Great product. Not only colorful and charming on one side but reverses to plain aleph bet to make learning the letters fun and easy. Bonus for kids that the reverse side is b&w version. Mats are laminated and young kids can color in the letters and older ones learn them as non-permanent markers can easily be wiped off. Service was outstanding. Order with standard Priority Mail arrived within 2 days. Company could not have been nicer.
I bought these placemats for my 3rd graders who are beginning Hebrew. One parent told me that her son read the Chanukah Blessings--using the placemat to identify letters he didn't know. What else is there to say? They made a great Chanukah gift. BTW--my daughter-in-law bought one for my grandson--she's my source. Anyway, great teaching tool and an amazing gift.
These placemats are a bit larger than I imagined which is a pleasant surprise. Very colorful on the one side and the back sides characters are large enough to allow the grandkids to color them using the dry erase markers many times over.
