They're okay I think I prefer the plastic ones too the wooden ones.Be careful where you place them- my 10 month old managed to fit the "three" sideways in his mouth. They are too large to swallow whole, and they are too durable for him to break- but I did move all the "ones/1" up really high because I was afraid he may be able to swallow those at the right angle. I would wait until your kid is past the putting everything in his mouth stage to let them play with them.they're more for playing and don't hold things up really well- pictures, cards, groceries lists, small paper they all fall when I try to use these magenta for that. They're more for playing and learning than functional magnets.Bright colors, fun, and we will probably eventually use them to help him with counting but right now they're just kind of hanging out really high up on the fridge.
