Welcome aboard Battat Education’s ABC Railway—animals and letters are joining you today! This alphabet train set comes with versatile tools for building literacy skills. Kiddos can learn letter sounds with letter cards, then practice matching uppercase and lowercase tiles with wooden letter tiles. Matching uppercase and lowercase letters can improve little ones’ memory and recall skills! There are adorable animal illustrations on both the tiles and cards, making them great props for pretend play. Kiddos can load the tiles on the train and take the animals on an imaginative train journey! This alphabet toy train is also excellent for pre-printing: it comes with a wooden stylus kids can use to trace indented letters on the tiles. Want help finding your way to an educational playtime?
