Curious Columbus - Magnetic Letters & Numbers

I bought these for my daughter. The foam material is really tactile, and I like the full back magnets which make sure the letters stay the right way up on the fridge door and don't come off for my little girl to swallow, so I feel safe about her using them. The letters are a good size for little hands, and in a range of attractive, eye-catching colours. There are three of each lower case letter and one of each capital letter, which is plenty for our needs, and there are also numbers 1 - 10. My daughter gets really enthusiastic about playing with them. She can be a little heavy-handed with them at times, resulting in them getting a bit bent, but so far, I've always been able to get them back to their original shape, and in fairness, she's technically a bit young to be playing with them, so that's probably more my fault for not waiting until she's older than a problem with the product.

I bought this set for my nephews ages 2 and 3. They are obsessed with numbers and letters and were just thrilled to receive them! The picture shown is about half the amount. We’ve had to separate them so some can be played with on the fridge and some on a magnetic board (purchased on Amazon). The letters and numbers are very magnetised yet easy enough for little fingers to reposition. They are also a great size and very colourful. The kids loved the fact that there are so many ‘spare’ letters! The elder, although 3 yrs old, can spell and read very well so he is happy he has enough letters to do so. Overall, we are all very happy with this kit. My only suggestion would be to add a duplicate set of numbers...they love counting too!😁 Oh and it’s great that the zero is shaped differently from the O!! The kids noticed that immediately, so thank you for that...well done!!! I would highly recommend this kit to anyone with or without kids as it’s great for leaving messages too!

I really like these letters and numbers, as does my little one. A good size for little hands, nice colours and well made. Will leave teeth marks if bitten though! Downside was the price, I ordered when they were £5 off but still considerably more expensive than other options and for that price I expect a better storage container than a plastic bag inside a cardboard box which will get wrecked

Over the last few years I've bought four sets of these letters for my son and his cousins. There are one Capital and three Lower Case letters which means that you can write words and short sentences, unlike some sets which only have one of each letter. I also like that each letter is in the same colour foam and that all of the vowels are blue; making it much easier to spot the letter you are looking for. The letters are good quality and last well. The magnetic back has lasted well and hasn't come away (even after a ride in the washing machine).

Big, bright, sturdy and very well made, perfect for little ones to hold and use. Stick brilliantly and no nasty little magnets to fall out at the back. Lots of letters upper and lower case and numbers plenty in this set! Worth every penny.

I am so very impressed with this product. The packaging is good quality and well designed for storing the magnets in between uses. The magnets themselves are brilliant quality & come in wonderful bright colours. My daughter loves using them. The full covering on the back of them means that they can be used on her magnetic drawing board (like a Magna Doodle) to create imprints of letters and numbers. We also stick them onto a whiteboard. They are the only magnets that I was able to find with the full magnet coverage to allow her to use them as stamps on the drawing board. Unfortunately 2 letters & 1 number in the pack did not have full magnetic coverage, but a quick email to the seller, and they amazingly sent me out replacements in the same colour, straight away. I was extremely surprised and impressed when they arrived the next day via recorded delivery. Brilliant customer service. We are now able to put her age up & spell more words, since the replacements arrived. I highly recommend the product and the company.

Great letters and numbers, good variety both upper and lower case letters as well as numbers. Bought to help my foster child with reading & spellings. Just bought 2nd set for a friend who fosters for her current child. Fab teaching aid. lovely soft digits which still well and stay in place. no sliding or tilting. Would buy again and again for a variety of children.

Nice quality of product and packaging, I would say a fair price. My only quibble is that it seemed that the limited number of letters meant that after spelling a few words my children would have to reuse the same letters rather than form words to compare, particularly with words that use several of the same letters for example Banana, i'm not even sure you can spell that as there may not be 3 a's without checking.
