Coconut Handwriting Shapes - Set of 16

This set of Coconut Handwriting Shapes is your new go-to for early mark making with a tactile twist. Each lozenge-shaped piece is carved from natural coconut shell and features a pre-writing pattern – giving young learners the perfect introduction to the strokes and shapes that underpin early letter formation.

Whether tracing with fingers, matching patterns, or making marks in sand or clay, these beautiful resources help children build core fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Each piece is around 5cm across – ideal for small hands to hold, grip and manipulate with confidence.

Place them in your literacy shed, add them to a mark making station, or include them in outdoor continuous provision for an EYFS-friendly activity that blends sensory learning, letter prep and natural curiosity. They’re particularly useful for children who aren’t quite ready for pencil grip, offering a hands-on route into the world of letters and language.

Natural, hardwearing, and open-ended – just the way we like our loose parts.

Why not pair with our A4 Natural Wipe Boards - Set of 6, Tuff Spot Tray Paper Pad Insert , or Cosy Writing Station?
