What you need
One sheet of A4 paper and a pencil. Thicker paper holds crayon better, but ordinary paper is fine.
How to use it with your child
Strokes before letters
Every letter in every script is made of a few strokes: a standing line, a sleeping line, a slant, a curve, a circle. Children who can draw these confidently learn to write letters much faster, which is why nursery teachers start here.
