Product description
Item 2051.00, Creative Shapes Pegboard, is a large plastic unit, 16 by 12 inches, which has a plastic peg hole surface, a small compartment to hold the shapes, and a cut out area which allows the unit to be carried. A printed picture (four tow-sided design cards are provided) can be inserted beneath the peg surface, providing an outline. The child tries to match the shapes of the outline using the 32 play pieces consisting of 9 different molded plastic shapes. Item 2050.00, Magnetic Alphabet Board, is a two sided plastic unit, 16 by 12 inches. One side consists of a magnetic surface cut into the shapes of the letters of the alphabet. The child fits the provided plastic letters into the cutout surface. The second side is a flat magnetic board. The child can arrange letters into words. There are the twenty-six letters of the alphabet plus ten more. There is an indent to allow portability and a storage space for the letters. Both items, referred to as activity centers, are produced to be compatible with item 2054.00, All-In-One-Learning Center, which is a piece of furniture. However, the items are retail packed and will be imported and can be used separately. Although the units have a small storage capability and portability, they are not cases, but working surfaces. Your samples are returned as requested.
