It helps to match the set to how you’ll use it. Consider:

• Material: Foam and plastic are lightweight and colorful; wood feels sturdy. Pick what suits your space and durability needs.
• Piece count: Sets vary—some include 0–9 multiples, 1–10, 1–31 for calendars, and math symbols.
• Size & thickness: Larger, thicker pieces are easier for small hands and easier to see from a distance.
• Magnet coverage: Full-back magnets can offer a more uniform hold on fridges and boards.
• Surface fit: Many are made for fridges, whiteboards, lockers, and other metal surfaces.
• Storage: A box or pouch can make cleanup simpler.

Check product photos, piece lists, and reviews on the item page, then choose delivery or pickup options shown at checkout.

It depends on the set. On this page, you’ll find options that:

• Numbers only: Packs focused on 0–9 or 1–10 for basic counting and number recognition.
• Numbers + symbols: Many include plus, minus, equals, and other symbols for early math practice.
• Calendar numbers: Some sets feature 1–31 for calendars and date boards.

Tip: Check the piece list and product images to see exactly what’s included and how many of each character you get. If you’re planning activities like simple equations, look for sets that clearly show symbols in the photos or description. You can also use filters and compare listings to find the best match for your learning goals.

Most magnetic numbers are designed for metal surfaces such as:

• Refrigerators: A popular spot for everyday practice and reminders.
• Magnetic whiteboards: Great for classroom or home learning stations.
• Lockers and metal boards: Handy for organizing and quick math games.

They won’t adhere to non-metal surfaces like wood, walls, or glass. Hold can vary by the magnet size/coverage and the surface’s finish. Heavier wooden pieces may need a smoother, more receptive metal surface. If a front panel doesn’t attract magnets, try the side of the appliance or a dedicated magnetic board. Wiping the surface clean before use can also help improve grip.

Safety starts with choosing a set that matches the listed age rating on the product page. Many magnetic numbers are labeled for ages 3+ due to small parts.

• Supervision: Keep an eye on younger learners and discourage putting pieces in mouths.
• Inspect pieces: If any layers loosen or magnets are exposed, set them aside and avoid use.
• Size & edges: Larger pieces with smooth edges can be easier for small hands to handle.
• Classroom tips: Use a defined play area and store sets in a closed bin when not in use.

For the best fit, review each item’s descriptions and care notes before adding to your cart.

If your order arrives incomplete or damaged, you can:

• Check the listing: Confirm the advertised piece count and what’s included.
• Use your account: Start a return or replacement request from your Walmart order history within the stated return window.
• Marketplace items: Contact the seller through your order details for help; responses and options may vary by seller.

For spares or extras, consider ordering an additional set that matches your current size, material, and style so everything looks consistent. Availability of add-on packs can vary by item, so reviewing product descriptions and photos is a good step before you reorder.
