Description

Pre-writing skills are the key skills children require before they are able to write.

These skills contribute greatly to the child’s ability to draw, colour and write and play a major role in their ability to hold and use a pencil.

The 9 key pre-writing shapes make up most letters and numbers and your child will typically be able to master these shapes with practice when they are developmentally ready (see photo gallery for 'what to expect').

Our pre-writing learning mats are designed to help your child practice tracing and copying the key shapes and patterns required before moving onto letter formation. They build confidence making sure your child is truly ready to start forming letters.

Pushing a child to learn to write too early can be detrimental to their future learning in all subject areas so it is very important to take their time and get it right to avoid forming bad habits.

 

Why choose our learning mats?

  • A gradual approach to learning to write, designed to aid confidence and development independent letter formation (stage 1, stage 2, stage 3)
  • Our letter formation mats have clear 'starting stars' so the child knows where to begin the pencil movement and 'ending dots' so they know where to finish.  
  • 3 different designs, colourful and bright to make 'learning fun'!
  • Minimal guidelines on the name mat so less daunting for younger children.
  • Directional arrows can be added if required (select on checkout)
  • Recommended for ages 3 years and above
  • Wipeable/Reusable
  • Double-sided
  • Recommended by primary school teachers
  • Great reviews by parents

    Lovely, fun product!

    We have only had our order for a short time and it’s my 2 year olds favourite activity already! She loves it and has progressed so well with her pencil control already. It is well made and easy to clean to re-use over and over! Thank you!

    Lovely writing board

    We bought the starter pack and my daughter loves it. Her pen control has improved so much since using it and she loves that she can rub it out and start again. We will definitely be buying some more and I'd definitely recommend. Communication was really good from ordering to recieving and it's made very well. Thank you xx

    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!
