Not very engaging / interesting
Bought this item for a 3 year old, its had very limited use. It was a bit of a novelty to draw in the sand but not very engaging, and probably took longer to set up than it was actually played with. The light doesn't show well through the sand, and the pen doesn't write great. We didnt use the cards because all the letters are capitals, where the child is learning lower case letters and letter formation. But the concept of the cards showing how to write the letters is good - could be more suitable for an older child.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Students adore this
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.

Love this sand writing
Love this sand writing! My preschoolers enjoy the light as an added bonus. Perfect amount of sand, but do like to change the colors out for variety. Great quality and ease of use!
