Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug Magnetic Wooden Alphabet
Customer Review: Great for toddler!
Summary: 5 Stars
This product says age 2+ but my sixteen month old has been interested in letters and numbers for months now. I spelled out 'Hot Oven' on the oven door and throughout the day we go spell words on the fridge. At night we spell out Bed Time. Let your imagination go crazy with them. I look forward to purchasing the numbers. The magnets are great, can not be swallowed. The product would be better if there were some laminating over the letter. My son got ahold of little 'L' while teething and the layers of wood separated but did not splinter. I can't blame the product when I gave it to him younger than recommended. Overall terrific and will give your child a great head start to reading!Customer Review: These letters/numbers are the BEST for your money!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, they're a little more pricey than what you can buy at Walmart, but they're worth it. They've stood up to my 16-month old chewing on them. And best of all, no worries about a little magnet coming off the back and being aspirated or swallowed because the entire back is magnet. They hold on great. So, redecorate your fridge, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer with these great ABC/123 magnets.
Update -- The paper starts peeling off when your kid dunks them in the dog's water bowl. I don't think the manufacturer should be faulted for that. I still think they're great. We bought a second set because daughter has learned about the trash can and several letters were missing.
Customer Review: Not Typical Melissa & Doug Quality
Summary: 2 Stars
I have purchased many Melissa & Doug toys, because I feel quality and safety is worth the higher price tag. But I was not pleased with the magnets. All of their other wooden toys are painted, so I expected the letters to also be painted. They aren't. Instead, it is a paper lining over the letter, which easily came off into my sons mouth moments after opening the package. My friend purchased cheap plastic letters at a local store, and is much happier with hers. I wish I had done the same. For now, they are packed up until my son gets over his sucking on everything phase.
If your child likes to put toys in their mouth, these letters won't hold up to the drool.
Customer Review: My second set!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love these magnetic letters. I bought these a few years ago for my daughter when she was 2 because she really liked the few plastic alphabet letters that we owned. When my son turned 2 he picked up the same interest in them. They're so fun and colorful that both my daughter and son learned all of their ABC's (capital and lower case) before they were two years old.
However, my son treated them more rough than my daughter (everything in the mouth!) plus we've moved a few times in the last few years (military) so it was time for a new set.
I have an infant son now and I can't wait to share them with him when he gets older, too!
Customer Review: Love these magnets!
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered a set of these and a set of the number magnets for both my son and my nephew. The biggest thing I like about these, compared to the plastic letter/number magnets, is that the magnet covers the whole back of the letter. This allows them to stick much more securely than the kind that have just a small magnet on the back. The letters are about 2 inches tall and 1-2 inches wide, depending on the letter, so they are pretty similar in size to the commonly found plastic letters/numbers. I mention this because in the pictures they look a little bigger than that, but they're not. I'm really satisifed with these magnets and I'm happy that I found them!
