Tidlo Wooden Magnetic Letters (Lowercase)

I searched high and wide for a set of magnetic lower case letters for my 14-month old girl, to promote letter recognition and first experiences with the alphabet. These are sold as "wooden" letters, but are really compressed plywood with a thin plastic coating, but this is being pedantic really, as they are fabulous quality with a nice sheen. Some say the patterns are too busy; I disagree, they are fun! A great feature is that they do not have a round magnetic disk glued to the back, which may fall off and pose a choking hazard, but rather the whole reverse of each letter is magnetic, via a layer of magnetic coating. Another plus is the extra helping of vowels, so you can actually spell some words out with your child. We use them on the fridge freezer door, but plan to buy one of the magnetic notice boards when she is a little older. Letters also have dots above them, where appropriate (e.g. "i" and "j'), unlike some sets. Overall, a happy customer, 5*. Update 20.12.20 - letters withstood the test of time. Still sticking to the fridge and in good shape! Fantastic buy!

I read a review on Amazon before buying these and it said something along the lines of 'if you have to have magnetic letters on your fridges, then these are an attractive option'. I must admit I totally agree, good high quality finish, great colours/patterns (we've had visitors comment on how nice they look); miles better than those cheap plastic alternatives. The whole of the back of each letter is magnetic and they stick well (no sliding down the door), and are strong enough for 2-3 to keep one of the kids art masterpieces in place. Definitely recommend spending a little more and getting something you won't hate looking at within 2 days.

Colourful, strong, yet safe magnets that my daughters have played with for hours. These feel a quality product and have withstood alot of use so far with no wear and tear markings, yet! The magnetic backs span the whole size of the letters so no risking of little magnets being swallowed (as can happen with cheaper magnetic letters) . The makers have even included more of the popular letters (e, a etc) but I would suggest to them to include more m's and d's as if like me you want to write mummy and daddy on your fridge you will need to use a w upside down for mummy and a p upside down for daddy as you only get 2 m's and 2 p's...

The children liked the colourful letters and have a lot of fun playing with them. Some letters such as j + i can not easily be recognized for it is hard to tell whether there's a dot on them. The colours are not dark enough to see the distance between the letter and the dot on top from a distance. For children who start to learn the letters it's quite difficult because they have to look very closely.

perfect for toddlers learning alphabets. the entire back of each piece is the magnet so it's very strong. the pattern is probably not the most useful for the young eyes to recognize the character but since this is not the only alphabet shapes they see, it is ok to have this variety which is quite fun really. highly recommend for magnet-obsessed toddlers. i ordered the cheaper wooden alphabet sets as well available on Amazon and i can say that this set is definitely worth the money for its quality.

Great quality but the box I received is missing the letter I. Not helpful when using to teach your child to spell their name and it includes the letter I!!!! Will be complaining. Dont need the hassle of returning as its a great quality item and looks lovely.

Great item for young children. Great quality . Great educational otem

Bought a load of these for our kid's magnetic easel. Kids and parents alike seem to love these characters. They're wooden, magnetic and the lettered ones are 'themed' to match the actual letter (a red letter 'L' with black polka dots must be 'ladybird'... right!?). Anyway, I can't recommended them highly enough. Better looking and appear more durable than those plastic ones. Our 2 year old niece always tries to swipe a few numbers and letters in her coat pockets when she visits so they're clearly desirable...!

Una muy buena manera de combinar el aprendizaje de mayúsculas y minúsculas. Agradables al tacto, ligeras y muy apreciadas por el niño, que dejó aparte otras que tiene de madera para ponerse a jugar con éstas en su pizarra magnética, a pesar de que le gustaba mucho repartir las de madera por la alfombra.

Lots of good features like below 1. They are not plain and have attractive colors and designs 2. Magnets are strong. No risk of magnets coming out 3. Multiple units of frequently used letters to enable kids to make words

Wir hatten diese Buchstaben bereits bei unserer Tochter benutzt. Sie hat damit sehr gern gespielt und leicht gelernt. Auch unser Sohn liebt diese Buchstaben! In der Packung sind genügend Buchstaben, um auch Wörter wie "Mama", "Papa" etc. zu legen. Etliche Buchstaben sind also doppelt. Die bunten Muster sind super! Sie bedeuten nicht immer den Anfangsbuchstaben von dem Bedeutungswort, aber bieten individuellen Erkennungswert. Die Magnete haften gut. Die Box ist hübsch u stabil, aber wir haben dazu eine praktische Holzschachtel mit Schiebe-Scheibe. Das find ich schade, dass dies hier nicht so ist.

Die Verarbeitung ist bestens, muss nichts nachgearbeitet werden. Die Magnete sind ordentlich und ganzflächig, löst sich auch nichts ab, wenn Kinderhände damit spielen. Da es Holz ist, sollten die Buchstaben vor Wasser geschützt werden (nicht zum Draußenspielen) gedacht. Da Kinder in diesem Alter erst Buchstabenwissen erwerben, war ich skeptisch, ob die Muster nicht vom Wesentlichen ablenken würden und einfarbige Buchstaben besser wären. Das bekommen die Kids aber, wenn man ihnen noch anderes Buchstabenmaterial in anderem Kontext gibt, ganz gut hin. Die Buchstaben sind zudem sehr dekorativ und halten auch einen (!) Notizzettel am Kühlschrank. Beim Kauf für Kinder im Leselernalter sei noch anzumerken, dass die Buchstaben der Schuldruckschrift entsprechen, z.b. das kleine A, das in adneren Parekten oft wie ein Computer-A geschrieben wird und von den Kindern dann gar nicht als solches wahrgenommen wird. Werde die Buchstaben noch einmal zum Verschenken kaufen.

Letras de alta calidad, en madera, colores vivos e imantados. Están en el frigorífico desde que se compraron cuando mi hijas tenía dos anos y jugaba a diario con ellos. Ahora tiene 4 y ya forma sus primeras palabras.
