First of all – READ THE DESCRIPTION. It says right there that it is “for use with” magnetic boards, not that it comes with one. If the picture showed the magnets on a refrigerator, would you expect that to come with it? Of course not, so why should this be any different? Anyway, the magnets are kinda small so watch around little kids (babies). I had to put them away for now because my baby likes to eat them.

I bought this Magnetic Alphabet and Numbers because I liked the board that it shows to put the magnets on but it does not come with the set? the way it is showing in the picture it looks like the board comes with it

This is a great educational toy for toddlers. My 3 year old loves it and is learning his numbers with it on the fridge.

Where’s the board that appears with the magnetic letters in the ad? For less money I could have gotten the letters elsewhere and attached them to a cookie sheet. As it is, I will have to do that anyway!

My sister left this at my house when my nephew was 6 months old. He loved to play with it & when they went home the little girl I baby-sat would play with it too, she was much younger than he was at the time & she had a lot more time to play with it. Now, both of them are 2+ years old, the thing still works & my 6 month old niece is coming for a visit… I’m certain she’ll have fun with it too.
Durable toy & kids like it, I think they might be too young to get any educational benefit from it while it’s fun for them to play with & then by the time they’re learning more it isn’t fun anymore. For $14, it’s worth it.

My 6 month old son loves this toy because he can make it spin himself. When he was learning to sit up, this toy was a big help because we could sit in right in front of him and he could reach it without toppling over. He also could play with it during tummy time. There are 3 different settings and the songs are catchy, not annoying although they do tend to get stuck in your head. The high/low volume option in a nice feature too. Our baby is so proud of himself every time he makes it work. I love how easily and smooth it spins. It does tend to tip over easily, and I frequently have to sit it back up to the correct position. Some of the animal sounds are a little odd and I wish it had more lights, but overall a great toy.

For example, whales don’t actually sing whale songs. The sound a whale makes is a splash. Lions don’t roar; they say, in a very perky female voice, ‘rar!’. Kangaroos and rabbits sound like springs sproinging. Jellyfish sound like bubbles in water. I can’t even figure out what the zebra noise is supposed to be.
I get that coming up with a sound for jellyfish might be hard, so why’d they choose jellyfish? And for horses that say ‘neigh!’ and lions that say ‘rar!’, why not use vaguely realistic sounds instead of the same vocalist who sings the little song that plays while the wheel is spinning? They managed to get a ‘bzzz’ sound for the bees that’s enough to make me reach for bug spray, so it’s not that the whole concept is foreign.
And god forbid your child gets tired of this toy and wants to move to some other entertainment. This device will make a sound after 15 seconds of sitting idle, so your child can’t be lured away by quieter toys like building blocks or books.

It’s really a cute toy. Bought it for my friend’s kids for their birthday and I believe they like it. The animal sounds are kind of strange, but its still cute and very educational. Would buy again if needed!

These mats are perfect! I purchased these mats for my 3 year old son’s play room because the carpet was too rough for his skin. I love these mats because they provide him comfort and protection. He loves them because of the colorful numbers and letters. No regrets. And they are not thin like other mats that are out there.

Let me first say that I don’t use the High/Scope curriculum. However, the curriculum is pretty widely used and has some good ideas behind it. The book sounded from the description like it would be a good general literacy resource, as the first words children recognize are usually their names and their friends’ names and their letters are those most familiar to them. But this book is an example of why I wish every book had the option to preview before buying. I’ve never gone wrong with a book on Amazon when I’ve previewed it first to make sure it’s really what I’m looking for. What the description fails to mention is this:
First, the book is not a universal or “anytime” set of activities or games for helping children recognize and write their names and letters in their names. What it is, is a “system” where the teacher first helps each child choose a picture having the same beginning sound as their own name. For example, a picture of bread for names beginning like “Br” (Brianna, Brian, Brody, etc.) or Elephant for short E names (Erin, Ella, Evan, Emily, etc.) All of the activities relate to these links, the idea being that at first, children with use the symbols to recognize things with their names and eventually will learn to recognize the name without the symbol.
Second, most of the book is NOT information or activities – 2/3 of book, pages 33-99, are pages of several “letter link” pictures to photocopy for each letter sound(s). Here’s a breakdown of the content: pages 3-8 contain information about early literacy, the alphabetic principle, name writing and recognition, and a 2 page chart with samples of the stages of writing with corresponding ages. Very basic early literacy information–if you have an early childhood education degree (which I’d assume a majority of those intending to use this book would), this is all stuff you know already. Pages 9-15 are the principles behind the “letter links” system and steps on how to begin. Pages 17-29 are 25 suggestions on activities to do with the “letter links”. Even if you decide to use this system, most of these ideas are pretty much common sense.
Here’s the things I take issue with:
I feel like this is a really outdated system, as many of my three year olds learn to recognize their names and friends names by doing lots of literacy games, hands on letter/alphabet/writing activities, singing songs, pointing out letter in their names in the context of something else (as in “hey, August starts like Audrey…they sound the same!” during calendar activities), having their names on the word wall, and labeling as much as possible with names. I bought this to get some more creative ideas in the same vein. This wasn’t of use to me at all. Yes, the “letter” link pictures are associated with the child’s initial sound, but why learn picture symbols first? Wouldn’t it be more meaningful to attach children’s names to the child’s actual picture and then eventually get rid of the pictures and just use the names once they begin to recognize them?
Also, while some of the “letter link” pictures are common, recognizable things (each letter sound is given four pictures and then addtional suggestions are listed), many are either confusing, completely ridiculous, or both. A picture of a flower for “Bl” names is supposed to be “blossom”, “Auger” “Auk” “Autoharp” and “Automobile” for “Au” names, or “ermine” and “erne” as the only two suggestions for Er as in Ernest. My favorite is the “Eu” or /yoo/ sound as in Eugene or Eunice. The pictures are Eucalyptus, Eulachon, Euphonium, Euro, and Euphorbia. Come on, REALLY? Other puzzling suggestions are “quarter note” “prairie schooner” “oryx” “organpipe cactus”, “nautilus”, “kraken”, “Glockenspiel”, “Eiderdown” and “Eider duck”, “Chaise lounge”, “chalet”, “xebec”, and “xiphosuron”, among many others. I understand that to follow through with the idea, they had to find at least one picture for every initial sound, but if the child, or even the adult in some cases, isn’t familiar with the object or the picture has a name more commonly associated with it by children (how many children do you know would see a picture of a car and call it an automobile?) then how is it of any benefit to them? That completely defeats the theory or reasoning behind their system.
Last, I can see a glaring problem with names pronounced untradtionally or names of another language or country (as the letter/sound picture associations wouldn’t hold). Yes, they do include some less common names or names common to other cultures (Pedro, Prya, Habib, Keeya, Miyoko, Shemeya, Umberto, etc.), I assume so that the book appears culturally sensitive, but all of those names hold to English pronunciation standards when in reality, many others don’t. What about, for example, a name like “Julio”?
As negative as this review sounds, I’m not writing the review to bash the book. However, there are too many problems with it not to mention. Especially since there are no other reviews, no way to preview the book, and the description isn’t detailed enough. If you’re looking for good books with developmentally appropriate, hands-on literacy activities, games, and lessons, I’d suggest “I Love Letters!: More Than 200 Quick & Easy Activities to Introduce Young Children to Letters and Literacy” by Dr. Jean Feldman and “More Than Letters: Literacy Activities for Preschool, Kindergarten, and First Grade” by Sally Moomaw

I don’t know why they have this listed as ages 9-12, but my 2 year old loves this! we do one letter each day, play the song a few times, and we do the letter dance (just a dance we made up for each letter to help her remember them, it’s not part of the chart).
I would definitely recommend this for a preschool teacher or a parent of a preschooler to help them learn their alphabet. I also recommend the calendar and time chart too.
They are durable too; she flips them herself.

As other reviewers have noted, these otherwise sturdy wooden magnets don’t take well to water. They lasted almost two years for us in good condition until my daughter left them outside overnight and they got wet. Then the paper peeled off and now they are unsightly. I don’t understand why the color has to be printed on paper instead of painted directly onto the wood. If they were painted instead of paper, they would last for so much longer.
These are still better than the plastic alternative, however.

This is a great product for the kindergarten student learning to read. Our son enjoys creating words and replacing letters to create new words.
July 15th, 2010 at 10:36 am
These are awesome letters…and not your typical magnetic refrigerator ones either. There is no magnet to be swallowed or choked on. I would have thought a bit more letters would come in the pack, but that’s alright – we’ll just get another one.
July 15th, 2010 at 10:18 pm
I bought one box for each of my 4 year old (twins). We keep them on the frige and the enjoy learning how to spell words and learning the upper and lower case letters. Others said they start to delaminate, but I haven’t seen this. I wouldn’t recommend this for children that still put things in their mouth b/c they would start to delaminate.

Good toy for teaching the alphabet, but the sound quality is poor. For example “A” sounds like “eh.” My friend’s 2 year old specifically mispronounces certain letters to sound like the voices on this toy.
July 16th, 2010 at 10:38 pm
The leapfrog set is so sturdy and durable. My 19 month old loves the fridge magnets, they are easy for her to hold. She just can’t get enough of them. She can even put the letters in the sun player herself and it repeats the letter to her.
