The concept of pre-writing activities for toddlers can be challenging for parents, but with this kit, you can easily model fun, effective pre-writing activities for parents that they can continue at home. Four books that emphasize drawing and finger play, large wooden screw toys, and lacing cards demonstrate how play can help strengthen little hands and increase their dexterity—just the skills toddlers will need when they learn to write in kindergarten.
