Full details
The Simba Art & Fun Magnetic Capital Letters are designed for young children beginning their journey into literacy and word recognition.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the recommended age for this product?
These magnets are designed for children learning the alphabet, but due to their size, they are not suitable for children under 3 years old without strict adult supervision.
Are these letters lowercase?
No, this specific set includes 31 capital letters only.
Will these work on a glass magnetic board?
Performance on glass magnetic boards depends on the strength of the board's internal metal backing. These work best on traditional steel or iron surfaces.
How many letters are in the package?
The set contains 31 individual magnetic capital letters.
Can I use these for teaching phonics?
Yes, you can arrange the letters to demonstrate letter sounds and build simple words to support phonics development.
Troubleshooting
Magnets sliding or falling off the surface
Ensure the surface is not covered in dust or grease. If the surface is non-magnetic or weak, relocate to a stronger metallic surface like a whiteboard.
Magnet detaching from the plastic letter
Use a small amount of non-toxic, child-safe strong adhesive to reattach the magnet to the rear of the plastic piece.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, simply unpack the magnets and ensure you have a dedicated, clean magnetic surface ready for your child to use. These magnets are compatible with most standard magnetic whiteboards, notice boards, and standard household refrigerators. To maintain their appearance, keep the letters clean by wiping them with a slightly damp cloth if they accumulate dust or sticky residues. Avoid soaking them in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this may compromise the adhesive holding the magnets to the plastic letters. Store them in a small container or bag when not in use to prevent losing individual letters.
