Q: Are there visible magnets on the back of the animals? What does the back of the animal look like?
submitted by Magnets - 1 year ago
A:Â The magnets are thin black sheet magnets that cover the entire back of the animal
submitted byManufacturer - 1 year 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 - 3 years ago
A:Â I read somewhere it's due to the fact that the magnets could come off and be swallowed

Q: Does this one include magnet board? Or only magnet animals pieces?
submitted by - 3 years ago
A:Â 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 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!
Cute magnets!

This keeps my son busy when I’m cooking in the kitchen. All the magnets are a decent size so they don’t pose as a choking hazard. The only thing I didn’t like was that there’s no lid for the storage box.
Perfect for my littles!

Becky - 8 months ago, Verified purchaser
These are cute little magnets but the animals are printed on paper stickers which means they get ruined quickly if they get wet. Not great if your kid is in the puts-everything-in-mouth stage or if you're planning on using them in the kitchen where they might get wet. I do like that the magnet backing is the entire back as opposed to a button magnet which would be dangerous for little ones.

These are super adorable and my son loves playing with them on the fridge. Unfortunately they are a very poor quality. It is a sticker on top of a layered wood on top of a thin magnet. If they get wet for any reason (even to clean off) they start peeling away layer by layer. I even received two in the box freshly opened and they were detached from the magnet.

It’s a very Cute set, but the front separated from the magnetic backing within minutes. We have had it only a few days and about half have already separated. We can super glue it back together and still use it but I would not purchase it again.

These magnets are great for my one year old, I really liked the selection of animals, but some were too small for the little one.
Great for animal recognition

Target mom - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
I love using these for animal recognition and sounds for my twins. There are a few things I would change. I wish the the animal images were a different material. They are paper so if your child mouths at all or these get wet they will get messed up quickly. Also, I love that it comes with a wood box although I wish there was a lit for the container.
Good magnets for toddler

My son was 18+ months whe we purchased these magnets. He was able to identify the animals well have held up well after a lot of play and some biting along the way. They are one of his favorites. They are big enough that they don't fit in his mouth yet easy for him to handle. I would love to have more animals and shapes in this form.
