vorhandenen englischen Ausgabe an die Landessprache, für Deutsch also mit anderer Buchstabenverteilung, Umlauten, "ß" und passenden "Verbindungen" wünschenswert. Ich kann auch nicht verstehen, warum es in der Kinderversion nur kleine Buchstaben gibt, bei uns lernen die Kinder ja entweder beides oder erstmal nur die Großbuchstaben. Das "große" Bananagrams ist dann allerdings von der Farbgebung wieder weniger spannend für Kinder.

Great game for young learners
Got this game for my son and love it. I have the original game and the difference is this version will chunk letters that go together in words that little might not understand yet. Eg. Ch, oo, ou, are all chunked to make this easier to spell. Great for younger children just starting to spell/read!
