## Description

Product Description Make alphabet learning deliciously fun with Smart Snacks Alpha Pops from Learning Resources! These colorful popsicle-shaped toys bring letters to life as children match uppercase and lowercase pairs with a satisfying "pop." Each set includes double-sided popsicles featuring all 26 letters of the alphabet in vibrant, color-coded designs that make matching intuitive even for toddlers just beginning to recognize letters. Perfect for little hands, these durable learning tools develop crucial fine motor skills as children pull apart and snap together the popsicle halves. The soft, wipe-clean plastic construction withstands enthusiastic play, occasional teething, and even being stepped on, ensuring years of educational value for children ages 2 and up. Beyond alphabet learning, these versatile toys effortlessly transition between educational activities and imaginative play. Children naturally practice letter recognition during pretend "ice cream shop" scenarios or while serving treats to friends and stuffed animals. Whether used at home, in classrooms, or during therapy sessions, Smart Snacks Alpha Pops create multi-sensory learning experiences that engage visual, tactile, and auditory pathways simultaneously. Parents and educators appreciate how these thoughtfully designed toys transform essential literacy practice into playful discovery that children request again and again—proving that learning truly can be a treat! From the Manufacturer Pop together these frozen treats to match uppercase and lowercase letters. Double-sided to include all 26 letters. Self-checking by color. Also great for fine motor skills and imaginative play. Single Alpha Pop measures 4" x 1¼". Toddlers (ages 2+). Set of 13.

Review: Great for learning letters!! - The cutest idea to learn letters and connect upper and lower case together as popsicles! Great value and perfect material!! Easy for my toddler to use! They are so lightweight and for the intended age range!! Highly recommend!
Review: Creative fun idea - just a little worried about smeared paint? - I haven't tried playing with this item with my child yet as the one I had received seemed used/damaged (through no fault of the seller, who has been excellent to work with!), but it seems like it's going to be a really great toy once we receive a new set. The colors are very bright and there is something very fun and almost soothing about popping them together and hearing that tiny "pop!" sound. Two caveats: this could have just been the item I had received, but the painted letters had smeared on about 40% of the pops, raising concerns that a teething child might be ingesting a mouthful of paint. Also, the fact that there are only 13 sets (double-sided, to make the whole alphabet) will make it tricky to spell words or to find certain letters (for example, if the "A" side of a pop is up on the floor and you ask your child to find the "M" pop, she won't be able to unless she knows it's on the back of the A or flips the A over to see...). You could probably use this to your advantage with an older child to make it more fun/add more mystery - but just something to be aware of. That said, besides the paint smearing issue (which I assume was just with my set), this seem like they will be a big hit, as they are colorful and delicious looking - and the perfect size and feel for small hands. I'll update this once I get the replacement set and try it out with my 18 month old (who I think will be too young for this, but will probably like sorting the colors and making them pop into each other!). Update: the new set does NOT have the smeared paint and is great fun! We even play with them in the bathtub. At 18 months, my baby is able to clip the pieces together by herself about 60% of the time -- and enjoys the challenge. We're using them just for colors now - but will have fun with letters when she is ready! I'm adding back the star I had taken off b/c of the paint. :) [oh, and the price on desertcart is the best one around right now]

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy Two Sets
*by K***A on December 27, 2025*

BUY TWO SETS if you want to be able to form the ENTIRE ALPHABET from A- Z. These popsicles are double printed, meaning they represent one uppercase/lowercase pair on the front, but a completely different letter pair on the back. Regardless, a great toddler tool nonetheless!
