Peel, stick and trace your way from knowing letters to writing them.

✏️ Stronger grip: tracing uppercase and lowercase letters builds the pencil control needed for writing
🔤 Letter recognition: matching over 250 stickers to letters, words and pictures links sounds to symbols
🖐️ Finger control: peeling and placing small stickers works the thumb-and-finger grip that later holds a pencil
🎨 Quiet creativity: 20 activity pages with letter-themed pictures to colour in
📄 Roomy workspace: a large 28 x 36 cm pad with space for big, wobbly early letters
🎒 No setup: no batteries, no mess, and it travels easily for car trips and cafe visits

The Educator's Note

Peeling and placing stickers builds the thumb-and-finger control behind a pencil grip before any writing starts, which makes practice feel less like a chore for children who avoid pencil work.
It covers both uppercase and lowercase letters through tracing, matching and colouring, so a child meets each letter in several different ways within one pad.
The 28 x 36 cm pages give early writers room for large, uneven letters, so they aren't squeezed into spaces smaller than their pencil control can manage yet.

Twenty pages of tracing, sticker-matching and colouring give a child a calm, absorbing activity they can start straight away. Over 250 stickers turn letter practice into a game of finding where each one belongs, with no batteries or setup. Built for the stage when they are ready to move from recognising letters to writing them, it suits children from around 4 to 6 years. It sits neatly between preschool play and the first demands of Prep.

Also available in a great value bundle

Chosen for children who are ready to start connecting letters with sounds and early writing.

The 4 to 5 year old getting ready for Prep who needs relaxed practice recognising and tracing letters
The 5 to 6 year old in their first year of school who is still settling uppercase and lowercase letter shapes
A child who resists pencil work but will happily peel and stick, making sticker-led tasks a gentler way in
Parents after a quiet, self-contained activity for car trips, appointments, cafes or school holiday afternoons

Why the stickers do the heavy lifting

Most children will happily ignore a worksheet. Hand them a sheet of stickers and the mood changes. Each page asks them to find the matching letter, word or picture, then peel and press the sticker into place. That peel-and-place action is quietly doing a job. Lifting a small sticker off its backing takes the thumb-and-finger control a child later uses to hold a pencil, so the fine motor practice happens before the writing even starts.

From recognising letters to writing them

The 20 pages move through tracing and writing both uppercase and lowercase letters, matching stickers to letters, words and pictures, and colouring letter-themed illustrations. Children who can sing the alphabet song but still mix up b and d get repeated, low-pressure exposure to how each letter looks and what it stands for. Tracing is where the transition from recognising to forming letters happens. Pencils and crayons are the safest choice for the pages, and letting them try again matters at this age, because confidence with writing is built through repetition.

Easy to fit into real life

The pad measures about 28 x 36 cm, bigger than an A4 page, so there is room for a child who is still working with large, wobbly letters. It is flat, light and silent, which makes it a reliable choice for a long car trip, a restaurant table or the quiet stretch of an afternoon when you need to get something done. It also grows with them. Younger children will enjoy the stickers and colouring first, while a child heading into Prep can use the same pad for proper letter formation. Because the activities are self-directed, it works well as solo play once they know what to do, and just as well when you sit down together and sound out the words. Once letters are settled, the Melissa and Doug Numbers Activity Pad carries the same format into counting, and our literacy and numeracy range has more for early learners.
