They are not water safe, meaning no chewing and no washing (even with a damp rag I would be worried). The colorful tops are just a layer of coated paper, but after a quick washing to get the extra flecks of magnet and wood off them, the paper started to peel up. I glued them back down, only one got ripped but now I know, no washing or chewing. Meaning they can only be used with close supervision of a one year one. Annoying but not impossible.
Also the letter C and I are too small, I consider them a choking hazard at this age. Not a problem for now we just have his name on the fridge, its enough easier to keep track of.
Would I buy again? Maybe. They are made in china, boo. But they are wooden (pressed) and not from M&D (yeah!). I would probably try to find something more waterproof (design painted on instead of paper) first, but if I was unsuccessful I very well may buy again.

I am very impressed with the quality of this product! very cute colors & design. They are a good size with a strong magnetic back that is the size of the whole letter. I specially like how eco friendly they are as well!I had been searching for a good wooden magnetic set that is SAFE and these are it! I recommend ordering 2 sets so you can have doubles of every letter vs just the extra few they give you of certain letters.
These magnets look great on my fridge. As far as the other reviewer's comment regarding the product not being water proof/drool proof because of the paperI figure if and when the paper wears off it'll be a fun project for my LO & I to paint these wooden numbers with non-toxic paint. But I don't see that happening in the near future. They seem very well made and sturdy and it's very difficult to even tell there is paper on them instead of paint. Great alternative to the ugly cheap plastic magnets that are no good for our babies nor the environment!
I am very pleased and recommend this set to everyone. For this price, these are a steal in my opinion. Rest assured you are getting a great product.
