Montessori Sandpaper Letters | Lowercase and Uppercase | PP Wood Tiles | Vowel Consonant Color Coded | Includes Storage Box

We have loved using this so far

I am using these letters to practice with my 5 y.o. grandson. The first time I had the box sitting out, we were about to start working with something else and he spotted them and immediately started pulling them out and asking what they were. That was a great start and even after he knew they were the alphabet, being on wood tiles gave them a unique feel. He hasn't really been intrigued by the sandpaper feel and tracing the letters doesn't excite him in particular. We have taken advantage of the sturdiness by placing the letters by objects that start with that letter and we have even done this outside.These sandpaper letters came very well packaged. They come divided into upper and lower case with each bundle packed in bubble wrap. In the bubble wrap, the letters were separated by a piece of paper so they wouldn't be wearing down the sandpaper letter during shipping. The wooden box to hold the letters is very nice and durable. I did keep the original cardboard box for storage since the letters could spill out of the wooden box.

Didn't receive the capital "O"**edit** Delmach customer service reached out to me shortly after I left my original review and offered to refund my purchase. The quality of these tiles and their storage box is fantastic, so I requested the missing letter tile to complete the set. Within 3 days I had received a new complete set! Wonderful customer service!!

I’ve had a set of cardboard sandpaper cards for years, and I’m so happy to be upgrading to this great, high-quality set! The pieces are wooden and an are a nice size and thickness. I like that the vowels are on a different color piece. It would drive me nuts to use these to build CvC words since the letters are not aligned, but it helps me find letters I need more quickly.I love the wooden box and appreciate that it has a divider for uppercase and lowercase letters. It’s well made and I imagine it will hold up well for some time! Be sure to have kids wash their hands first so the yellow letters don’t get grimy. Note that the cards do have a chemically, paint smell upon opening, but it fades with time.

We loosely follow montessori methods and sandpaper letters are a staple. The colors are nice but not overly bright, and the vowels for both the lowercase and the uppercase sets are in blue. The sand over the letters is very nice and not too rough, but raised enough to where it's very easy to trace and do the kinesthetic memory learning.The carrying box for these is really nice as well, it's very sturdy and holds all the letters nicely. I use these frequently for letter recognition and phonetic learning, and we are starting on spelling small words.

I have been using these with my 3 and 5 year old. The sandpaper part of the letter is softer to the touch than i thought it would be (which is good for littles). I like that it comes with a nice little wooden box to contain them. They are not as durable as other Montessori educational toys, but the price make up for it. Overall, i think the quality and value match up and they would be a good addition to a home.

These letters are high quality, sturdy, a good size, works well, great texture that holds up, and educational. Great value!

The wood box that the letters come in for storage was falling apart on day 1, which makes the cards challenging to store/organize or transport too the table when it's time for my daughter to study.
