Melissa & Doug Deluxe Magnetic Letters and Numbers Set With 89 Wooden Magnets Alphabet Letter Magnets, Number Learning Toys For Preschoolers And Kids Ages 3+

I got these because I wanted my toddler to have something to play with in the kitchen while I’m cooking or cleaning. I didn’t want to add one more plastic item to my house, so these are perfect. The wood that these are made of are very durable and stands up to my toddler chewing on it. I also like that the magnetic part is painted on, so I don’t have to worry about my daughter choking on any little magnetic pieces. I love how bright and colorful these magnets are, and the paint has not chipped. They are the perfect size for my toddler and are strong enough to stay on the refrigerator. The adults in the house enjoy making words from these letters as well.

These are great to put on the refrigerator and use the opportunity to teach number and letters while you are in the kitchen. The are well made and colorful which attracts the attention of the little ones. They are large enough for little finger to grasp and pull off and large enough not to be a chocking hazard.

These are wonderful wooden letters and numbers. They are magnetic and cling to fridge and dishwasher and at easel.

I've had the Melissa and Doug Wooden Refrigerator Magnets (Upper and Lower Case Letters and Numbers) for a few months. While I've noticed some wear and tear on the overlay and color, these magnets are generally durable and have been good for learning and development. They also keep my son busy while I’m doing this in the kitchen. They stand up okay toddler use, despite showing some signs of age after only a few months.

The letters and numbers are the right size for little hands. The magnetized letters and numbers are easy to move, manipulate and stick well.The boxes are great for storage and easy enough for our 20 month old to open and close. He is just learning all of the upper and lower letters making this an ideal manipulative.

Strongly recommended.These are made of 3-ply plywood (it appears to me) so they're solid and have enough thickness to grip easily. Most other kids' magnets we looked at were thin and would be frustrating to manipulate.The characters are brightly colored and the surface appears durable.We gave a set to a grandson for his 3rd birthday, and he played with them for long periods every day during a recent week-long visit. He already knew counting up to about 100 though nothing about how the the numbers looked, but after about 3 weeks of playing with these he could construct and identify any 2-digit number ("This is forty-seven, but if I move the '7' it's seventy-four!") and was starting in on 3. Note to other grandparents: it's difficult to explain a leading zero :o)We paired this gift with a set of dinosaur magnets by the same maker. Links aren't allowed in review, but you could search Amazon for "Melissa & Doug Magnetic Wooden Dinosaurs in a Wooden Storage Box (20 pcs)" if so inclined. Those are just as good.

Love the vivid colors and full magnetic back of the letters. Letters are smooth with no splinters. Would have given them five stars but it’s a little pricey to be receiving any broken letters whatsoever.

My grandson loves it
