Fisher Price Think And Learn Alpha Slidewrite, Multi Color Learning Toys for Kids age 3Y+

Practice makes perfect, and it's never been more fun to practice writing than with the fisher-price think & learn alpha slide writer! It brings hands-on fun to learning how to write and spell…and its mess-free, too! With the moveable tiles, kids can touch each of the letters and slide them around to make a word. Then they can use that word as a model to practice writing, letter by letter, on the erasable screen. And there are printed guide lines on the screen too, so pre-schoolers know where to cross their t's and dot those i's! The alpha slide writer comes with a specially designed pen that guides pre-schoolers into a correct (and comfy!) Pencil grasp, helping them develop important fine motor skills. And when they've mastered that grasp, simply remove the triangle-shaped grip and store it on the back of the alpha slide writer. Where development comes into play: Letter recognition: kids are introduced to each letter as they begin to manipulate and move them. Spelling: once pre-schoolers can recognize the letters, they begin to slide them around to make familiar words. Dexterity: the pen was designed with growing hands in mind; a triangle shape guides little hands into a correct pencil grasp and can be removed when they're ready!
