I bought these for my (then) 15 Month old daughter to entertain her in the kitchen on the fridges. Its one of those simple toys that I guess makes you think back to your old childhood - no microchips, noises or charging required. They were exactly what I was looking for - basic well drawn animals ranging in size from (approx) 10cm x 10 cm for the elephant, through to the smaller animals at 2cm x 3 cm (Duck) They have provided many hours (more like days) of fun for her - from learning what animals are called an identifying them, through to animal noises. Kids do like magnets (the joy of sticking things onto the bare white fridge) and she was often content just moving them around. So they have certainly educated her as I hoped they would. For value for money, I was very pleased with this pack. It contains a good mix of animals, domestic (cats, dog, rabbit) farm (cows, sheep, pigs) through to zoo (Giraffe, lion) A few months on and all are still as good as new. I'm even considering a second pack for her to play "snap" with them. So I would recommend these highly as a durable and fun educational tool.

Well packaged. Detailed bright pictures. Ideal size for young children. Stick well on a magnetic board. Fun for a toddler to play with indepently or to use for story telling. Value for money.

I bought the animal set for my 15-month-old daughter to occupy her for short blocks of time and she not only loves these animals but has learnt to identify them already. They’re also sturdy and withstand being thrown around and bitten so really impressed with the quality of this product.

There are 20 magnetic-backed wooden painted animals in this set - 7 wild animals and 10 farm animals, also a frog, fish and turtle. Our 2 year old grandson loves them and we really like the fact that they are all quite easily recognised animals so he is learning all the names and the sounds they make, and we take it in turns to take animals away and guess who is hiding. The magnetic back is flat so there is nothing that can become detached. The animals are both colourful and realistic, and they are a perfect size for small hands - not too small. They work well on our magnetic/dry wipe board (see photo) and also on the fridge etc.The set is good value for the price but there are two ways it could be improved - first there is no lid for the wooden box which is a pity. Second, if the figures had been made with straight rather than curvy bases you could also use them to make freestanding set ups in addition to use on magnet boards.

My little one loves magnets and spends ages playing with the magnets on her great-grandma's fridge every time we visit so I decided to buy her some of her own. This set is lovely - it's a well made wooden set with the magnet covering the whole of the back of each piece so no worries about small magnets falling off and being put into mouths. It has a good selection of different animals and my daughter has enjoyed naming them. They're a good size for her little hands to manage and have certainly had my money's worth out of them so far. Only slight issue is that the little wooden box that they come in doesn't have a lid on so might not be great to store them in - not an issue for us though as the magnets live on our freezer so we don't use the box for storage. An excellent purchase!

Bought for son to play with on the fridge. Thick and images are clear and detailed. All love them, great for learning

These are a perfect addition to the huge blackboard we have, my youngest who is 2, loves them. Colours are bright, letters are sturdy and are a nice size. If I had to be really picky, I'd wish that there were 2 sets of each - Two sets of the capital letters and two sets of lower case. This would be of more help when learning to spell, but I will purchase another couple of boxes for that.The little wooden box is also perfect to keep our chalks in. Really pleased with them, outstanding for £6!

Bought these fridge magnets to distract my granddaughter whilst I’m doing jobs in the kitchen.They keep her amused for ages. She loves them!Good magnetic stick. Not flimsy. She started playing with these when she was 11 months sat in front of the fridge. Now she’s walking she stands up and plays just as long arranging them all over the fridge doors , mimicking the animal voices as she picks them off and sticks them back to the fridge door.Very pleased with this buy.
