Easel Pad A-Z

Age: 3+

Reinforces knowledge of letters and letter sounds

With a page for every letter of the alphabet, this educational coloring pad takes children through the ABCs picture by picture. At the top of each page is one letter of the alphabet outlined in uppercase and lowercase form, letting children color or trace the letter shapes to gain familiarity and to practice writing letterforms. An oversize label for the main picture is written out in crisp, clear letters, so kids see how each character becomes part of a word, and how each word relates to an object. Even if children skip the labels and just grab a crayon and have fun coloring in the pictures, they’ll be playfully picking up information about letter sounds and making cognitive connections: The whimsically illustrated pages encourage children to spot and color numerous examples of the featured letter in action. A picture-search list in the bottom margin adds to the fun and helps kids catch every detail: a sock-wearing serpent sipping soda, a collared cat carrying crayons, a gorilla, giraffe, and goose gobbling grapes, and much more. It’s a colorful way to build fine motor skills, letter recognition, pre-literacy skills, and creative expression through a timeless kids’ art activity with universal appeal.

Versatile extra-large format is great for fine motor skills

Huge coloring pages are perfectly sized to hang on a Standing Art Easel, share across the arts-and-crafts table, or spread out on the floor. Especially good for children working on fine motor skills and developing pencil grasp, the large pages are an open invitation to lean in or lie down and color—a painless way to encourage proper arm and finger positioning. The oversize pictures offer lots of big spaces to fill, so there’s less pressure to mind the margins and more opportunity to color freely, boosting confidence in children who might be reluctant crayon-users and offering a low-anxiety way to build finger strength and self-esteem.
