Great for learning on the go

New writers and counters can practice their letters and numbers in multiple ways--first by placing the magnets on the chalkboard, then by tracing or copying them. For more advanced writers, it provides the perfect opportunity to experiment and explore. Try placing the letters of a familiar word (such as 'cat') on the chalkboard all mixed up and asking the child to unscramble them. Then challenge him or her to draw a matching picture on the dry-erase board.
