What's in the Box

- HANDS-ON LEARNING: The Movable Alphabet is an incredibly powerful tool that allows children to express themselves with “written” language at an early age, long before they have developed the fine motor skills required to use a pen or pencil. Give your child the freedom to start writing!
- DUAL PURPOSE WOODEN CASE: The Montessori & Me Movable Alphabet features a dual-purpose wooden case. Just flip open the wooden lid to reveal three rows of painted ruling lines, ready for your child’s letter placement! This clever design allows the lid to double as your child’s work space and helps with development of letter spacing and alignment.

The included strong and durable case is crafted from an eco-friendly hardwood and finished with a smooth, lasting child-safe lacquer to protect and organize your educational investment.
