hand2mind Letter Tracing Sensory Pad, Sensory Toys for Preschool Toddlers, Learn to Write

I received this product for free in exchange for a review. That being said, I think this is a great toy and activity for 3-5 year olds who are just learning their letters. My daughter is 3 and started preschool a few months ago and is really excited about learning about the alphabet and reading and writing. I pulled this out during her quiet time and it kept her occupied for probably 15-20 minutes, which is great for us! I love that it entertains her but that it is also educational. I think this has helped improve her ability to draw lines more steadily when writing and drawing. While my daughter was mostly able to do this on her own, after pulling the cards in and out after a few days they did get stuck more easily, so I do wish that the cards were made of a sturdier material. The clip to hold the pen also broke off the first time it was used. This doesn't effect the overall use of the product, but the broken piece would definitely be a choking hazard for a younger sibling. Overall I think this is a great activity and learning resource for younger kids, I especially like that they can mostly do it on their own for a quiet time activity.

I received this product for free in exchange for my review. We really loved the tracing pad. Both of my kids were able to use it and they had fun switching the cards out. It's a great tool for early writing practice. One thing I would say is the gel material was sometimes a little difficult to trace over but it mostly was great!
