Your kid has got the ABC Song down pat (she can even sing it in Spanish!), and now it’s time to kick letter learning up a notch. Don’t worry if your preschooler rolls his eyes at those rote alphabet flash cards. Here’s how to give the future scholar an edge in phonics without boring them to pieces.

Write On!

Once your little one recognizes the letters of the alphabet, it's time to put pencil to paper; or in this case, magnetic pen to magnetic board. As the letters are traced with the pen, little ball bearings pop into place. To re-do, just swipe the letters with your finger. So. Cool.

Available at Fat Brain Toys, $25.95.
