Melissa & Doug 20 Wooden Animal Magnets in a Box - Cute Animal Fridge, Refrigerator Magnets For Toddlers Ages 2+

Super cute

Magnets could be a bit stronger and the paper rips odd the magnets easy. They feel kind of cheap

I actually got these to mark which washers and dryers Im using in the laundry room of my complex, since so many washers and dryers are always out of order, its impossible to get consecutive ones. They stick to both really well...and make it obvious where my clothes are lol.

My daughter (18m) loves these on the fridge!

The only reason I knocked a star off is the design is printed on by paper? So, moisture, kid biting it, and similar will ruin the design. My 1 and 2 year old love these. We removed the smaller ones for now. Some of the designs are coming off, but they still love them for now

Several pieces right out of the package where messed up really bad. Peeling. Disappointed

My granddaughter is a year old and loves putting the magnets on the refrigerator, it keeps her busy for a little while ! Also I tell her the names of the animals

I love these things although I just got them, so I cant really say as to how much they hold up I do have a clear gloss spray paint in my garage so I might end up spray painting them all just to make sure they stay on cuz I see in some reviews that it has some peeling issues Im wondering if maybe that would solve that issue, but so far these things are amazing. I have like I guess I was blessed because I have metal doors in almost every door in my house is metal, so we can put these on any door we want to or you know the appliances or whatever you can see in my photos like she has them everywhere shes got them on almost every single door shes got them on all the appliances and she hasnt stopped playing with them for the last hour since we got them so I dont know how long theyll keep her attention but for now thats all shes doing is walking around playing with these magnets on every door in the house LOL so theyre definitely mom approved to me anyways, and luckily my baby shes already starting to do ABCs and one two threes so really thats why I wanted to get magnets in the first place is to have something we can play with basically anywhere in the house that I could teach her her letters and numbers at the same time so these work really well for that but she does know like half the animals she already knows all the animals but theyre still fun to play with move from door to door move from appliance to appliance she loves doing it so definitely if you have a lot of metal surfaces in your house this would be amazing for you as a mom. Cuz it will give you some time to yourself LOL and you actually have to get up and go look for your child because your child is being so quiet that youre not sure if theyre getting in trouble or if theyre just occupied and most of the time its just that shes occupied LOL so yes definitely thats my review if you want something thats going to keep your childs attention for a while these are definitely it if youve got a lot of metal services in your house these are definitely it if you just need a 10 minute break quiet time to yourself these are it LOL I will probably edit in about a month or two just to show durability but I mean theyre magnets what more can you possibly want from them theyre just magnets like theyre not cheap little foam plastic magnets that fall apart in two seconds you know these are for the most part would backing with what looks to be a picture printed on the front you know but the magnet covers the entire back of each piece so they hold up on the refrigerator pretty well.

This is not my first Melissa and Doug purchase. My family and I are a big fan of their products and are familiar with the quality I can expect when ordering from them. With that said, I was a little disspointed with the 20 piece Animal Magnet set we recently ordered for my daughter (18 mos) for Christmas. When we recieved the item it came in its own box, shrink wrapped in plastic. After looking at the product for some time I decided it would be safe to remove the flimsy plastic to make for easier wrapping (and consequently easier opening come Christmas). I wrongly assumed at this point however that the lid to the box of animals was concealed under the plastic. Truth be told THERE IS NO LID. Instead, a cheap plastic cover sits on top of the magnets to hold them into place. Once you rip off the plastic to access the magnets, thats it. There is no closing it back up. Besides this making wrapping problematic (I ended up taping the plastic cover to the wooden box to hold the magnets in place until Christmas), it also makes storage and travel an issue. Whats the point of having a quality wooden box to hold the animals if there is no lid to contain them? Other M&D magnetic products (like the 52 piece ABC set) have a hard plastic lid that slides into place to prevent the magnets from just falling all over the place when not in use. I was hoping for the same quality here. =/ And yes, Im including the wooden box in the review because that is how this product is described. Some how though, they managed to mix packaging and product and give us a wooden box w/o a lid. (Can you imagine buying a barrel of monkeys without a lid to the barrel??) Anyways, I was very pleased with the magnets themselves. They seem sturdy enough and have a wide varity of animals. My only concern would be what would happen if they get wet. While I know this isnt M&Ds fault (the item is suggested for ages 3+), Ive always imagined chidlrens toys should be at least a teensy bit water proof. Fortunately though, my daughter is already past the stage where she chews on everything. I cant wait to see her face on Christmas morning when she opens up her magnets! (shell be even more thrilled when she realises that the large package in the back of them room is a magnetic easel!)

My almost 2 year old loves this product! She loves animals and has a big interest in magnets so that’s why I purchased and she played with it all day when it came in. She uses them as magnets or just plays with them as animals. They are durable but if your littles put everything in their mouths like mine do, the animal pictures are going to eventually fade away because of the paper/hard cover book like material.
