Feels Write – Lowercase & Uppercase Before chil Feels Write – Lowercase & Uppercase

Before children can master fluent handwriting, they first need to build fine motor control, learn the language of shapes and patterns, and practice the movements that form each letter.

Our beautifully crafted Feels-Write stones are the perfect tactile and visual tool to support early letter formation. Each stone is carefully engraved, offering gentle sensory feedback that guides children as they trace each letter shape.

Starting at the green dot, little hands can explore and trace with their fingers—developing key motor memory skills that lay the foundation for confident writing.
