Touch ABC (Montessori)
A tactile alphabet you can touch!
With Montessori-style teaching methods guiding the learning, children assemble the 2-piece puzzle sets learning to associate letters with sounds and the featured words and pictures. Children can also trace the shape of the emery letters with their fingers, and after learning the alphabet can repeat this with their eyes closed to guess the letters. They will also distinguish longer and shorter words, and thanks to the special self-correcting tokens, will learn the alphabet.
