ABC (Uppercase) Chunky and Tracing Puzzle

A useful puzzle for helping children to become familiar with the alphabet, and with the role of letters in the formation of words.  A tracing stick is provided to help build the fine motor skills, practice pen holding and the correct way to write each letter. A great preschool puzzle to prepare a little one on the movements of writing and build their muscles ready for writing for extended periods of time. 

Ideas for enhancing play and learning:

• Ask the child to select the letter that his/her name starts with.  Repeat this with other family members and pets.
• While placing letters in their correct position on the board, it could be useful for the child to learn the sound of the letter and to have him/her think of other words that begin with this same sound.
• First simple naming words can be formed with the accompanying use of the Lowercase Puzzle. Children can begin to recognise the difference between upper and lowercase letters.
• Trace and practice the movement of writing letters. 

Suitable for ages: 18+ months
