About this item
- LEARN TO READ: New readers will learn how to read and rhyme with our movable CVC word builder blocks & matching phonics flash cards. Letter combos in this set have been carefully chosen to maximize the # of common decodable CVC words for preschoolers. This set teaches the base standard of reading using 3-letter words. There are no sight words or words that don't follow the normal letter sounds; this encourages children as they are able to easily sound out any of the words our rods create.
- TACTILE PRE-K & KINDERGARTEN LEARNING MATERIAL: Rotating wooden letter blocks create 60+ 3-letter words. Each of the 5 wooden rods features one vowel and a set of consonants that rotate. Along with our animal alphabet letter sounds guide children will see how easy and quick it is to read with this fun spinning phonics toy.
- DESIGNED FOR SELF-CORRECTION & EMPOWERMENT: 30 double-sided CVC flashcards with real-life images = a versatile Montessori reading material. Cards are designed for exploration & correction - one side has the picture, the other side includes the picture with the word. This design can be used for different stages of learning and allows kids to create the word on their own before checking its accuracy. Cards are color-coded by vowel as well and allow for fun games and letter pattern recognition.
- A TRAVEL-FRIENDLY MONTESSORI TOY FOR TODDLERS & PHONICS WORKSHEET SET: This travel toy is designed for easy learning on-the-go and is a great kindergarten classroom must-have! Phonics flashcards are ring-bounded and a tote bag = easy clean-up. This set makes for a great gift for kids 3-6 years old. It even comes with phonics game ideas and a downloadable 25-page phonics worksheet set for more practice.
- ECO-FRIENDLY, DURABLE, & SAFE: All our wood toys are 3rd-party certified non-toxic & kid-safe; this toy is made of solid beechwood, which is more durable than other cheaper woods. Our toys exceed all child safety regulations in the USA, UK, the EU, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, & Japan. Fully designed by a mom of young kids who deeply cares about ethics and safety.

Product Description
LEARN HOW TO READ WITH OUR TACTILE MONTESSORI WOODEN TOY FOR TODDLERS AND KINDERGARTENERS
Is your toddler, preschooler, or kindergartener wanting to learn to read? Need learning resources or educational toys for teaching phonics and decoding simple words? Studies show that learning toys and phonics instruction greatly improves a child's foundation for word recognition, spelling, and reading comprehension.
Our Little Bud Kids Spin-and-Read CVC word builder is a tactile Montessori material and educational toy for preschoolers, kindergarteners, and 1st graders that introduces reading through letter blending and rhyming. It is also designed to foster independent play and self-correction.
We are inspired by the Montessori philosophy that children should have access to toys and material that are multi-sensory, natural, and self-explorative.
Each of the 5 wooden rods features one vowel and a set of consonants that rotate. Children create new words with this movable alphabet manipulative toy by turning the letter blocks. C-A-T becomes B-A-T then B-A-G. Our phonics toy creates 62 toddler-friendly 3-letter words. **Note that some nonsense words are normal too, which is actually great for critical thinking!**
Screen-free and portable, this phonics game travel toy makes reading simple. Take our rotating wooden reading blocks for a spin today!

Plastic-free & DurableForget the plastic! Take care of the earth by choosing sustainably-harvested wooden toys that extend past the life of many plastic toys. We choose beech, a hardwood, over a cheaper soft wood such as pine, because of its extreme durability, knick-free quality, and beauty. While softwoods are cheaper, hardwood toys can be passed on for years. Our blocks are safe and non-toxic, and exceed toy safety regulations in the US, Canada, UK, EU, Australia, New Zealand, & Japan. Certified in 2020, 2021, 2022, & 2023 by German-based company TUV SUD, a global regulatory compliance agency. |
Versatile, Multi-level, & Designed for Self-GuidanceReal-life image CVC flash cards for toddlers give a real understanding of the world. Boundable with a metal ring, double-sided, heavy-duty flashcards grow with your child's reading ability. One side features the word and picture, and is color-coded by vowel; the other side features just the picture. This allows for independent & self-corrective exploration. Our learning toys are designed for self-correction, independent play, and endless game ideas. |
Traditional, Familiar PrintOur rotating wooden blocks feature a plain, traditional print already familiar to your beginner reader. This is so he or she can confidently build upon existing knowledge. Our carefully selected letter combinations maximize the number of decodable words familiar to young children today, which creates a cycle of positive affirmation as they master word after word. Note that phonetic reading blocks will naturally create some nonsense words which is also great for reading practice! |
A Travel-Friendly Educational Toy & GiftEnclosed in a giftable box, our blocks come with a travel tote bag & bounded cards, making this set your go-to travel game for the car, airplane, doctor's office, and restaurant. It's screen-free, multi-sensory, and versatile as it prompts children to have active and purposeful dialogue. All this makes for a great 3 year old and 4 year old gift for girls and boy! |

The cards and blocks are sturdy and will last for multiple children. Highly recommend.
Unfortunately the box it came in was ruined as my address label was stuck directly onto it and couldn’t be removed without damaging the box. There was no wrapping, cardboard or any other form of packaging to protect the product.
