My son sometimes struggles to find a comfortable hold, so I appreciated having the silicone grips included rather than buying them separately.

My husband sits with our little boy practising numbers while I help our daughter with her letters. It's only a short activity, but it's become a lovely part of our weekend.

Bought this for our five year old who's starting to take more interest in reading and writing. She found some of the letters tricky at first, particularly the curved ones, but she really likes being able to trace along the grooves. The disappearing ink is a brilliant little feature because we can revisit the same exercises without wasting loads of paper. We tend to do a few pages together after nursery rather than sitting for ages, and she always looks pleased with herself afterwards.

My two have started challenging each other to see who can finish tracing a letter first. We're trying to remind them that neatness matters too!

Really good having a mixture of exercises instead of one repetitive workbook.

She's four and very interested in starting school. I thought this would be a nice little way for her to explore letters before Reception.

I hadn't realised there were six separate books. Plenty of different pages for the children to explore.

My daughter enjoys feeling the pen follow the grooves. It's made our little writing sessions much less of a battle.

My youngest needs help with the instructions and some of the exercises. I wouldn't expect her to sit and work through everything alone just yet.

We packed a couple of books and pens for a weekend visiting family. Nice little activity without taking loads of toys.

We do five or ten minutes rather than making it a big lesson. Keeps things relaxed and enjoyable.

My daughter loves deciding whether we're doing letters, numbers or drawing today.

Usually my five year old is finished with writing activities almost immediately. He's been more interested in following these grooved pages.

She's starting to recognise letters and enjoys following the shapes with her pen.

My daughter was genuinely shocked when she came back to her writing and it had faded.

My son finally managed to trace a B he was happy with. He made me come and look at it immediately.

Easy to store and take out whenever we fancy doing a bit of practice.

My mother used to help me with my handwriting when I was little. Now she's doing the same with her grandson. Quite sweet really.

Our youngest likes tracing shapes while his older sister prefers the numbers. Nice that they can both find something suitable.

My son insists the blue one is his special writing pen and nobody else is allowed to borrow it.

Sometimes we just need something calm to do when everyone is a bit tired. This has been lovely for that.

I used to print tracing activities and then find bits of paper all over the house. These reusable books are much easier to manage.

I've started asking my daughter to choose three letters for us to practise together after tea. She thinks she's in charge, which she absolutely loves.

My four year old still loses interest after a few minutes, but that's perfectly fine. We come back to it another time.

I expected my daughter to be all about the alphabet, but she absolutely loves the pictures.

My son doesn't get as upset about making mistakes because he knows he can redo the page later.

My five year old has started telling me which letters I need to practise. Very strict little teacher.

Handy little activity for a rainy afternoon while we were away in Wales. Didn't take up much space in the bag.

We keep the set nearby so it's easy to bring out when we've got a spare few minutes.

Not saying we've suddenly banned tablets, but it's lovely having another option for a bit of quiet time.

My daughter seems to prefer holding the pen when we've fitted one of the silicone grips.

I bought these for quiet afternoons when he visits. Now he heads straight to the drawer to find them.

My youngest finds the curved shapes harder than straight lines. We just do a little at a time.
