Earlier on this list there were letter blocks. Now here come the letter magnets.  This is higher up because I remember playing with these more than the blocks.  For some reason, letters fascinated me.  I even remember assigning gender and personality to certain letters.  I remember reading over and over an Electric Company book where some Super Gorilla had to save the planet from the evil “silent e”. These “e’s” kept placing themselves at the end of certain words; turning a can into a cane, a pan into a pane.

I also had the desk shown in the video. The drawers of the desk were a great place to keep all these wonderful letters.  They came in various colors.  If I focused, I bet I could remember what color each letter was.  A was red, B was orange……E was blue, F was purple.  And I won’t go any further, you get the point.
