The back-to-school supplies list has arrived. You survived. Well done.
Now, the real question: how to transform your child's desk area into a space they want to go to? Educational magnetic games to learn letters, numbers, and professions — without it feeling like a lesson. Made in France, battery-free, screen-free. For ages 3 and up.
We've put together a selection for you.
Learning letters and numbers — by playing, not reciting
For the youngest who are discovering the alphabet, the 61 large magnetic letters alphabet is perfect for them: 5 cm capital letters, the perfect size for small hands, with an illustrated bilingual alphabet included. Each illustration in the alphabet is also found in Ma Cabane à Rêves magnetic games — a way to build bridges between learning. The child spells out their name, spells "CAT", invents words that don't exist. That's how children learn the alphabet without even realizing it.
To go further, the 104 magnetic letters alphabet offers a more complete version, ideal for first grade and beyond.
As for numbers, the 52 magnetic numbers don't come alone. The packaging hides three real educational tools:
- The number 10 house — to understand combinations that make 10
- The illustrated number chart — number, word, and quantity associated
- The number tracing template — to write numbers in the correct direction
All made in France, CE certified, for ages 3 and up.
Discovering professions — because "I want to be an astronaut" deserves more than a vague answer
Back to school is also when children start to wonder what they want to do later. Firefighter, doctor, cook — the classics. But also musician, illustrator, stylist, photographer.
The Professions covers 13 iconic professions. Creative Professions opens the door to 12 artistic professions often absent from educational toys — and yet essential.
Both games include bilingual FR/EN profession cards printed on the back of the packaging — a picture dictionary to keep long after opening the box.
Getting organized — because back to school also means 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 minister's schedule.
The magnetic weekly planner displays the week at a glance: who has what, when, and with whom. Useful for the whole family — and particularly practical for households juggling two homes.
And to see the entire month, the erasable magnetic monthly calendar allows you to plan activities, holidays, birthdays — and erase them when plans change. Because they always do.
Practicing writing — the Seyes & Squares magnetic slate
Friday's dictation, evening additions, first cursive letters — all of this is better practiced when you can erase and start over without wasting paper.
The Seyes & Squares magnetic slate combines both formats on one side: Seyes lines for writing, large squares for math. Dry-erase surface, compatible with dry-erase markers and Stabilo Woody pencils.
The detail that changes everything: it magnetizes directly onto the wooden magnetic board, the adhesive board, or the fridge. No clutter on the desk — it takes its place on the magnetic surface and can be removed when no longer needed.
Available in two colors: Soleil (Sun) and Lune (Moon).
Equipping the desk area — the right material, in the right place
A desk area that makes you want to settle in isn't improvised.
WOOD is a wooden pencil holder designed specifically for children: its slots are adapted to Stabilo Woody 3-in-1 pencils, so children can spot their colors at a glance and grab them themselves. Inspired by Montessori principles — autonomy, visual order, free choice. It magnetizes 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 limited series — the kind of object you keep for a long time because it's both beautiful and useful.
For the magnetic surface, two options depending on the room:
The wooden magnetic board attaches to the wall — in a rectangular 80x55 cm format or in the shape of a Cabin. The durable solution that grows with the child.
The scalloped adhesive magnetic board (Groovy Magnets collaboration) is installed without drilling or screws. Ideal for renters or those who want to try before committing. Note: magnets lie flat on this support — no stacking, unlike the wooden board.
All 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 appearing to.

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 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 the youngest children from 3 years old — the 5 cm letters are suitable for small hands 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, magnets stick and can be stacked. On the scalloped adhesive board, magnets stick flat but cannot be stacked.

No — but it complements them. The Seyes slate replaces the traditional slate, and magnetic alphabets and numbers complement exercise books. The idea is to make learning at home more fun, not to eliminate school tools.
