BrainQuest: Alphabet
First comes walking, then talking and finally those ABCs find their way into your child’s vocabulary. The next step involves a pen, lots of paper, and even more patience. That’s why we like the BrainQuest: Alphabet Write & Erase Set for ages 3 and up. It’s a step-by-step book designed for smaller hands that uses dry-erase technology to save us from wasting reams of paper as our kids learn to shape each letter. Portable, educational and affordable—we think it’s ‘write’ on the mark. ($10.95, available at www.chapters.indigo.ca)
