What is National Alphabet Magnet Day?
On May 9th, beautiful letters and sophisticated words came together in a single celebration. National Alphabet Magnet Day honors the ingenuity and creativity of creating words from magnetic letters.
Have you ever spent the morning rearranging alphabet magnets on your fridge while sipping your cup of coffee? Perhaps your child sits at your feet, learning the alphabet while shuffling the letters, while shuffling the letters.
These vibrant classic letters have been around for 50 years, incredibly. Fisher-Price first introduced the School Days Desk in 1972. The small plastic case served both as storage and a desk. The chalkboard top, Beneath the chalkboard top, was covered with word cutouts and magnetic plastic letters, as well as magnetic plastic letters.
Magnetic chalkboards first appeared a decade ago. Plastic or wooden letters with magnets attached to the backs were included in the set. Around the same time, entrepreneur Samuel Hardcastle invented magnetic molded letters for use in the space industry.
These colorful magnetic letters made their way to our refrigerators following the introduction of the School Days Desk. They developed into a decorative way to leave short messages, experiment with wordplay, or wax poetic in the decades to come. National Alphabet Magnet Day honors this rich past and encourages you to be creative with magnetic letters.
