The school supply list has arrived. You survived. Well done.
Now, the real question: how to turn your child's desk corner into a space where they want to go? Educational magnetic games to learn letters, numbers, and professions — without it feeling like a lesson. Made in France, no batteries, no screens. For ages 3 and up.
We’ve put together a selection for you.
Learning letters and numbers — by playing, not by reciting
For little ones discovering the alphabet, the 61-piece magnetic alphabet is made for them: 5 cm capital letters, the perfect size for small hands, with a bilingual illustrated alphabet primer included. Each illustration in the primer can be found in Ma Cabane à Rêves magnetic games — a way to build bridges between lessons. Your child can spell their name, spell "CAT," or invent words that don't exist. That’s how you learn the alphabet without even realizing it.
To take it a step further, the 104-piece magnetic alphabet offers a more comprehensive version, ideal for first grade and beyond.
As for numbers, the 52 magnetic numbers don’t come alone. The packaging hides three real pedagogical tools:
- The Number 10 House — to understand combinations that make 10
- The Illustrated Number Chart — matching numbers, words, and quantities
- Tracing number templates — to learn to write numbers in the right direction
All made in France, CE certified, for ages 3 and up.
Discovering professions — because "I want to be an astronaut" deserves better than a vague answer
Back-to-school is also the time when children start wondering what they want to do when they grow up. Firefighter, doctor, chef — the classics. But also musician, illustrator, fashion designer, photographer.
Professions covers 13 iconic occupations. Creative Professions opens the door to 12 artistic jobs often absent from educational toys — yet they are essential.
Both games include bilingual FR/EN profession cards printed on the back of the packaging — a picture book to keep long after the box is opened. Learn more about the profession games →
Getting organized — because back-to-school is also about logistics
Monday swimming, Tuesday guitar, Wednesday at grandma's, Thursday speech therapy, Friday snack at Léa's. A child's week in 2025 is a ministerial schedule.
The magnetic weekly planner displays the week at a glance: who has what, when, and where. Useful for the whole family — and particularly practical for households juggling two homes.
And to see the whole month, the erasable monthly calendar lets you plan activities, holidays, birthdays — and erase them when plans change. Because they always do.
Practicing writing — the Seyes & Grid magnetic slate
Friday dictations, evening additions, first cursive letters — all of this is easier to work on when you can erase and start over without wasting paper.
The Seyes & Grid magnetic slate combines both formats on one side: Seyes lines for writing, large grids for math. Dry-erase surface, compatible with dry-erase markers and Stabilo Woody pencils.
The detail that changes everything: it attaches directly to the wooden magnetic board, adhesive board, or fridge. No clutter on the desk — it takes its place on the magnetic surface and is removed when not needed.
Available in two colors: Sun and Moon.
Equipping the desk corner — the right gear, in the right place
A desk corner that makes you want to sit down doesn't just happen by accident.
WOOD is a wooden pencil holder designed specifically for children: its slots are adapted to Stabilo Woody 3-in-1 pencils so that the child can spot their colors at a glance and grab them on their own. Inspired by Montessori principles — autonomy, visual order, free choice. It attaches to the magnetic board or sits on the desk.
PIOU is a bird-shaped pencil pot for standard pencils and pens. Magnetic or freestanding, handmade in a limited series — the kind of object you keep for a long time because it is as beautiful as it is useful.
For the magnetic surface, two options depending on the room:
The wooden magnetic board mounts to the wall — in a 80x55 cm rectangular format or in a house shape. A sustainable solution that grows with the child.
The scalloped adhesive magnetic board (Groovy Magnets collab) attaches without drilling or screws. Ideal for renters or those who want to test it out first. Note: magnets stick flat to this surface — no layering, unlike the wooden board.
All this, made in France. For ages 3 and up.
No batteries, no screens, no 12-page instruction manual. Magnets that assemble, move, tell stories — and teach without looking like it.

FAQ
At what age can you start using these back-to-school magnetic games?
All Ma Cabane à Rêves magnetic games are CE certified and designed for ages 3 and up. Some, like the magnetic alphabets and numbers, are suitable up to first grade and beyond.
Are the magnetic games compatible with each other?
Yes — the magnets work on all magnetic surfaces: wooden board, adhesive board, fridge, magnetic slate. You can mix and match games on the same surface.
Where are Ma Cabane à Rêves magnetic games made?
All products are made in France and CE certified. Materials comply with European safety standards for children's toys.
What is the difference between the 61-letter alphabet and the 104-letter alphabet?
The 61-large-letter alphabet is ideal for little ones from age 3 — the 5 cm letters are adapted to small hands just discovering the alphabet. The 104-letter alphabet offers more letters and possible combinations, perfect for first grade and early reading.
Do the magnets stick to all magnetic boards?
On the wooden magnetic board, the magnets stick and can be layered. On the scalloped adhesive board, the magnets stick flat but cannot be layered.
Can a magnetic game replace standard school supplies?
No — but it complements them. The Seyes slate replaces the traditional slate; the magnetic alphabets and numbers complement workbooks. The idea is to make learning at home more fun, not to eliminate school tools.
