Melissa & Doug Deluxe Magnetic Letters and Numbers Set – 89 Wooden Alphabet Magnets & Numbers, Educational Learning Toys for Preschool Kids Ages 3+

My two year old is obsessed and these are the first thing she goes for when she comes into the kitchen! The letters and numbers feel sturdy and well made! The magnets are my favorite part because they are ideal and virtually choking hazard free, which was a big motivation in my purchase of these. The magnetic part covers the entire back of each letter and number so you don't have to worry about your little one potentially swallowing a small round magnet. Everything is nicely sized for little hands and have not proven too hard for my two year old to grab and manipulate. I also love that the letters and numbers come in boxes with lids! The boxes seem like they'll hold up well too. I would absolutely buy this again!

We absolutely love this wooden magnet set. The numbers are colorful, the perfect size and are a fantastic quality. The mathematical symbols are great for little ones beginning to learn addition, subtraction, multiplication or division. The storage container is essential for keeping organized.

My son LOVES magnets. We use these on our fridge and his magnetic sticker on his bedroom wall. We love that he can learn using these and how great quality they are. Easy to wipe if they get dirty. Magnet strength is top notch.

Overall, it's a good-quality set, though it comes with a few minor drawbacks. First off, the colors are absolutely adorable and bright, which makes learning numbers even more fun for little ones. The paint job is well done, adding to the overall appeal of the set. The numbers are made of wood, but they’re quite thin—almost flimsy—which may not hold up to rough play over time. The magnets are also thin, so they aren't as strong as I would have liked. They hold fine on the fridge or magnetic board but can slide off easily if bumped. The set includes numbers ranging from 0 to 20, but it's important to note that the numbers from 10-19 are made up of separate pieces (e.g., the number 10 is a "1" and a "0" rather than a single piece). This results in a lot of "1"s being included in the box to create these two-digit numbers. One nice touch is the inclusion of math symbols like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and the equal sign. This allows for more fun and educational activities beyond just number recognition, and kids can practice basic math problems. Overall, the set is visually appealing and useful for learning, but the thin wood and weak magnet strength are worth considering if you’re looking for durability.

I am going to be a bit of a contrarian here, and go out on a limb and say I'm pretty happy with these. We've had them for two and a half years right now. Some unavoidable truths about these are that they are wood, with a thin magnet on the back, and the colorful letter part is glued on cardstock. Which is a bummer if your kiddo is a chewer. Really, you should never leave a child who chews alone with anything with a magnet on it, period. So while I would prefer it if these were plastic, every brand of plastic alphabet magnets I've seen has a small magnet in it...the kind that if it were chewed out, or if the glue should not work so well and it should fall out, can do a whole lot of damage to intestines. They'd need to eat more then one to do that, but trust me, those kinds of things happen, and more then one small magnet can punch holes in a child's intestines. These magnets, are less likely to be doing that because they are week, flat, thin, and cover the entire thing, making them harder to swallow. So, as the mother of a child who is a serious chewer even headed into his fifth birthday, I prefer these because they don't come with the same kinds of risks plastic letters with smaller, more powerful magnets have. Having said all of that, it's been two and a half years, and the magnets still work. Now, these are items I do not leave on the fridge or alone with my son given he is a chewer, and in terms of their toys, they actually come with a case which has a side for the upper case letters, a side for the lower case letters, and a sliding plastic lid. At least, they did when I purchased that. HUGE fan of that. I am also a huge fan of the fact that they have lower case letters, because many systems do not, and yet, lower case letters are the ones most often used in writing and reading, therefore the most important when it comes to decoding. I love that these are different colors, but not too many to be distracting. Today when I was doing therapy with my son, I started with matching letter cards, and then moved on to "give me the red 'a' " with these. Having colors is very helpful in using these to teach kiddos with special needs or intellectual disabilities, both of which apply to my little man. And because they are magnets, I can be the queen of the multi-task with them, because how that went down today is he would request to play tickles on his computer, I would chase him, tickle his ribs, then put the red 'a' and yellow 'n' on the metal gate at the top of the stairs and say "give me..." Yah, so for me, I love these and find them a very useful, multifunctional teaching tool. They are cool part of my plan for helping my little man learn how to read and I'm happy with them. But definitely not one you should leave alone with your kiddos where they can chew on them. And perhaps having them wash their hands afterwards wouldn't hurt either, given that older versions may have contained some lead. So do Christmas lights for that matter, and I imagine most parents don't think a thing about letting their kids near those. So my advice would be, watch your kiddos, don't let them chew on these, and wash their hands afterwards, and these are a great teaching resource.

Great magnet all around the back, not just a dot. Wooden which is great so it doesn’t get broken fast. Coating is paper so babies may chew the paper off but the wood will remain. Not difficult to use. Decent letter size.

Comes with uppercase and lowercase letters. They stick to the fridge well. The only downside would be they scratch easy and the color comes off when they get wet.

We're all familiar with traditional magnetic letters. These are the best. The full magnetic backing doesn't come off and if something happened and it did, the magnet would be safe than traditional magnets. My kiddos live changing the words in the fridge. I walk into fun phrases regularly. The price and quality and usefulness are all great.

This is a must for teaching the basic mathematics for 3-5 year olds. They love the colours and with the help of the numbers mathematics becomes a pleasant game that they enjoy and understand very quickly and when they start school they have the confidence to get ahead.

Very good quality, they are a thicker then the average ones you get from your store and the wooden box they come in is sturdy and good.

Es una herramienta excelente Para que los niños se familiaricen con las letras pero sobre todo que practiquen palabras. Si me aceptan una sugerencia. Compren dos paquetes porque el paquete solo trae una letra mayúscula y una minúscula. Es poco practico formar palabras que contengan la misma letra varías veces. Yo las pegue en el refrigerador y mi niña le dictamos palabras mientras le decimos el significado de la palabra. Es divertido y no lo toma como tarea sino cómo juego. Yo lo recomiendo.

従兄弟の誕生日プレゼントに購入しました。 とても喜んでくれました

The top layer is made from paper and scratches off very easily. Advertisement says wooden.
