Friends of ours had these cool fridge magnets for their toddler; they were all alphabet shaped and when she pushed on them they said the name of the letter.

Has anyone seen anything similar or know where I could get them?

I think Leap Frog has something similar, I haven't seen them but someone else was telling me about them.

Just looked them up on IQ Toys website and they are Leap Frog Fridge Phonics $44

Is that what Mum2Paris has? Can you write (like Magna doodle) on it?

Yes i do, and nope you can't... lol

My girls love them, Ayja spends lots of time using them and so does bailey when he comes round (hence i am getting him a set for xmas)

They have been great with teaching them letter sounds and recognition, and now paris sits at the breakfast bar and when writing can have a quick look over and remember exactly how to form it.. i will say though that as we have the upper case ones (the first ones available) she is better in recognising upper case. So if getting them, go for the lower case ones.. at the end of the day it's more important to be able to recognise lower case.

We got ours from Kmart, but you can get them warehouse, farmers, toyworld.. lots of places.

- Ayja took paris's lead and at first we would show her the letters that started our names etc, M for mummy, D for Daddy, A for ayja and P for paris, and bit by bit she could point them out to us when asked and she went from there.

Totally recommend them

we got ours from farmers. Ella LOVES playing with them and they keep her entertained while I am in the kitchen. I think farmers have them on sale as well
