Scholastic Early Learners: Interactive board books for hands on learning! An exciting new series of early learning novelty board books that combine Scholastics strength in learning with beautiful photography and clear designs to stimulate early learning. Trace Play and Learn ABC 123 is an interactive book full of activities to help children learn their ABCs and 123s. In this action-packed book children use their fingers to trace letters and numbers and there are also flaps and sliders to explore and enjoy. Perfect for reinforcing letter and number learning as well as hand-eye coordination. Kids can use their fingers to trace the letters of the alphabet (capital and lowercase) as well as numbers. Each letter or number shape is indented in a lower layer of board (to make it really clear for children to feel the shape) while dots and arrows show the starting points and direction of travel. There is a picture and word for each letter to reinforce letter learning. For the numbers there are sliders that reveal objects to count.
