Q: Specifically, are the sheet magnets on the back of these non-toxic to a child if he puts them in his mouth?

submitted by Oster Classic - 2 years ago
  • A: Hi! While the magnets are safe, we do not recommend that they be mouthed. Your Friends at Melissa & Doug

Q: Is the toy non toxic? They are easy for toddler to chew on and and get pieces in their mouth, picture of animal and part of the magnet, on back.

submitted by Boymomblue - 2 years ago
  • A: Hi! All of our toys are put through a rigorous and stringent testing procedure to ensure its safety. Your Friends at Melissa & Doug

    submitted byManufacturer - 2 years ago

Q: Are there visible magnets on the back of the animals? What does the back of the animal look like?

submitted by Magnets - 4 years ago
  • A: The magnets are thin black sheet magnets that cover the entire back of the animal

    submitted byManufacturer - 4 years ago

Q: Are these big enough to not be a choking hazzard? Some look kind of small in the photo like the pig chicken and turtle?

submitted by Ccc - 5 years ago
  • A: I read somewhere it's due to the fact that the magnets could come off and be swallowed

    submitted byAnnette - 5 years ago

Q: Does this one include magnet board? Or only magnet animals pieces?

submitted by - 6 years ago
  • A: Hi! We make several activities that include a magnetic surface but our Animal Magnets Set does not include a board. The magnets are prepared to be attracted to any magnetic surface you may have in your home.

I bought this as a gift for one year-old. I thought it would be fun for her to put things on the fridge while her mother cooks. Something to keep her busy.

Not teething friendly

These are definitely not designed with the teething toddler in mind. My daughter is mostly done with teething but she does still like to put things with her mouth and the pictures have come off almost all of them.

A Good Buy

This set has a variety of animals, pets, those found in the Savanna or Zoo and out on the farm. The prints are bright and I will only buy magnets that can’t be easily removed and swallowed! The back of these are sheet magnets and perfect!

Not satisfied

Not satisfied at all. After less than a week of usage by my 20 month old nephew the magnets came apart, separated from the picture. Had to get rid of a lot of the magnets. Will never purchase again.

Fun and entertaining!

Random purchase ended up being a great thing. And it’s fun to see how many animals they truly know! Great for motor skills to put on and off fridge, As well as creativity with the different animals

Good quality

Very good brand, I always trust them and check them first, if I need anything for my kids. I bought it to use with the magnetic board on the wall. Keeps the floor of the playroom clean.

Pictures peels off!

When I opened it a few of the magnets had the animals peeled off already. Then, more animals peels off after a few minutes when my son started to play with it.

Entertaining

Great! My daughter loves to go to the kitchen to play with these magnets. Right now all she does it take them off and throw them on the floor since she’s 7 months but she really likes them.

Fun addition for her magnetic boards

We bought for our daughter to use on her magnetic board and it keeps her highly entertained at 9 months. I have a feeling she will be entertained by these through her toddler years.

Great gift!

I bought these as a gift for my niece’s 1st birthday. They are larger magnets (some are smaller, but those I kept for when she is older). She is able to take them off the refrigerator and put them back on. She loves them so much!
