|great magnets but board is not so great,
First, the animal pieces are completely covered with magnetic backing, not just little glued on magnets which I was afraid of. My son puts them in his mouth a little but I do think they are a real hazard, but he is 20 months old so I tell him not to. You get 30 or so pieces ranging from 1 square inch to about 8 square inches, very cute animals. I thought they would be nice to play with on the fridge and they are. My son likes to try to stick them to all metal objects. And non-metal ones and I get to try to teach him about magnets that way. The problem I have is the board itself. It is a wooden frame with a metal, whiteboard back and a slot in the top that accepts one of three cardboard-cardstock pictures with the scenes on them. The farm one was fine because it came in the frame. The others were warped because they were shipped in the bag and not in the frame. The magnets are not that strong (which I suppose is good in case a piece gets eaten) so the warped picture would not let the magnets make enough contact with the board underneath and so the magnets did not stay in place in a vertical position. Also, my 20 month old, after seeing me change the pictures, decided he would tear at it until one ripped. So I have just put the board and scenes away and let him play with the animals themselves on the fridge and floor. I have also put away the smallest of the pieces for fear of choking but that leaves plenty. In fact, I will just rotate the ones I want him to play with and there are lots. He likes picking the pieces up and we name the objects, which are again very cute and well made. Even though the board is not great for us now, it may prove its use later. For now, the animals alone are worth what I paid.

|Travel magnetic toy,
These magnets are a great way to entertain a little one while on the road. It is a little heavy since it’s wood. Any child who likes animals will enjoy this item.
