This toy really feels like play! Great way to get sensory practice in along with tracing. Lower and upper case letter tracing and beginning lines. My 3 year old also likes to use it without a tracing card and make designs with his finger. Perfect size to stick in a purse or bag for on the go or waiting at restaurants. Cards store in the back. Good value. I highly recommend for fine motor skills.

I HIGHLY recommend this product. I am a special education teacher who works with a student who loathes writing. This is the best product I have found to work with this student. They loved it immediately. I love that it has a dot to show the child where to start. I love how durable it is, including the great letter cards. I also appreciated the option of using their finger to trace or they could use the writing tool. Fabulous!

Good product for preschool classroom. It has the sensory elements that younger children are drawn to. It meets my state's standards for my writing center area. It also has connected pieces that will help with my younger 3 year olds. The only reason I gave this product a 4 stars was due to how the gel covers the writing surface. It’s hard to get a full coverage over the surface. Im currently practicing with the children on spreading the gel gently to get better results and coverage.

Good product to practice fine motor skill- writing. My son is three and uses the attached pen or his finger. It’s sensory based and can keep him engaged. Cards includes letters, lines and curves for your kids to trace. It’s kinda hard to pull the card specially for the little one but I think it’s still worth the money.

My girls loved these for Christmas! Easy to use and very educational! Helping them work on writing their letters. Good size. I don’t love the note cards since they are getting bent already after a few weeks and they are hard to get in and out of the slots, but I am happy with this purchase overall.

Although this product is functional, my daughter got bored quickly. I light that it was forcing hand/grip strength to see the letters which promotes hand strength, however it doesn’t indicate how to form the letters. (Such as a starting point or arrows)This might be great in a “writing center†in a preschool center.

The concept of this is really nice and makes sense. The execution is terrible. I was looking for something that was reusable and not messy for my daughter to practice her letters. While the gel provides a good way to keep it mess free, it also doesn’t make the letters super clear. Even when I tried to trace the letters, it wasn’t as visible as I would like as the gel basically oozed its way back to where I had displaced it from to write. And I don’t like how there is no easy way to “clear†the board. You have to use your hands and shift the gel around. All around terrible product. I don’t recommend.

My son uses this in the car whilst on the way to school! He’s engaged with it and it works well. I bought it as another way to help with letter formation and he’s happy to use it which is half the battle!

My toddler loves this. He picks the letter and the traces either with the attached pen or his fingers. Only challenge can be him ‘erasing’ previous letters and ensuring it’s ‘clear’ so begin writing again. Great size for travel too!

Sliding the cards out can be tricky for young kids. It a good activity for kids to practice writing.
