Children can practice proper letter formation and develop their writing skills with this hands-on, wood alphabet tracing board. Younger children can simply use a finger to begin learning 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 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 to develop visual memory while also training the muscles of the hand, until proper letter formation is mastered. This board measures 12.5" x 10.5" x 0.5" and weighs 1.8 pounds. Available in Uppercase Letters, Lowercase Letters, and Numbers Perfect for 3+
