Literacy & Numeracy
by Curious Columbus
A–Z food picture magnets, from avocado to zucchini, paired with foam letters for hands-on alphabet play.
Some days the play starts because a food name comes up at lunch. Other days your little one brings one letter into the conversation and wonders what else starts that way. Over time, the magnets can become a familiar way to talk without turning it into a lesson: one food, one letter, then back to the rest of the day.

Buying guidance
Who this product is particularly well suited to.
Best for families who want letter play to sit inside ordinary food conversations — naming what is on the plate, wondering about food names, or coming back to the A–Z run when your child is in the mood to match and notice. It suits homes looking for hands-on literacy play that feels connected to real foods, rather than a workbook-style lesson.
Product overview
Children often make more sense of letters when they can tie them to things they already know. At first, your child may simply choose the food pictures they recognise. Soon, they start noticing that a food and a letter can belong together. Before long, the set becomes something they return to in different ways — a quick match here, a food name there, or the whole avocado-to-zucchini run when they want to see the alphabet laid out in front of them.
Product details
The same set can invite fresh little connections over time, rather than feeling finished after one go.
It keeps the build detail tied to real family use, where pieces are handled often.
The value is in how many different food-and-letter links the same set can invite across ordinary days.
