Discover the joy of writing through play!

🎯 The first letters are not born in an exercise book – they are born in the fingertips. The multisensory pre-writing set “Discover the Joy of Writing” invites children to trace lines in a salt tray and to draw with chalk and marker on a double-sided board – and so to prepare for writing playfully, through their senses. Inspired by the Montessori method.

✨ What does this aid develop?

• Pre-writing skills – lines, shapes and the elements of letters with a finger, with chalk and with a marker;
• Fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination – every stroke is a workout;
• Sensory perception – the texture of the salt turns writing into a sensory experience;
• Attention and independence – mistakes hold no fear: sweep the smoother across and start again.

🎲 How to play at home?

Start with free drawing in the salt with a finger – waves, circles, zigzags. Then move on to directional exercises and the elements of letters, and repeat the same on the board with chalk (the black side) or a marker (the white magnetic side). The golden sequence: finger in the salt → chalk → marker → pencil on paper. The salt smoother is a small pleasure that children look forward to most of all.

🧑‍🏫 Tips for professionals

For occupational therapists and special-needs educators this is a complete pre-writing kit: the sensory trail in the salt allows the movement to be shaped without the problem of pen pressure, the double-sided board adds variations in resistance (chalk takes more force than a marker), and the magnetic surface works with letter magnets. Valuable when working with children at risk of dysgraphia and with motor difficulties. For speech and language therapists the salt tray also suits “writing” sounds while learning the letters.

📦 What is in the set?

• a wooden tray for pre-writing exercises (30 × 22,8 cm);
• a double-sided board: chalkboard + white magnetic side for a marker;
• 3 pieces of chalk and a sponge;
• 1 wipe-clean marker;
• a bag of salt (0,4 kg) and a wooden salt smoother.

Note: the instructions may be in Spanish, but the use is self-evident – pour, trace, create.

👶 Who is it for?

Recommended from 3 years. For future first-formers, Montessori groups and the rooms of occupational therapists and speech and language therapists – a set in which writing begins with joy rather than obligation.
