My daughter is already hooked!

Introduced these to my two year old the day after they arrived and she's now obsessed. Still a lot of work to do, but already she's got a better grip and has seen it's easier when she uses it. Going to be very useful as she grows and the cards have a variety of stages to help her as she grows. Would highly recommend!

Brilliant

My daughter loves her writing sheets, so much she insists on taking them everywhere with her to use. Really good quality and lovely range of choice.

Learn To Write: "Taster" Set

Hi Sophie

Thank you for your review. If you could let me and other customers know what the problem was with your order that would be helpful to all.
If I can remedy anything is anyway then of course I will try.

You will see from all the reviews that customers are very happy with the mats so it would be really useful to understand why you were not.

Thanks Jo x

Name practice mats

The children in my setting loved the mats good value and efficient service

Great idea

A free marker wouldn’t go a miss they just wanted to get started straight away great idea

Hey Susan, thanks for the review :-). Just to let you know that any felt tip pens work fine on the mat and children often like to choose their own colour. I only sell specialised triangular shaped pens which are more expensive and not every wishes to purchase so aren't included. I hope your child loves using their mat. Jo x
