Educational Insights Color-Coded Lowercase AlphaMagnets, Set Of 42 ABC Magnets, Lowercase Magnetic Letters, Magnetic Alphabet, Ages 3+ Review

I like the distinction between vowels and consonants, consistency in length and width between letters, and I like the colors. However, I do not like the limited amount of magnets on each letter. If you look at the picture you will see that the vowels only have one magnet and the consonants have two magnets. Vowels slide easily on the board because of this.I would not recommend this product for those who teach online as they appear small on the board. Also I would not recommend this item for…

Before you buy please read the Pro's and Con's:Pro's: Great size, magnetics are good, I also like that the vowels are in red and consonants in blue. They came in a nice plastic container, another plus.Con's: Not enough letters. All vowels sounds in red come in 3, so do the "r, s" rest are 2's or 1's. So if you want this for a classroom or small group you will have to buy between 5-10 containers. Also will not work for word families, such as -in, en, (fin, bin, tin, pin, den, men…

These are great! I love that the vowels are a different color. My 4 year old son loves to play with them. A couple of days ago he was "reading” a bob book with my daughter. Afterward without any prompting on our part he went to the fridge and tried to spell sat. He didn’t get it right but I was so happy we had these out and he connected the concept of the letters making the words he had just read! I let him work at it for a bit and then I went and we found the s a t together. He asks me to show

What I love: vowels and consonants are color coded, the font is very legible, great sizeWhat I don't love: the container is really difficult to open, not all letters stay in the correct orientation when being used on an upright magnetic board- they either need more magnets or stronger onesOverall, they work great for the tutoring that I'm doing right now. I just use them on the table with the kiddos.

Letters are good, but I’d hoped to be able to use the containers in my classroom centers with them. The boxes are hard for me to open, and definitely no good for kindergarten kids. That’s wasteful in my opinion. If it weren’t for this, I’d give them five stars.

We love the letters, as it is hard to find magnetic lowercase letters. The container that they are in, however, is extremely difficult to open. I finally took them out and placed them into another plastic container.

These are very nice- all lowercase letters. My child needed these for quarantine schooling during covid. My only complaint is that the reusable container they come with is almost impossible to open. My child can’t open the container by himself and it’s hard for an adult to open it. A better design would much improve the packaging. But the letters themselves are great. They have strong enough magnets to stick. We just have to put them into a pencil box instead of the reusable box they come with.

I highly recommend that you buy these magnets. These magnets are perfect for building words during small group instruction. The magnets on the letters work very well, except on the letters a and o. These two letters don't stay on the board as well as the rest of the letters. Overall, this is an excellent product!

These are fine for us because we don’t use them as magnets. If you want to to use them on your fridge or a whiteboard, I would look else where. These slide sideways because there is only one small magnet on some of the letters.

I bought 6 sets for my classroom. 3 of the sets were complete, but 3 were missing letters. Some of the sets didn’t have 42 letters in them.

The thought of individual kits for my small groups was awesome. I decided to buy one set to try out before buying multiple sets for my students. I was not real impressed. The container is a little difficult to open and the magnets are not very strong. The size is great, but I think I will look elsewhere to get my magnets for my groups.

Great product! I use it with my 6 year old to practice spelling words and sight words! I love how the consonant and vowels are in different 2 different colors. it is a helpful visual for a beginning reader.

This set includes only one of some letters, which means you will want to purchase multiple sets if you will be spelling multiple words. Some letters only have one magnet and they are not very strong due to this. The "c” turns down on the magnet board. The only way to remedy this is to sandwich it between two other letters. The "c” design needs to be changed to include two magnets.

I love these magnetic letters that are lowercase to use to make words in my VIPKID classroom. I like the way the consonants are all the same color and the vowels are a different color.

At first I almost went with the multi-colored letters, but the fact this pack had the vowels and consonants color coded is what really sold me! I really like how these letters came in a sturdy container with extra space. I was hoping for more than the 42 letters-but the price was great so I just purchased multiple packs. I was then able to combine multiple packages into one container.

Needed these for remote learning and they just didn't work well. Magnets are not strong enough and the letters would often slide or rotate when I was trying to use them. Save your money and don't buy

Same as advertised! I'm pleased with this set of lowercase letters. I really liked the color distinction between vowels and consonants and my kids likes it too. In Spanish we only have 5 Vowels, so I like the idea I have extra Vowels if some of them disappear!

As stated in other reviews, the magnets are tiny and not very strong. My set included a missing magnet for 2 letters with only one loose magnet in the case that I will try to hot glue back onto one of the letters and will have to find a magnet from somewhere else to glue onto the second letter that is missing its magnet. Disappointed that I have to go to all of this trouble for a product that should be ready to go.

These AlphaMagnets are just what I needed. I received everything I was suppose to and they stick well. I like how the vowels are a different color. I also like the size of the letters. This is a good set for the price!

I like that they are lower case letters. Great for kindergartners learning to spell. I disliked that the magnet isn't strong enough to stick to magnetic wall.
