The Alpha Pad is a hand held Magna Doodle that helps kids learn their letters through creative draw play. The magnetic drawing screen allows children to draw and erase in a neat travel format. The transparent lid magically creates guide lines to help them practice drawing letters on the screen when a selective magnetic card is inserted and the child closes the lid. The card will have upper and lower case letters and numbers 0-9 in proper Zaner-Bloser form for visual reference to assist the child in drawing their numbers and letters.
