This activity provides an opportunity to improve your child's letter recognition, and help to provide meaning behind letters which come together to create words.
By helping your child pick words of interest to them in the beginning, this activity should provide them with a better understanding of how words connect with certain objects or people. It should also be exciting for them, as they learn to match letters together to create the finished word.
Allowing your child to manouvre the peg on their own will help develop their fine motor skills, which is essential for pre-writing.
