Children use their muscular, tactile and auditory senses to register shapes of letters and the sounds they are associated with.
Children's sense of touch is very sharp in the early years and they love feeling objects and textures. Tracing leads to building a muscle memory of the shapes of the letters, which is a much more effective way to learn than by rote, or by merely seeing or saying. That's what makes this toy so special as children are guided by parents to trace, mimic and associate letter shapes with sounds.
Set includes 26 wooden cards with sandpaper letters pasted on them, red cards for consonants & blue for vowels, a wooden tray for stacking the cards, a detailed instruction manual all packed in a beautiful Doodle box.
Size of tray with cards: 16.5 cm x 12 cm x 11 cm
