I ordered the Spinnies 3 pack that is on sale right now at Let’s Explore for my three boys as stocking stuffers. The Spinny Speller will be for my oldest son, the Spinny People will be for my middle son, and the Spinny Critters will be for my littlest guy. I am anxious to see how they like these, but will wait until Christmas. I am sure they will share them with each other, or at least I hope they will. 🙂
Here is what the website has to say about the Spinnies.
Set of all 3 Spinny Toys - Spinny Speller, Spinny Critters, and Spinny People!
Spinny Speller: Three four-sided blocks spin to make 3 dozen simple words. Practice making rhyming words, too! Great for early reading skills.
Spinny Critters: Three four-sided blocks spin to make 3 dozen “animals”. The starting animals are lion, horse, dog and a rhino.
Spinny People: Three four-sided blocks spin to make 3 dozen “jobs”. The starting professions are cowgirl, football player, doctor, and a fire fighter.
* Made in Vermont by Maple Landmark.
* All hardwood construction
* 5″ long
* Finish: Enamel ends with urethane blocks and ink letters
* Ages 3+
After I had ordered these I read a post by Little Hands, Big Work on how to make a DIY Spinny Speller. Since I try to make most of the gifts we give our children I was disappointed I didn’t think about making my own. Regardless of whether you buy a Spinny or make your own I think they will provide much learning and enjoyment.
Does your child have a Spinny? I would love to hear what you think of it.
