Fridge alphabet Magnets

My son is 14 months old and has discovered magnets. So I really wanted to give him the opportunity to play with some that I wasn't worried about him swallowing. These seemed like the perfect choice.

The plastic letters seem quite well made. They are sturdy and should hold up to his playing for a long time. The magnets on the back of them are just glue on magnet tape (I think it's called) and the magnets barely hold the letter itself up. They won't even stick to each other. For me, this is a disadvantage. I would prefer that the magnets be at least a little stronger (maybe strong enough to hold a single sheet of paper or even a half sheet...) that way he could explore more of how magnets work. These will still be fun though and should allow him a tactical way of playing with the alphabet and learning letters, which is still a little ways off as it is.

The letters are not huge, but plenty large enough that I don't worry about him playing with them without direct worried supervision. If your child is still insisting on shoving everything as deep as he can into his mouth, these would be on the small side though.

I can't confirm if we got all the pieces because we only pulled out 5 letters for him to work with right now. We are not to the point of spelling or even looking at letters and saying names, so we were more interested in having just enough that we can pick them up and put them back as he's playing with them but not be losing them all over the house. As he gets older, we will bring more and more of them out.

As long as you aren't looking for a strong magnet (i.e. a magnet that will do anything more than barely hold the letter up), then these are a good choice. I would get them again. Though I might later hand swap out the magnets for something a little more powerful.

I received the product mentioned above for free or greatly discounted in exchange for my review. Regardless, I only recommend products I like and use personally.
