Teaching the alphabet is an important milestone in every child's life. Learning ABCs and how sounds and letters work together is the foundation of language development that children depend upon to gain critical communication skills. You can make learning fun and engaging by using Alphapals, an interactive and innovative teaching method that keeps kids interested and excited.
What Are Alphapals?
Alphapals are hand-crafted, plush letters that help children master preschool alphabet activities through hands-on, creative play. They are available in a variety of sizes, colors, textures, and weights for a sensory learning experience suitable for all children.
Alphapals Sizes
Alphapals come in two sizes. The large capital letters measure approximately 11" x 9" x 2." The mini-sized capital letters measure 4" x 3" x 1." These cozy and fun letters are available individually or as a full alphabet set. The large sizes come with a storage bag, while the mini set comes in a soft and cuddly backpack for easy storage and transport.
Alphapals are also available in lowercase as individual letters and as a set. Large-sized lowercase letters measure 6" x 7" x 2" for short letters and about 6" x 10" x 2" for tall letters. Mini-sized lowercase letters are about 4" x 3.5" .75" and 6" x 3" x .75." The lowercase sets come in a white cotton storage bag.
Fun Alphapals Colors
Choose from a wide range of exciting colored alphabet letters. Alphapals come in seven rich, vibrant hues like Ruby Red, Grassy Green, Peacock Blue, and other happy, upbeat colors sure to spark a child's imagination and inspire hours of playtime. For those who prefer gentler colors, Creamy Cream, Dove Grey, and Rhino Grey are soft and soothing.
Convenient Storage
You can purchase Alphapals rainbow alphabet letters separately or as a full set of 26 large alphabet letters with a convenient storage bag that transforms into a comfy seat once all the letters are packed away. The Alphabag is fully lined, durable, and machine washable. It has a sturdy zipper to keep everything safely stored inside, along with a handle for easy travel. The bag's measurements are approximately 24.5" x 24.5" x 15."
The neutral gray color matches nearly any home décor scheme, so you can keep your child's Alphapals nearby and ready for playtime. Each bag features the trademark Alphapals smiley face and is the perfect way to keep all your plush letters together without worrying about losing any pieces.
Like the storage bag, caring for your Alphapals is easy. All letters are machine washable. Just toss them in the wash on gentle and tumble dry on low for fresh and clean plushies ready for another adventure.
Hand-On Learning
Alphapals provide a unique approach to learning to read as children explore reading readiness. Having the ability to touch and hold the letters helps children to better understand the alphabet and how letters pair together to form words. Children can choose a letter to practice sounds, find words that begin with that letter, and make up stories. As they progress, they can start to arrange the stuffed letters into words to further develop their language skills.
Interactive, Imaginative Play
Play-based learning for kids are an excellent way to make learning fun. Alphapals provide the opportunity for an endless number of creative games and storytelling. Whether children are playing alone or in groups, the interactive letters help them stay grounded in language activities that encourage them to grow and develop, all while giving them the freedom to use their imaginations to create make-believe stories and games.
The Story Behind Alphapals
The founder of Alphapals created the hands-on learning letters as a solution to a challenge she experienced with her own child's learning difficulties. She drew from her background in engineering, design, and production to make letters that addressed her child's need for a therapeutic learning solution that made learning the alphabet easier to understand.
Since letters are the foundation of language and the building blocks of words and then communication, she got the idea to handcraft letters her child could hold and play with. They began playing with the letters after his days at school and development centers. She quickly noticed his growth and improvement. Getting a positive response and seeing increased recognition for letters, colors, and more inspired her to share her innovative idea with other families, creating Alphapals letters and sets to help children learn.
