Learning Resources Jumbo Magnetic Lowercase Letters

Big enough that my infant cannot swallow.

I purchased the capital and small magnetic letters for my grandchildren to play with on a magnetic white board. I have a large board that is placed at their level so all can play and have fun. One grandchild is on the autism spectrum and he loves playing with the letters! The size is superb for anyone to handle. The magnets on all of them stick well to the board. The container they come in is great for storage. Some letters are duplicated, that is why there are 40. This comes in handy, particularly the smaller letters to make words. The capital W was a little warped on arrival, but after I washed them in hot water and manipulated it a little and held it in place for a minute or two, it now holds it shape. I keep the additional letters in a separate container so the children can easily set up the alphabet first, then if they want to make words gets out the extra letters. Great learning tool.

Every one-year-old should have these! They are BIG and, crucially, lower-case. Introduce one or two to start with, with a word which is meaningful and/or fun to your child, and action if it works, and they will soon be doing the whole set. My one-year-old took to names of people in the family, daddy and mummy, tv characters, nappy, uh-oh!, Pippin, etc. Also things he likes to eat; 'eggie' works. S is just 'sssss' like a snake, O is 'o,o,o' and put the letter over your 'o'-shaped mouth. They live on the freezer, and he has never been pushed to take an interest. Don't wait for school to do it, it's your job, and you'll do it better than one poor soul with 30 children! Your child will enjoy school so much more if they are confident when they get there, and can show what they can do. Give your child the right start now! (and, yes, I have been a primary teacher!) Now he's recognising letters everywhere and I hope he will be reading, like my other 2, by the time he goes to school.

Great quality, fun to have jumbo sized, and were immediately a hit
