> 24 hourI am a pediatric speech therapist and use these almost everyday. They have held up well and the kids love naming them and finding metal to stick them on. The pictures are bright and appealing to kids.

> 24 hourI bought this for my 1.5 yr old son. I noticed him playing with fridge magnets at other peoples houses and thought itd be a good way to distract him when Im cooking. These magnets are perfect. Theyre about 1/2 thick so he can easily hold them and get them on and off the fridge. Theyre soft and he likes squeezing them but so far hasnt done any damage to them other than minor wrinkling from all the squeezing. Weve had them for about 2 months and so far they are holding up perfectly well (no peeling ink or anything). The set is very diverse but relatively basic in the type of objects represented so its perfect for toddlers- the drawings are mostly things theyve seen in books already (cats, dogs, cows, trees, kites, etc.) so theyre familiar, but there are also things that are less common for childrens picture books but still every day things to learn, such as the bald eagle, acorn, house, clock. There are a lot of magnets in the set- I think 60- which is a ton for one fridge, so I have only taken out a selection of maybe 15 for now and plan to rotate them once he loses interest. I think the set will grow really well with him- right now I use it to teach him vocabulary, but once hes mastered names for things it will be easy to make up new games with these: grouping by categories, alphabet games. The selection and variety of objects is really just perfect in my opinion- you could really work a lot of angles for entertainment and learning with these. I plan to get more sets for gifts. Oh and one last thing I like: they come in a plastic tub with a screw on cap. I love that its a reusable, durable container. I just screwed the cap back on after picking out a few and put the jar on top of the fridge. I feel like usually toy packaging isnt so considerate for the long haul- cheap, flimsy plastic thats only good for pre-use storage. I appreciate that I didnt have to find a new place to keep the extra magnets we arent using yet.

> 24 hourThis are colorful magnets for playing and for educational use. There are 60! magnets so we can rotate them and the kids do not get bored. Approx. 13/4 tall High quality toys and games Products that are great fun from children to adults 13/4 tall For ages 3 and up I have been looking for something like this for a while now and decided to try them out. These …. are spectacular! I must admit I was not so sure they would be fun but my twins just love them! I bought these magnets for my 30 month old to use on a magnet board in our hallway. I chose these because 1) the magnet is all one piece on the back, not little strips or pieces that can come off and be eaten, 2) they are foam, not wood with paint, 3) theyre not so small that I have to worry about my daughter swallowing them. The set has 60 magnets, but I didnt give them all to her at once. Some of the smaller, narrower ones (a key, a feather) I kept in the tub, but there are lots of good animal ones (cow, chicken, cat, rabbit, dog, ect.) and every day objects (block, blanket, doll, house, star, ball, ect.) that I put out for her to play with. They keep her occupied and when she holds one out I tell her what it is. She has put them in her mouth a few times, but I discourage her from doing so when I see her. The tub is great to hold the extras that shes not playing with, and the magnets are strong, durable, and safe for little ones. I really like these magnets and wish there were more sets similar to this by the same company, because I would definitely buy them! Very satisfied with the shipping, as well, I got it very fast and the packaging was great! Everything arrived unopened, clean and not damaged!

> 24 hourI’m so glad I found these magnets!! I’ve been looking for magnets for my 21 month old and all the reviews were horrible until I find these. This was honestly the best purchase I’ve made for my daughter. These keep her busy for hours. She plays with them in the kitchen while I’m cooking and I also bought her a magnet board for in her room. This is the first thing she plays with when she wakes up in the morning. I’ve had them for about a week now and they seem really sturdy. She’s only tried to chew on them once and there were barely even any marks. These are her favorite thing to play with and I’m SO happy I bought them

> 24 hourI’ve searched and searched and all of the other magnets peel off. I bought these 6 months ago and they still have not peeled off and are in great condition. My son throws them all around the house, they’ve been in water even, and they are still holding up. I’m impressed and that’s rare.

> 24 hourWe have 2.5 y.o. twins and constantly looking for creative ways to educate them. So, our kids are now into: - Puzzles - Stickers - Magnets Each type of activity has plus and minus, but all allow kids to learn very well Animals, Shapes, Colors, etc. Very effective. We started with Puzzles, as kids loved them for a while (paper / wood / foam puzzles). Moved to Stickers (nice, but kids tend to tear them - so reusable stickers are questionable.. stickers end fast). Newest idea is Magnets. I had Magnetic Alphabet, which kids loved, so figured lets try other Magnetic things. Magnets are great for many reasons: sturdy, reusable, easy to handle for kids. You just need magnetic stand/board. So we got 4 types of Magnet games: 1) Lewo Farm -

> 24 hourI got these for my 2 year olds magnetic easel to work on expanding her vocabulary and to give her more soft foam magnets to play with besides her letters and numbers. I am extremely happy with these! They work great on the easel as well as the refrigerator and they are very bright, colorful, and engaging. You get 60 magnets in the set with at least 2 objects per letter, some of which include ball, pizza, drum, grapes, cow, fish, bunny, clock, and tree. The plastic container is great for storing the magnets and making sure you dont lose them. Before I bought these, I read the reviews and some people said they were just stickers on the magnets, but to me, they appear to be fused on and havent started peeling at all. I also dont worry about the magnets falling off the back and being choking hazards like I did with the other cheap plastic magnets. Another thing I love about these is that there is such a variety of educational activities that you can do with your child, such as common object recognition, categorization (animals, food, outdoor items,etc), and you can make an interactive story out of them. You can also do color recognition on the objects. My daughter loves these and plays with them often! As much as we love these, Im giving them four stars because they are very expensive and also when you open the container, there is an odd chemical smell, but I remedied that by just leaving the top off the container and letting them air out. Highly recommended learning tool!

> 24 hourPERFECT!!! Finding learning devices for my two year old can be a chore sometimes because he has a younger brother who just loves to chew on EVERYthing. Well, thats to be expected since hes teething. So, when I found these, I immediately jumped on ordering them for multiple reasons. 1) They consist of a variety of different objects. Some that my two year old doesnt know quite yet so he gets to learn something new. 2) They are foam! I have had bad luck with magnets of the reinforced cardboard type. His younger brother can grab these and gnaw to his hearts delight and they remain intact which leads me to... 3) The magnet covers the whole back. Its thin magnetic backing instead of a some tiny nubby square or circle being glued onto the back. It pretty much eliminates that particular choking danger. Obviously, kids being kids, you should ALWAYS keep an eye on them because god knows what theyre going to try to shove up their nose or what new object they think might taste good - but the backing on these has not worn off, peeled off, or come apart as of yet and my boys have been playing with/chewing on them for about two months now. Lastly, if your tub is of metal making, they can play with them during bath time. Its a great distraction from when Im trying to get behind their ears. :-) I highly recommend this - they work on the fridge, your filing cabinet, a kids magnetic board, the bath tub - theyll even just line them up on the floor. Great learning toy that has withstood the destructive hands of children.
