Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug Magnetic Wooden Alphabet
Customer Review: A picky homeschool mom likes these!
Summary: 4 Stars
I read reviews online and looked at products in stores for a month before buying this set of wooden letters for my 3 year old. Overall, I love the product.
There are three flaws that do irritate me, however. One, like others have stated, these letters are covered in paper, which comes right off when you chew on them. But they still hold up well and look good, and of course they are still perfectly functional. And children digest paper just fine :) We have the paper-covered Melissa & Doug jigsaw puzzles and have not had a major issue with the paper coming off, and this product is made the same way. The other imperfection, to me, cannot really be resolved so I deal with it. I don't like that the lowercase letters requiring a dot (i,j....) have the dot attached to the lower part of the letter. Maybe this will confuse some children. But, there is really no way around it, so I realize this is more my issue than the manufacturer's. Lastly, I do not like that the lowercase "p" and the lowercase "d" are identical, although they are different colors. This may also cause confusion. But again, there's really no way around that.
I do like the fully magnetized backing on each letter, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out that these letters are not jumbo-sized. An uppercase H is just under 2" tall, for example. Perfect size for small hands on a magnetic white board. I also like that the letters look the way they are typically taught in school. For example, the uppercase J has no top bar and the lowercase a is not the way it appears when typed.
And most importantly, my daughter loves the toy and asks to "do school" with the letters and her white board several times a day. We bought two sets to spell things easily.
