Light the Way to Early Writing...

This toy is perfect for children who are learning to write.

What is it: It is the Leapfrog Scribble and Write. Children trace the lights to get practice drawing simple shapes and pictures, then graduate to learning upper- and lowercase letters with step-by-step guidance. Fun learning games help reinforce letter recognition and pencil control skills. Best of all, Scribble & Write uses a single retraceable surface for ease of use and portability.

What does it do:
■Four learning modes can help your child progress from drawing simple shapes and pictures, to writing upper- and lowercase letters


■Features a child-sized stylus, single retraceable  surface and stroke-by-stroke guidance

■Parents can connect to the online LeapFrog Learning Path for customized learning ideas and insights from LeapFrog

■Children simply trace over the lights with the stylus to form letters

The Leapfrog Scribble and Write is a perfect toy for strengthening your child's fine motor skills. The easy to use stylus really does help your child learn control when tracing and writing. I bought this toy for my kindergartner for Christmas and she has shown great improvements in her writing skills. I highly recommend this toy for any child that struggles with writing.
