Great app for young kids

Amazing app for helping young kids practice early writing skills! I love that it goes beyond just letters & includes numbers and shapes too so there’s plenty for kids to work on as they learn. The tracing activities are simple and easy for little ones to understand and follow on their own. Also like the visual design.. colorful and engaging without feeling overwhelming. Makes practicing handwriting feel more like a fun activity than a lesson. Other apps cost substantially more for these features.. so overall great deal too 👍🏻

Motivates my 5 yr old daughter to trace better

I like that the tracing guides are not rigid, which mimics tracing on a physical book. My daughter’s tracing on the iPad looks similar to that on her practice book. She has to slow down to trace correctly and I noticed she focuses more on the letters and numbers. As a parent, I love that I can customize the accuracy of the tracing guides so her tracing become sharper. I would like to add some more sight words that she should trace/write so that’s hopefully an upcoming feature.
