Okay...
This sand tray has the added extra of being backlit, which makes it much easier to see the letters and shapes you make in the sand. Make sure you use only a small amount of the red sand provided otherwise you can't see the white base/light through the patterns you make. I would even use less than the suggest 9 ounces. The light isn't too bright but just right for the purpose. I wish the tray was a bit deeper to hold the sand in, as even with light play it was easily flicked over the shallow lip and resulted in a lot to clean up. The added pen is a great idea and gets your little one used to holding a pen correctly and the rake on the other end allows you to clear your patterns without needing to shake the whole unit. The included lid allows you to seal everything in and stop sand going everywhere between uses so you don't have to empty the tray each time you've finished playing. Overall I think it is about a tenna more than it needs to be (27.00 at time of purchase) but the prompt cards and the tray are good quality and will be used for a few years.

A Good Idea - Practically Not So Good
ℹ️ Light-Up Tracing Centre - ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ This light-up tracing centre is a good idea, however its not the best thing on a practical level. The obvious week link is the sand. Unfortunately its definitely going to get spread over the carpet. If that won’t bother you, than its worth considering.

Kid Learning Cards and Pen Set
At the time of writing this review, the price for this kid learning set is £27.00. My son loves playing with the cards and pen/sand play set. This light-up sensory play tray is an excellent educational toy for pre-schoolers to learn while having fun. The tray includes red sand that glows when used with the included stylus to copy shapes, numbers, and letters from the double-sided cards. The stylus is designed to help children develop fine motor skills and pre-handwriting skills, and the sensory play sand can help them calm down and focus. The toy comes with a lid for storage, a 340g bag of play sand, 18 double-sided cards, and a stylus. The tray requires 2 AAA batteries, which are not included. Overall, this is a great tool for parents or educators looking to engage children in a fun and interactive way to learn pre-writing skills.

Light up tracing centre
This is a lovely way of teaching letters, numbers, artistic skills and honing those fine motor skills. My 2 year old really enjoyed playing with this, aiding his pre-writing skills and it helped my 4 year old correctly form letters and numbers. Excellent quality. The box has a lid to contain the sand. It comes with nice flash cards which show the direction to write the letters and numbers. A stylus and a rake is included but you can easily use a finger to draw with too. Great for sensory play, this is very engaging.

Perfect!
Great learning tool for anyone looking to learn to write! Easy to use, works well and has become a staple in our home for our daughter, really impressed! Well made and safe for her to use. Its a light box in which you put sand over the top and they write the letter seen on the card in the sand, super easy! Really eco friendly too - no wasted paper and no worries about making a mistake! Verdict: Strongly Recommended.

Doesn't seam thought out
I think the idea of this is great. A really engaging way to introduce letter formation to pre-schoolers using lights and elements of sensory play by making marks in the sand and seeing the finished letter lit up. The execution is a little disappointing however. The base is not deep enough, meaning sand is very easily lost over the sides and after a few uses will disappear quite quickly. I think a lot less sand than suggested is needed otherwise the sand slides back and the letter just made isn’t visible. The light underneath is very underwhelming too. Like I said a nice idea, but very expensive for the actual product, the same experience could be had with some mud and a stick outside for no money at all.

This light-up tracing center is an absolute hit in our household! It’s a great value for money, offering hours of fun and engaging activities for toddlers. The bright colors and interactive light-up feature really capture their attention, making it perfect for learning ABCs and other basic skills. The durability of this product is impressive – it holds up well to daily use by little hands. It’s also incredibly easy to clean up, which is a huge plus for busy parents. The ease of use makes it ideal for toddlers to play independently, while also being a wonderful bonding activity with adults. This tracing center is perfect for gifting and has quickly become a favorite toy in our home. Love it and highly recommend it for any toddler’s learning journey!

It was cute. I thought my son would like it, but he didn’t like the noise it made. He played with it once and then said I hate the scraping noise and hasn’t touched it since.

This is a very engaging, sturdy little sand writing unit. I am pretty amazed by how much my kids actually like this silly little thing, but they do. The like it much more than a plain tray with sand. I might buy another. The red sand is messy, but for the high engagement, I do not mind. Anything to get them WANTING to practice writing letters.
