Note: The actual product may differ slightly only in color from the illustrated in the Image when compared with Computer and Mobile Screen. Children can practice proper letter formation and develop their writing skills with this hands-on, natural solid wood alphabet tracing board. Younger children can simply use a finger to begin learning personalised how to trace the letters, while older children who are ready for writing can use the included wooden stylus to develop the hand and finger strength required for a proper pencil grip. Perfectly sized to fit in a child’s lap, and lightweight enough for easy transport. Complete with a convenient groove for storing the stylus. The Montessori approach writting recognizes that a child’s potential for learning is greatest when provided with tactile, multisensory tools. A letter tracing board capitalizes on this concept by helping a child stencils to develop visual memory while also training the muscles of the hand, until proper letter formation is mastered. One side features lowercase letters for your child’s initial introduction to writing, while the other side includes capital letters to support the continued development of reading and writing. Hand made with love and care. Makes a great birthday gift.
