Literacy & Numeracy
by Curious Columbus
Magnetic letter and object play from Curious Columbus, with hand illustrated animals, objects, food and vehicles printed with their names.
Some days the animals end up together. Other days the vehicles get their own row, or the food pieces become the ones everyone talks about first. You might find your little one moving a picture, checking the name, then hunting for the letter again later. Without anyone making a big lesson of it, the same magnetic pieces can become part of those quick after-breakfast, before-dinner, come-and-see-what-I-made moments.

Buying guidance
Who this product is particularly well suited to.
Best for families who want early letter play to feel hands-on and familiar rather than worksheet-like. It suits homes where your little one is ready to explore letters through recognisable pictures, object names and pieces they can move and revisit during ordinary play.
Product overview
Children often make sense of words through the things they already know from home, books, snacks, animals and the world outside. This set gives those first links something they can touch and move. At first, your child may simply name the picture. Soon, they may notice the letter beside it. Before long, the printed word starts to feel connected too, and the same pieces come back out in a new way.
Product details
It gives your little one more than one way back in: naming the picture first, noticing the letter next, and returning to the word when they are ready.
That matters in real family use, where learning play is often packed away, found again, moved around and returned to across the week.
You are not relying on one fixed activity. The same set can be used for picture naming, letter matching and word noticing as your child keeps coming back.
