I use this for spelling practice at home with my autistic boy, he is 11. We have to practice our spelling words so using the banana makes it really fun. My 4 year old just likes to play with the letters, she is at that age where letters are so cool. I have not played the game so won't comment on it. The banana bag is well made and very durable. The zipper is well made also and I can tell this will last a long time. There are plenty of each letter included. I can take this banana with me easily since it is rather small. At first I thought the price was steep for something so simple but now I see its worth. Pictures included.
