SiliShapes Trace Alphabet

The TickiT® SiliShapes Trace Alphabet Letters introduce a fresh and engaging way for children to learn the alphabet through sensory exploration and tactile play. Designed for use in nurseries, pre-schools, and primary schools, these durable silicone letters are ideal for hands-on activities that make learning letters fun and accessible.

Each letter in the SiliShapes Trace Alphabet set is crafted from transparent pink silicone—a soft, pliable material designed for frequent handling by younger children. This versatile set allows children to explore literacy, fine motor skills, and sensory play through everyday activities, whether they’re tracing letters in the sand pit, arranging them on a light panel, or even using them in water play. The durable silicone material means these letters can be easily washed in a dishwasher after messy play, making them as practical as they are engaging.

Key Features and Learning Benefits
