Good!

My 3 yet old starts this up on her own, does the letters and repeats the words and is proud. What more could I want?
MMadag

Too many elements

This is cute, however I don't believe incorporating numbers for Mr. crab to follow is helpful. It is distracting. I would have just used dots or maybe shaded shapes. My son is already familiar with handwriting without tears. The numbered shapes are more vibrantly colored and seems to take the focus away from tracing. Don't think I will upgrade.
