Quietly worried other children can write their name, but yours can’t?

Don’t worry, they’re just not there yet. With their own name, lines, shapes & more to trace, they’ll be asking for these after tea!

How does it work?

Their name is printed in dotted letters on a wipe-clean pad. They trace it with a black dry-erase pen, wipe it with the eraser or a dry cloth, and go again.

What age is it for?

From 3 and up. Three-year-olds usually start on shapes and lines. Four-year-olds head straight for their name.

Delivery and returns

Every pad is printed to order with their name and sent from the UK by Royal Mail. We aim to dispatch in 1 to 2 working days, and personalised pads can take slightly longer. 30-day love it guarantee: if it isn’t right for them, send it back.

You’re not the only one

One photo can make it feel like a race

It’s natural to want the pen out that same evening. But letters are made of lines and curves, and rushing straight to the name is often when the pen goes down.

  • The feeling it has to start tonight
  • Measuring them against everyone else’s
  • Going quiet, then searching late at night
  • Not wanting it to turn into lessons

At three and four they’re all at different points, and that’s fine. Shapes on the wobbly nights, their name on the good ones.

Get both in the Complete Kit

Even the rubbing out is part of the fun.

Bought two sets for my boys

“Bought two sets for my boys in preparation for school and they’ve really enjoyed practising their writing (and possibly even more the rubbing out!). Thrilled with the quality, thanks!”

My son loves drawing shapes

“This kit is a big hit with my preschooler! My son loves drawing shapes and proudly tracing his own name along the dotted lines. The dry-wipe boards make it extra fun because he can wipe it clean and have another go (again and again!) until he gets it just right. The double-sided boards are great value and make learning feel like play. Definitely worth the money! I’ve bought several products from priya and peanut over the years and I’ve never been disappointed!”

Every child is different. One child’s pads, shown for illustration, not a promise about timing.

Start their week 1

Not ready for letters? There’s plenty to practise before them.

  1. Step 1: The first evening

    They see their name pad and have a go. With the kit, three-year-olds usually start on the shapes and lines.

  2. Step 2: Shapes and lines

    In the kit: drawing, doodles and lines. Lots of easy goes, and a wrong line wipes off.

  3. Step 3: Letters, numbers

    Also in the kit: lowercase and uppercase letters, and numbers 1 to 20.

  4. Step 4: Their name

    Tracing their own name in dotted letters. Four-year-olds often head straight here.

  5. Step 5: The goal

    Their own name, written by them, without the pads. Whenever that is for them.

Every child is different. This is the order the pads are built in, not a promise about timing.

How to use

Trace. Wipe. Again.

Name pads and practice pads on a table, with Olivia traced on a Unicorn Pink name pad

Step 1: Pick and personalise

Choose Unicorn Pink, Dinosaur Blue or Safari Beige. Add their name. We print it in dotted letters.

Step 2: Trace after tea

Use a black dry-erase pen. Shapes and lines in the kit, or their name if they’re keen.

Before you decide

What age is it for?

From 3 and up. Three-year-olds usually start on the shapes and lines. Four-year-olds head straight for their name. Older children still settling their pen grip use the letter and number pads too. Every child is different, which is why the Complete Kit has all of these and the name mat is the name pad on its own.

Is it £6, £8.50 or £20?

It depends where they’re starting. £6 is the personalised name mat on its own: one double-sided pad, no pen. £8.50 is that name mat with a pen and eraser. £20 is the Complete Handwriting Practice Kit, usually £24: that same name pad plus five more (drawing and shapes, doodle and half line, full half line, lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers 1 to 20) and the pen and eraser, which works out at £3.33 a pad. At three, the kit lets them start with shapes and lines. At four, their name pad is there, with the letters and numbers pads alongside it. Mel Paul, who bought the kit, called it “Definitely worth the money!”

What if they don’t enjoy writing practice?

Start with the drawing, shapes and lines pads in the kit, so their name isn’t the only thing on offer. A design they picked and pads that wipe clean keep it feeling like play, not homework. And if it isn’t right for them, our 30-day love it guarantee covers it.

Which designs can I choose?

Unicorn Pink, Dinosaur Blue or Safari Beige, all the same price, for the name mat and the Complete Kit. Letting them choose is half the reason they sit down.

Which pen do I need?

Black dry-erase pens only, as these are easiest to clean. The £6 mat has no pen. The £8.50 name mat comes with a pen and eraser, and the £20 kit includes a pen and eraser.

How many times can it be wiped?

There is no set number. Use black dry-erase pens, as these are easiest to clean, and wipe with a dry microfibre cloth or the kit’s eraser straight after each go. That’s the best way to keep it clean.

How is the name printed?

In dotted tracing letters on the double-sided name pad. It is printed, not a sticker, so it does not wipe off with the pen marks. In the Complete Kit the name goes on the name pad; the other five pads are shapes, lines, letters and numbers.

Can I order more than one with different names?

Yes. Type the first name, then tap ‘Add another child’s name’ and type the next. Each child gets their own pad printed with their own name, and each can have their own design and set.

How quickly will it arrive?

Dispatched in 1 to 2 working days from the UK, personalised pads slightly longer. It comes with our 30-day love it guarantee.

At their own pace

Help them work towards “I did it myself.”

Type their name, pick their design and we’ll print it. If it isn’t for you, you’ve got 30 days to send it back.
