Kiddiwinks Pre-Writing Stencils, Pattern Tracing Stencil Set, Pattern Tracing Kit.

Tracing helps little ones refine their pre-writing skills, and builds the foundation for drawing and writing letters and words.
Tracing is a powerful way to practice fine motor control. Toddlers are just starting to enter the emergent writing period, when they begin to understand that writing is another way to express their thoughts.
When you give your toddler some straight or zig-zagged lines to trace, he’ll learn the beginning steps for writing letters. Tracing can fine-tune your toddler’s drawing and writing skills to provide him with more refined and coordinated movements he’ll need for handwriting.
Concentration and focus often go along with pre-writing skills. As your toddler uses his hand and fingers to move a pencil, crayon, or marker along a line, he has to focus on what he’s doing. To follow that line, he has to keep watching it as well as remind himself to keep grasping his writing utensil and keep it moving. That’s a lot to concentrate on, but it all works to develop his working memory and attention.
Your toddler’s visual-spatial skills refer to his ability to sense where things are around him, like how far the paper on the table is away from his face. As he experiments with tracing, he’ll learn how to connect what he’s seeing (lines or shapes, for example) with how to form them using his pencil
