Do the letters and numbers pop out of the tiles? I saw other brands of play mats that do and I'm actually hoping these do not.

Yes the letters and numbers do come out so it can be a learning puzzle as well as a mat.
1822959
Yes they do. There are some small pieces that may be small enough to be hazardous.

They don't easily come off but they do coz my daughter love to take it off from the tile

To elaborate on Wesley Wong's post, the small icons are on the front of the tiles, not on the gray backside. The backsides are also not different shades of gray (at least as far as I can tell), and so putting the tiles in a small bag to draw from during play isn't necessary. This also makes it very easy to separate out the expansion tiles after the game is over, because the icons are all 'face-up' on the table. In my opinion, it is a very intuitive and well-planned system.

There are certain pieces that are made specifically with notches to make the cars displayed on the box. They have special magnets that attach to the wheel base. The tiles in question can still attach to the others in the set but they are not as strong. My kids are still young and have not yet figured out how to build the cars on the box. They use those tiles along with the others for building projects.

If u put some slip resistant mats underneath, it doesn't move much side to side. The spikes are barely needed IMO. We have 2" wrestling mats placed at the bottom of the slide and around the perimeter to the side entrance to add extra cushion for falls and to help keep their socks from getting filthy. I have a very large foyer with 20" ceilings and have allowed the kids to set it up inside with the mats a few times on very cold or rainy days when they needed to get rid of their wiggles thru physical play. I place a few mats underneath and surround the perimeter and it barely moves on slippery hardwood floors. If u put some slip resistant mats underneath, it doesn't move much side to side.

My two mats hold well, but then they are against the toe-kick under the counter on one side which helps keep them in place. I have never had any problem with them sliding either way, and I have porcelain tile floors.

Yes they do. One problem the toy has is that together with the sound effect you'll hear the sound of plastic hitting plastic. The end of the sticks have a hard rubber padding, probably meant to reduce this sound, but it doesn't seem to work well. I'm actually thinking of some way to cover the end of the sticks with some sort of foam-like material, like those that come with ear buds. Still not a deal breaker... my son has a great time playing the drums!!

It has been quite a long time since purchase. I have other marbles as well so I just added to the jar. My grandson (age 4) and I play "marbles". I must have been happy with them and if I was not I would have complained to the seller. My purchase goal was to increase the variety of colors and textures and it did help to do that. I hope this helps you.

No problem with them curling up! I haven't had them quite so long but so far, so good. I always make sure I step completely on the mat- so not to "kick" the edges. I can't figure out WHY they are curling. I absolutely LOVE mine.

I would say, "No" - but I'm overly cautious. We have hard floors too, so I put some of those play mats underneath for extra padding.

No, but the stuff they sent with the mats stops them from moving. Very happy with the ones I have

Yes they do! I use half the tiles on my deck, and have left them out in the rain and the blazing heat, without a problem. They do wear well. Just be careful, if it is too hot, the mats can get warm, not overly hot, but warm, and if your child is sensitive....just be cautious. I love the mats and they do a great job, indoor and out!

I have these and I have them on my 4" ceramic tiles and they stick like gorilla glue! Once you lift up on the levers, it'll be easy to remove and move with you if you move but mine are stuck there tight as long as I leave the levers down. I would say it'll be perfect for your son!

Hi, June! My project was delayed, so tiles are still in bags. I just checked, and yes, the letters and the little numbers are both very slightly indented into the wood.

Yes, these tiles are the same sizes as the other sets my friends bring when we get together to play. Same size, same characters on tiles. My set came with tile racks with pushers, some do not.

Yes, they will move. I would recommend getting larger squares if you're exercising on them. I love this product for my son's playroom.

They don't work with Magna-tiles brand tiles. These tiles are a little bit smaller than the Magna-tiles (if you compare squares to squares).

No it does not. It is just the tile (which we used for a craft project) they are the newer version of tiles (bold, block letters) not the "vintage" tiles like the Scrabble game we've had for years
