When is National Alphabet Magnet Day?
Tuesday May 9thOn May 9th, beautiful letters and sophisticated words came together in a single celebration. The invention and ingenuity of making words from magnetic letters are recognized on National Alphabet Magnet Day..
When sipping your cup of coffee, have you ever spent the morning rearranging the alphabet magnets on your fridge? Hopefully, your child is sitting at your feet, learning the alphabet while shuffling the letters.
Incredibly, these vibrant classic letters have been around for 50 years. The School Days Desk was first introduced by Fisher-Price in 1972. The small plastic case served dual purposes as both storage and a desk. The chalkboard top, Beneath's chalkboard top, was covered with word cutouts and magnetic plastic letters, as well as magnetic plastic letters.
Magnetic chalkboards were first introduced a decade ago. The sets came with plastic or wooden letters with magnets attached to the backs, and plastic or wooden letters were also available. Inventor Samuel Hardcastle created magnetic molded letters for use in the space industry around the same time.
These colorful magnetic letters made their way into 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...
