Curious Columbus - 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!

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.

Does not easily seperate from the magnet so they are safer than others I've researched. They are a good size too for my 2.5 year old and 6 year old. I like that there are 3 of each lowercase letter and 1 capital and that all the matching letters are the same color which helps for identification on some of the similar ones. There is an extra #1 to make 10 which is a different color than the zero, I imagine to help understand that 10 is two digits? Either way, we like it.

Bright colors, magnet covers the entire back of each piece. Nice quantity of letters. I used them with my son, supervised. I wouldn't let a child play with these without you right there with them if that child still puts things in his mouth. The upper case letters are bigger and less likely to be able to be swallowed, but they still aren't as big as I'd hoped. My son tried to chew on them. I bought some Melissa and Doug wooden puzzle pieces of barn animals and shapes to use for now, and I'll pull these back out when he's a little bigger. They will be great for educational value.

I absolutely love this product!!! I purchased them for my 5 year old ASD son. He is obsessed with letters and he plays with them on his magnet easel and manipulates them constantly. This set of magnet foam letters in particular have been the best set I have ever purchased for him. They are extremely sturdy and he even still puts a lot of toys in his mouth ( one of the reasons I chose this product as well is because they are non toxic!) and he has not bitten through any of these letters or damaged them. He has destroyed, bitten through and pulled apart so many other foam letters from different brands, but not these, they are the absolute best and strongest and safest. I will absolutely be purchasing this product again I am very, very impressed with the quality and hope they can make other foam magnet products just like maybe bright colorful pictures foam magnets to coordinate matching with the letters of the alphabet such as apple, bear or ball, cup or crayon, dog or dragon, etc. whatever they see fit. That would be an amazing teaching tool that would be strong and sturdy. I use these for home with a magnet board but I could see this product lasting in a classroom setting for visual teaching as well! Well made and highly recommended, no need to look any further, these are the best hands down!

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+.

perfect for grandkids

Magnets are good quality but are a little smaller than we thought they would be. And although they are foam, our 13 month old still managed to chew pieces of the foam or magnet backing off a little bit. The bigger ones are a little bit better. Thankfully there’s so many magnets in the pack we can just replace any that are too small or have been chewed with back ups.
