Write or Wrong

As with all things I create, there is currently a need for this item at my house right now. I created these "Writing Boards" as a way to make it fun for my Preschool son to practice writing his own name (over & over!). The flip side has a cute & fun alphabet I designed with corresponding objects to their letter sound to reinforce the letter sounds and remind him what the letters are actually supposed to look like. He has used his for about six months and still likes it, so I began giving these as gifts to friends' children. They have been such a hit that several people have requested to purchase their own to give as gifts to other preschool kids. They remind me of the old-timey slate boards Mary & Laura Ingles used on Little House on the Prairie, except those sweet girls probably had to share one; and to have a wipe off one in cool colors with their own names on them would have totally blown that little Walnut Grove Schoolhouse away! But oh, the joy of making Nelly Olson jealous...! Whoa, okay, back to reality.... So, yeah, these Writing Boards are way hip & totally cool for kids and for parents who don't like wasting paper, too!
