Educational Insights Color-Coded AlphaMagnets and MathMagnets, Ages 4 and up, (214 Pieces)

"Educational Insights Color-Coded Uppercase & Lowercase AlphaMagnets and MathMagnets, Set of 214 Letters, Numbers, Punctuation & Math Symbols"Product is as I expected. Good value, I think.--I didn't want "foam" letters, as I will be using these with African children in a small village, and I doubt foam letters would be as durable and stay clean.--I wanted vowels in one color, consonants in another, to help teach the difference. I did not want random colors for each letter. There is no reason for that; it just adds confusion to the learning process. But related to this, I had to chuckle at one of the pictures in the ad. It depicts the five uppercase vowels. The A, E and U are red, which is correct. But the I and O are blue. That is strange, since the set has all vowels red, all consonants blue. It turns out the I and O they used for the photo are the lower case L and the zero digit, respectively. Oops. Could be confusing to someone trying to decide whether to buy.--The ad claims "stronger magnets than other" such products. Some reviews complain about the weak magnets. But that is probably an issue with many such products. Most pieces have two very small magnets, some only one. Of course if your metal board is heavier, they will stick better than if it is very thin. I plan to add magnets to the letters that don't stick well.--The ad mentions punctuation is included, but the only punctuation my set came with is 4 question marks.--Set contains:2 of each upper case letter5 of each lower case vowel6 of each lower case b, l, m, r, s, t3 of each other consonant4 of each numeral4 + signs (which can be used as multiplication signs)4 - signs (which can be used as division signs, i.e. \)4 = signsAll vowels are redAll consonants are blueAll numerals are blueAll math signs are redQuestion marks are red

Tiene muchas letras, números y signos . Mi único 'pero' es que algunas letras (por ejemplo las "e" ) no tiene suficientes imanes y se caen. Fuera de eso buen empaque y muy útil para repasar el alfabeto y los números.

I like this set a lot. The letter distribution ( see image) is great. The font is kid-appropriate. Most letters are distinct. The lowercase d and p are the same, the 6 and 9 are the same, the i and exclamation point are the same. Lowercase n and u are the same except for colour, as are lowercase l and the minus sign.Being really picky, I would have liked one more lowercase n.On a cookie sheet in "landscape" orientation, I can fit 5 rows of text comfortably.

Helps me in literacy work with my kids, love that it is colour-coded :) Wish the magnets were stronger, but it still sticks :)

Buen material, resistente, se adhieren super bien y de buen tamaño, se que durarán mucho!
