The whole alphabet, one peg at a time. Melissa & Doug's Alphabet Wooden Peg Puzzle gives toddlers 26 easy-grasp letters to lift, name, and match — with a matching picture printed beneath each peg to guide the way and spark first-letter learning.

Those chunky wooden pegs are perfectly sized for developing fingers, building the fine motor control and pincer grip that little ones need for writing down the road. Every lift-and-place is a mini letter lesson wrapped in play.

Solid wood and a full-color board make this a durable, classic learning toy that gets handed down for years. A go-to gift for the preschool set.
