Wipe clean writing pattern strips

15 reusable laminated pattern strips that can be used as a prewriting exercise. The child can first trace over the patterns with her fingertips and then use water-based sketch pens to go over them. When the ups, downs, curves and slashes begin coming naturally for her she will be ready to graduate to writing letters.
    
Make sure your child is ready to write by providing her activities to hone her fine motor skills in the first four years.
