content: This is an excellent educational tool for teaching you little one letters and spelling. The edge of this board and the letters are made of wood and the letters are painted with bright colors. But I have 2 problems with this toy. First of all, the letters got scratch mark real easy. My kid plays around with those letters for a little while and they're like worn already !The second problem is small pieces of wooden might peel off from the side of the board which I think it might stick into the hands of the kid, be cautious!!
