Wooden Magnetic Letters (Lowercase)

I searched high and wide for a set of magnetic lower case letters for my 14-month old girl, to promote letter recognition and first experiences with the alphabet. These are sold as "wooden" letters, but are really compressed plywood with a thin plastic coating, but this is being pedantic really, as they are fabulous quality with a nice sheen. Some say the patterns are too busy; I disagree, they are fun! A great feature is that they do not have a round magnetic disk glued to the back, which may fall off and pose a choking hazard, but rather the whole reverse of each letter is magnetic, via a layer of magnetic coating. Another plus is the extra helping of vowels, so you can actually spell some words out with your child. We use them on the fridge freezer door, but plan to buy one of the magnetic notice boards when she is a little older. Letters also have dots above them, where appropriate (e.g. "i" and "j'), unlike some sets. Overall, a happy customer, 5*. Update 20.12.20 - letters withstood the test of time. Still sticking to the fridge and in good shape! Fantastic buy!

I read a review on Amazon before buying these and it said something along the lines of 'if you have to have magnetic letters on your fridges, then these are an attractive option'. I must admit I totally agree, good high quality finish, great colours/patterns (we've had visitors comment on how nice they look); miles better than those cheap plastic alternatives. The whole of the back of each letter is magnetic and they stick well (no sliding down the door), and are strong enough for 2-3 to keep one of the kids art masterpieces in place. Definitely recommend spending a little more and getting something you won't hate looking at within 2 days.

This is a great way of introducing letter recognition to young children, both of my boys (under 2) love these and began to recognise the letters of their names etc within a few days. They're attractive and brightly coloured enough to keep them permanently stuck to our freezer and the boys spend ages picking out letters and swapping them all around. I even use them stuck to baking sheets when I want them to be "portable". Overall a great quality product that sticks well and feels robust enough for small hands, I would recommend.

Good quality, the back of the letters are fully magnetic so they hold quite well. Good mix of letters, just wish there were more. Some are hard to work out initially, but not a big problem. The numbers box has a lot more magnets for about the same price.

Great item for young children. Great quality . Great educational otem

Great quality but the box I received is missing the letter I. Not helpful when using to teach your child to spell their name and it includes the letter I!!!! Will be complaining. Dont need the hassle of returning as its a great quality item and looks lovely.

Colourful, strong, yet safe magnets that my daughters have played with for hours. These feel a quality product and have withstood alot of use so far with no wear and tear markings, yet! The magnetic backs span the whole size of the letters so no risking of little magnets being swallowed (as can happen with cheaper magnetic letters) . The makers have even included more of the popular letters (e, a etc) but I would suggest to them to include more m's and d's as if like me you want to write mummy and daddy on your fridge you will need to use a w upside down for mummy and a p upside down for daddy as you only get 2 m's and 2 p's...

Love these letters on our fridge. They are colourful and makes a change from the plastic ones that look tacky. Great learning tool for daughter who is learning phonic sounds at school. It has more than one letter, generally 3 of each letter maybe 4 of the common ones. Maybe 2 of less common.

Una muy buena manera de combinar el aprendizaje de mayúsculas y minúsculas. Agradables al tacto, ligeras y muy apreciadas por el niño, que dejó aparte otras que tiene de madera para ponerse a jugar con éstas en su pizarra magnética, a pesar de que le gustaba mucho repartir las de madera por la alfombra.

Lots of good features like below 1. They are not plain and have attractive colors and designs 2. Magnets are strong. No risk of magnets coming out 3. Multiple units of frequently used letters to enable kids to make words

Wir hatten diese Buchstaben bereits bei unserer Tochter benutzt. Sie hat damit sehr gern gespielt und leicht gelernt. Auch unser Sohn liebt diese Buchstaben! In der Packung sind genügend Buchstaben, um auch Wörter wie "Mama", "Papa" etc. zu legen. Etliche Buchstaben sind also doppelt. Die bunten Muster sind super! Sie bedeuten nicht immer den Anfangsbuchstaben von dem Bedeutungswort, aber bieten individuellen Erkennungswert. Die Magnete haften gut. Die Box ist hübsch u stabil, aber wir haben dazu eine praktische Holzschachtel mit Schiebe-Scheibe. Das find ich schade, dass dies hier nicht so ist.

Die Verarbeitung ist bestens, muss nichts nachgearbeitet werden. Die Magnete sind ordentlich und ganzflächig, löst sich auch nichts ab, wenn Kinderhände damit spielen. Da es Holz ist, sollten die Buchstaben vor Wasser geschützt werden (nicht zum Draußenspielen) gedacht. Da Kinder in diesem Alter erst Buchstabenwissen erwerben, war ich skeptisch, ob die Muster nicht vom Wesentlichen ablenken würden und einfarbige Buchstaben besser wären. Das bekommen die Kids aber, wenn man ihnen noch anderes Buchstabenmaterial in anderem Kontext gibt, ganz gut hin. Die Buchstaben sind zudem sehr dekorativ und halten auch einen (!) Notizzettel am Kühlschrank. Beim Kauf für Kinder im Leselernalter sei noch anzumerken, dass die Buchstaben der Schuldruckschrift entsprechen, z.b. das kleine A, das in adneren Parekten oft wie ein Computer-A geschrieben wird und von den Kindern dann gar nicht als solches wahrgenommen wird. Werde die Buchstaben noch einmal zum Verschenken kaufen.

Letras de alta calidad, en madera, colores vivos e imantados. Están en el frigorífico desde que se compraron cuando mi hijas tenía dos anos y jugaba a diario con ellos. Ahora tiene 4 y ya forma sus primeras palabras.
