These early sound-play skills are the essential building blocks every child needs to master before learning to read.

JUMBO TRACING BOOK

This oversized tracing workbook is the perfect starting point for your little learner! Before children can independently write, they need to build fine motor control and muscle memory. With large, easy-to-follow letters, numbers, and shapes, this book gives toddlers the confidence to practice pen control while naturally absorbing early alphabet and math concepts. It is an essential, screen-free tool to set them up for writing success!

WOODEN MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

This beautiful, natural wood Montessori instrument set is a must-have for your toddler's playroom! Beyond just making joyful noise, exploring percussion and beat is a powerful way to develop auditory discrimination. Being able to hear different rhythms directly translates to a child's ability to clap out syllables and hear the individual sounds in words. It is a fun, screen-free way to build the essential phonological awareness skills they need long before they begin reading
