Lauri Foam Magnets - Objects

This are colorful magnets for playing and for educational use. There are 60! magnets so we can rotate them and the kids do not get bored. Approx. 13/4" tall High quality toys and games Products that are great fun from children to adults 13/4" tall For ages 3 and up I have been looking for something like this for a while now and decided to try them out. These …. are spectacular! I must admit I was not so sure they would be fun but my twins just love them! I bought these magnets for my 30 month old to use on a magnet board in our hallway. I chose these because 1) the magnet is all one piece on the back, not little strips or pieces that can come off and be eaten, 2) they are foam, not wood with paint, 3) they're not so small that I have to worry about my daughter swallowing them. The set has 60 magnets, but I didn't give them all to her at once. Some of the smaller, narrower ones (a key, a feather) I kept in the tub, but there are lots of good animal ones (cow, chicken, cat, rabbit, dog, ect.) and every day objects (block, blanket, doll, house, star, ball, ect.) that I put out for her to play with. They keep her occupied and when she holds one out I tell her what it is. She has put them in her mouth a few times, but I discourage her from doing so when I see her. The tub is great to hold the extras that she's not playing with, and the magnets are strong, durable, and safe for little ones. I really like these magnets and wish there were more sets similar to this by the same company, because I would definitely buy them! Very satisfied with the shipping, as well, I got it very fast and the packaging was great! Everything arrived unopened, clean and not damaged!

PERFECT!!! Finding learning devices for my two year old can be a chore sometimes because he has a younger brother who just loves to chew on EVERYthing. Well, that's to be expected since he's teething. So, when I found these, I immediately jumped on ordering them for multiple reasons. 1) They consist of a variety of different objects. Some that my two year old doesn't know quite yet so he gets to learn something new. 2) They are foam! I have had bad luck with magnets of the "reinforced cardboard" type. His younger brother can grab these and gnaw to his heart's delight and they remain intact which leads me to... 3) The magnet covers the whole back. It's thin magnetic backing instead of a some tiny nubby square or circle being glued onto the back. It pretty much eliminates that particular choking danger. Obviously, kids being kids, you should ALWAYS keep an eye on them because god knows what they're going to try to shove up their nose or what new object they think might taste good - but the backing on these has not worn off, peeled off, or come apart as of yet and my boys have been playing with/chewing on them for about two months now. Lastly, if your tub is of metal making, they can play with them during bath time. It's a great distraction from when I'm trying to get behind their ears. :-) I highly recommend this - they work on the fridge, your filing cabinet, a kid's magnetic board, the bath tub - they'll even just line them up on the floor. Great learning toy that has withstood the destructive hands of children.

I bought these magnets for my 21 month old to play with on a long plane flight (I bought a little metal serving tray at the dollar store for him to play with them on) He played for about 20 min straight with them on the plane (I was shocked!) and then kept pulling them out of the bag at the hotel to play with! They are an excellent quality. He had them in his mouth all the time and you can't even see bite marks on them! The assortment of pictures is great. I pulled out all the pictures for words that he is familiar with and a few new ones that are easy to say and there was only about 5 left in the can that I didn't use! It is a huge set too. This is a great way to help your child build their language. He got so excited when we would say the word and he would pick the right magnet and also just had fun playing with them on his own. I would buy this again and would love to try out some of the other magnet sets they have. I have no doubt that this set will make it through our next son as well and the best part------ There is no chance that any magnet part will fall out (like some of those cheap plastic letter magnets) This is a durable foam with a solid "soft" magnet that covers then entire back. The magnets are large enough that I have no concern that my son will swallow one (and they are always in his mouth-just like everything else!)

I bought this for my 1.5 yr old son. I noticed him playing with fridge magnets at other people's houses and thought it'd be a good way to distract him when I'm cooking. These magnets are perfect. They're about 1/2" thick so he can easily hold them and get them on and off the fridge. They're soft and he likes squeezing them but so far hasn't done any damage to them other than minor wrinkling from all the squeezing. We've had them for about 2 months and so far they are holding up perfectly well (no peeling ink or anything). The set is very diverse but relatively basic in the type of objects represented so it's perfect for toddlers- the drawings are mostly things they've seen in books already (cats, dogs, cows, trees, kites, etc.) so they're familiar, but there are also things that are less common for children's picture books but still every day things to learn, such as the bald eagle, acorn, house, clock. There are a lot of magnets in the set- I think 60- which is a ton for one fridge, so I have only taken out a selection of maybe 15 for now and plan to rotate them once he loses interest. I think the set will grow really well with him- right now I use it to teach him vocabulary, but once he's mastered names for things it will be easy to make up new games with these: grouping by categories, alphabet games. The selection and variety of objects is really just perfect in my opinion- you could really work a lot of angles for entertainment and learning with these. I plan to get more sets for gifts. Oh and one last thing I like: they come in a plastic tub with a screw on cap. I love that it's a reusable, durable container. I just screwed the cap back on after picking out a few and put the jar on top of the fridge. I feel like usually toy packaging isn't so considerate for the long haul- cheap, flimsy plastic that's only good for pre-use storage. I appreciate that I didn't have to find a new place to keep the extra magnets we aren't using yet.

Big bottle of interesting magnets with different, colorful images to attract little kids. My 18 month old loves to play with these and loves to name the different images. I keep about 2/3 of them in the jar hidden in a cupboard and periodically cycle them out so that she doesn't get bored. Technically, the alphabet is represented in this jar, with one magnet per letter, but we haven't gotten to that point yet. It says not to let babies chew on them, but really, can you stop babies from chewing on things? My daughter has bitten down pretty hard on them and they haven't fallen apart yet. The foam seems pretty sturdy. The images are bright and haven't faded even with repeated chewing and handling. The entire back of each foam piece is a magnet, so no tiny magnets to fall out and get swallowed, which was one of my magnet-buying criteria.

I got these for my 2 year old's magnetic easel to work on expanding her vocabulary and to give her more soft foam magnets to play with besides her letters and numbers. I am extremely happy with these! They work great on the easel as well as the refrigerator and they are very bright, colorful, and engaging. You get 60 magnets in the set with at least 2 objects per letter, some of which include ball, pizza, drum, grapes, cow, fish, bunny, clock, and tree. The plastic container is great for storing the magnets and making sure you don't lose them. Before I bought these, I read the reviews and some people said they were just stickers on the magnets, but to me, they appear to be fused on and haven't started peeling at all. I also don't worry about the magnets falling off the back and being choking hazards like I did with the other cheap plastic magnets. Another thing I love about these is that there is such a variety of educational activities that you can do with your child, such as common object recognition, categorization (animals, food, outdoor items,etc), and you can make an interactive story out of them. You can also do color recognition on the objects. My daughter loves these and plays with them often! As much as we love these, I'm giving them four stars because they are very expensive and also when you open the container, there is an odd chemical smell, but I remedied that by just leaving the top off the container and letting them air out. Highly recommended learning tool!

I love these magnets. They are fully magnetized - not a little spot of magnet on the back, but a full-size magnetic back that means it sticks hard to whatever surface you put it on. The colors are bright and engaging, and the designs are fun. They're great for a little one who is just learning how to name objects, but they're also good as the child gets older and wants to create little storylines about the objects. It's also a great "which one of these doesn't fit" kind of game, where you can combine several of the magnets and ask the child which ones doesn't belong. We're constantly finding new uses for these, and I'm sure they will be well-loved. So far they are quite durable, with very little wear and tear even though our son has been playing with them almost daily for the past few months. I'd buy them again!

We have 2.5 y.o. twins and constantly looking for creative ways to educate them. So, our kids are now into: - Puzzles - Stickers - Magnets Each type of activity has plus and minus, but all allow kids to learn very well Animals, Shapes, Colors, etc. Very effective. We started with Puzzles, as kids loved them for a while (paper / wood / foam puzzles). Moved to Stickers (nice, but kids tend to tear them - so "reusable" stickers are questionable.. stickers end fast). Newest idea is Magnets. I had Magnetic Alphabet, which kids loved, so figured let's try other Magnetic things. Magnets are great for many reasons: sturdy, reusable, easy to handle for kids. You just need magnetic stand/board. So we got 4 types of Magnet games: 1) Lewo Farm - Lewo Farm Magnetic Board Games Double-face Drawing Board Wooden Education Toys for Kids Dry Erase Board Jigsaw Puzzle Games 2) Melissa & Doug Wooden Magnets Bundle - Shapes and Farm - Melissa & Doug Wooden Magnets Bundle - Shapes and Farm 3) Melissa & Doug 20 Animal Magnets in a Box - Melissa & Doug 20 Animal Magnets in a Box 4) Foam Magnets - Objects - Foam Magnets - Objects I have to admit, that my personal favorite and kids favorite - #4 Foam Magnets - Objects - Foam Magnets - Objects . Nothing not to love about them (quantity, quality, price). Convenient storage plastic jar! Melissa & Doug would be my next choice - sturdy wooden magnets, but pictures look more complex and I don't like that the box doesn't have cover (how stupid). Now, back to Foam Magnets - Objects - Foam Magnets - Objects . PROs. I like Price, Quality, Quantity. This is an awesome set. CONs - PIECES. I would recommend removing few pieces from this set - non-basic, unnecessary, confusing. So as an adult, go through all the objects and set aside what you don't think is important/needed. WISH. I wish there was even more! I would buy additional sets - maybe shapes, colors, and theme-related magnets! Overall, kids are very excited about magnets, so much that we are getting 2 boards and hanging them on walls for them (for magnets and to draw). I think it's an awesome way for kids to learn and have fun. Who needs blank walls! We are getting these boards - Master of Boards® Drywipe Magnetic Whiteboard - 36" x 24" | Includes Aluminum Frame and Pen Tray
