Bring letters and numbers to life with augmented reality!
Fine motor skills and play are imperative in kindergarten learning. That's why we've included AR playdough mats into our templates. If you don't have playdough you can use other tactile items or draw.
Get started with learning letters and numbers!
Use these ‘no preparation’ worksheets to combine the teaching of letters and numbers with simple use of new technology. Most importantly, these sheets encourage children to pick up a pen and write, before they pick up a tablet and animate the letters and numbers in augmented reality. Studies show that when numbers and letters are handwritten children show greater memory retention.
