Simply Trace vs TraceBuddy GU

Simply Trace turns writing into Fun; a creative adventure for your child! Kids trace animal with magical brushes, collect reward cards, and build colorful scenes — all while developing the fine motor skills they need for writing.

It builds foundational fine motor strength, improves hand-eye coordination, and teaches the basic directional strokes needed to form letters and numbers independently TRACE WITH FUN BRUSHES Choose from crayon, glow, sparkle, rainbow, spray, and more. Every brush makes tracing feel like art, not homework. Kids follow numbered dots to complete each animal while earning collectible cards along the way. 300 ANIMAL TRACINGS From elephants to butterflies, each animal is a new challenge.
