Magnetic Letters & Numbers

Great product! Magnet is strong and will hold a piece of paper on the fridge. Perfect size for my 2.5yr old’s hand. Love that the magnet is completely attached - no risk of a swallowing a magnet! 1 capital and 3 lowercase of each letter. Fun for recognizing letters! Love this set!

I liked how these looked so much I bought 3 different boxes (pink, yellow, blue - numbers, letters, animals, objects). All magnets came in terrific condition nothing peeling, ripped or chipped. Colors are vibrant and not a single animal picture is the same. There are 2 zebras, 2 jellyfish and 2 octopus, out of 2 different boxes, but they are different pictures & colors. That was one thing that I weas worried about, if I got 2 different box sets that came with objects and animals or numbers and animals, there would be any duplicates, there were none. Another thing that I like is that the magnets aren't hard to remove when being stuck to surfaces. They are strong enough not to slide down, but easy enough for the little one to take off. Magnets come in a resealable bag as well as a nice colorful box. Really nice looking product.

These magnetic letters arrived quickly and were just as described. They are colorful with a nice, soft feel. The letters are magnetic enough to stick to metal surfaces, but not so much that they stick tightly to each other. There are a LOT of letters and numbers in the plastic barrel that they come in, which is great for storage. My grandchildren, who are in various stages of learning letters, numbers, and words LOVE these magnetic letters. Right now they are on the refrigerator, but I plan to purchase small magnetic boards that can be used in places other than the kitchen. The children have created their own ways to play, but Curious Columbus Kids also has some great suggestions for using the letters that would be helpful for various learning levels. I believe these ideas can be found on Pinterest.

I bought these for my great granddaughter who is just 2 years old. She can already recite the alphabet so I planned to play games so that she could begin to recognize what the letters look like. I sorted out just the capital letters to begin with due to her age. They are great, she can handle them easily in her little fingers and is beginning to get the idea that the black side has to go against the magnetic board. My only complaint is this: in sorting out the letters i noticed that there are 3 of each lower case letter which is great. However, after getting them all sorted, I couldn't understand why I had extra n's and b's until I realized that if I turned them over they became u and q respectively. If, as an adult, I am having a problem determining which is which, I don't know how I will explain this to a very young child. At least the n and u are different colors, but the b and q are all in the same color. I don't know how you can rectify this, but you should certainly look closely at it. I ended up using a pen to write the capital version of the letter on the front so that I could tell them apart. Other than that, I am extremely pleased with this set. You might consider offering a magnetic easel to go with them at some point.

Great size for little hands without being too little that they present a choking hazard. I like the one piece full-back magnet on the letters as well; don’t have to worry about little magnet pieces popping out and getting ingested.

Colorful, sturdy, large letters perfect for a 2 year old learning letters and numbers. I love the magnetic strip on the back instead of the tiny magnets on other letters. The magnetic strip is safer, not likely to be swallowed by little ones.

I just received this bucket of magnetic letters and numbers today and am very impressed so far. I ordered them to help me entertain my 2 and 4 year old on a long road trip that we are starting in a couple days. The bucket contained 1 set of the entire uppercase alphabet, 3 sets of the entire lowercase alphabet, and 1 set of numbers, 1-10 (so really 11 numbers with the extra 1 for the 10). I didn't realize, but noticed when I was checking to make sure my pieces were all present, that all the vowels are the same color. I really like that the company did it that way - it will be much easier to identify and pick them out when we make words. I also love that there are several sets of the lowercase letters. This is going to be awesome when we start making short sentences or longer words that require several of the same letters - like "hippopotamus" - haha, but we aren't there yet. I have 2 travel lap trays that I have made for my boys that have a magnetic cookie sheet for the top, and all of the magnets stick to it great. If I shake the tray, they hardly move, but are easy to pick back off. The only thing that slightly bugs me about this set are the colors. They don't really go in any order. If you ignore all the blue ones, since those are vowels, the other colors go - green, yellow, red, purple, green, yellow, red, orange, green, yellow, red, purple, green, yellow, red, orange, yellow, orange, purple, orange, red. What the heck. The numbers have no color pattern, but I feel like the 1's should have been the same color. But I am happy that all the upper and lowercase letters, that match, are the same colors (the B and b's are green, the C and c's are yellow...) So the only thing left is to see how they hold up over time. I expect that with supervision they will be just fine. I think if they are left unattended with my boys, the magnet will probably get picked off, or the foam taste/bite tested. But if any of it is ingested, the magnetic part is not strong enough to cause any damage to my kiddos, so A+.

I love that the letters and numbers are flat and sit right against the surface they are placed on. What makes no sense to me is that the lower case letters are not in synch with the upper case letters. For example, the lower-case 'r' is almost as high as the lower case 'h'. The lower case 'a' is almost as high as the lower case 't.' When one displays a word, it is showing a child an incorrect way the letters should look. For instance, for the word 'sat,' the letter 't' is close to the same height as the 'a.' The vowels are larger than the consonants. All of the vowels are the same color, blue, which is good to make them stand out, so they do not also need to stand out by making them larger in size. Many young children will get the idea that the vowels need to be written larger than the consonants. It seems clear that the creator of these letters is not familiar with teaching young children to write.
