Melissa & Doug National Parks Wooden Picture Matching Magnetic Game Kids Animal Magnets Activity for Boys and Girls Ages 3+ - FSC-Certified Materials

Wow. This is an awesome introduction to 4 US National Parks through a child's natural interest in animals. If your kids loves animals as most kids do, this would be a very engaging activity for them. And what kid doesn't like magnets? Combines all these features in a quality Melissa and Doug activity! We got this set to take on our visits to our grandchildren's houses and when they outgrow it, we will donate it to a classroom or one of the Sensory Rooms we have been privileged to help create, if we end up not keeping it ourselves. Maybe they will never outgrow this activity as I can see it even becoming a game for any age to see who can be the first to fill up their card with the matching animals magnets! Might just have to purchase other sets to give away! This is an excellent set, though with much smaller children it might be advisable to sort the animal magnets ahead of time and bag them as sets when playing with a younger child as the number of animal magnets might be overwhelming to have to sort through all four sets if put out altogether! Then it can be a matching game for them to find the same shape on their card, and you can do just one card at a time with one bag of animal magnets. Then, graduate to mixing two bags of animal magnets to match up to two cards, and gradually work your way up to mixing in all four sets when the child seems ready. But other than that it is an excellent activity, extremely well made, looks like a lot of fun, and a great intro to 4 US National Parks and a myriad of interesting Park wildlife! An awesome gift idea! I would purchase this again in a heartbeat and will keep it in my memory bank for future gift ideas, should I ever need one!

I really love their magnet sets. This is a second set I bought aside from the first one being more a general animal collection. My daughter from 2T to now 3T is still loving these. The magnets hold up well as does the pictures. It’s honestly fun because she’s able to interact with the magnets than just pointing to a book or on the tv. She does her play pretend on the magnets or she’ll even play a game with us where we say what animal is what…which just reinforces learning even more without the intention of doing so. Such a win for families. Will end up buying more from any other collections they have.

My grandson and I love this magnetic wooden picture matching set. We play with it over and over again, he loves it. The set is well made and the whole thing is contained in its own wooden box.

My two year loves these and they have given him hours of play. HOWEVER, 3 of the magnets fell out the first time he played with them. Luckily, I was playing with him and was able to throw them away, but these are very small magnets and could pose a danger to a child or pet should they be swallowed. I was unable to get the magnets back into the holes of the wooden pieces to reglue them.

This is the coolest kids toy I've ever bought my son! If you love nature and want to foster that with your child, this is a 10/10 starting point!
