There are plenty of Apps for Tracing Letters and Numbers that toddlers will be interested in. My son doesn’t enjoy writing but when we started using iPad apps for tracing letters and numbers, he was spending more time learning letters, numbers and how to write them.
Here are some of the apps for tracing letters and numbers that we have used and some that are available at the App Store. Check out which ones your child will love. Using these apps for tracing letters and numbers instead of paper will save trees too. 😀
DADDY TIP: Your child can use their fingers to trace letters in their iPads. But if they can already grip or grasp a pen or pencil, try using a pen stylus when they trace letters. Most apps will work on iPhones too but it’s too small for writing. Better to use iPads instead.
