You might wonder whether kids should be writing on paper, rather than on a tablet. Well, I volunteer at my local school with the younger classes and they use whiteboards a lot these days. They have less friction and make it easier to form letters. Using a stylus on a tablet has a quite similar feel to it. There's also the LeapPad range of tablets which use a stylus and touchscreen and have apps and games that teach letter formation and lots of other educational skills.

My younger son learned to form his letter correctly on his LeapPad. The Mr Pencil stylus offers a similar experience for kids who have access to an iPad.

We think it's really important for kids to get hands-on with electronics and learn how to make circuits and write code to control hardware. Help your child build a strong educational foundation with this well-rounded curriculum. Your subscription also includes access to the LeapFrog Streaming Video Library. Your child can enjoy hours of entertainment while learning about the alphabet, letter sounds, word-building, numbers, shapes and much more. If LeapReader is connected to LeapFrog Connect, disconnect LeapReader from LeapFrog Connect by pushing the “Eject” button and disconnecting it from your USB cable.We're advocates of the creative use of technology, but this needs to be balanced with developing physical skills such as papercraft, woodwork, clay modelling, technical drawing and soldering. If children don't develop these skills as they grow up then physical making projects can become frustrating rather than fun. And as a parent, I appreciate not having my kids use up lots of paper practicing their letters. Working on a tablet is much more convenient. Younger kids can start with conductive playdough. For kids who like to combine craft and tech, littleBits are fab. And we love SAM Labs wireless electronics components for making it easy for kids to make Internet of Things inventions. The Maker Community uses the term 'making' as a broad term to include all sorts of artisan skills or craft activities. Being able to make things can lead to life-long hobbies or even careers. It's a great feeling to be able to take a project from an idea in your head to a real object that does something.
