WordWorld is very excellent show.  My child and so many others have learned so many new words by watching this show. This is a fun way of learning for kids. WordWorld is on TV everyday on the PBS Channel.  There are also several DVD's too.  Target carries a lot of these.  Some of them are under $10 and can be found on sale.  Amazon also carries these too.

Toy R Us carries WordWorld magnetic plush animals.  Each letter pulls apart from each other. They teach your child the word and they have a nice animal to play with too. Amazon also carries these too.
