We love the Melissa and Doug magnetic letters. We have a couple other set, but these are our favorite.
Some of the reasons why we love them:
- They come in upper case and lower case.
- The upper case and lower case are of a matching color.
- When you put the letters in alphabetical order, the colors of the letters make a pattern.
- They are easily traceable to make this activity.
- They are a good size.
- They feel nice in your hands as they have a good weight and smooth finish.
- Their flatness (as opposed to the Leapfrog set) made them work really well for the alpha sort.

ReplyDeleteWhat are the size of these letters? I had a relative tell me she wanted to buy stuff at the brick and mortar store so went to Toys R us and bought the chalkboard/magnetic board with letters instead because the letters should be the same size (?) so I'd like to know.
ReplyDelete(Yes, this set does not have lower case.She bought a different set of Imaginarium's magnetic alphabet to get the lower case...)
