This Montessori language material includes a complete set of 26 lowercase and 26 uppercase sandpaper letters, each mounted on painted wooden boards for durability and tactile engagement. Lowercase letters are presented on pink boards, while uppercase letters are on blue boards—encouraging visual distinction and pattern recognition.
The main goal of this activity is to help the child associate and remember lowercase to uppercase letter forms through hands-on matching and repetition.
The sandpaper surface offers multisensory learning, helping children refine their fine motor control while preparing the hand for writing. As children trace the textured letters with their fingers, they internalize letter shapes through movement and touch—a fundamental principle in Montessori education.
This matching game supports letter recognition, memory, and early literacy skills through active exploration and self-correction.
Each board measures 3.5" x 2.75", and the set comes neatly organized in two solid beechwood boxes for easy access and classroom organization.
