Fun Friends Pre-writing Buddies

Description

Build the foundational skills children need for kindergarten writing success

In kindergarten and beyond, children are expected to write letters and numbers and draw simple illustrations. These skills depend on strong pre-writing foundations — including basic strokes, body awareness, and motor planning.

When children haven’t mastered pre-writing strokes first, handwriting and drawing can feel frustrating and overwhelming. Many kids avoid writing not because they lack ability, but because the foundational skills needed for success are still developing.

Fun Friends is an 18-piece dry-erase magnet set designed to support pre-writing skills and kindergarten readiness through purposeful play.

Each magnetic buddy is made of three interchangeable parts — head, body, and legs — that can swing, slide, stand, or sit. This intentional design strengthens body awareness, body schema, and motor planning, which are essential for handwriting readiness and fine motor development.

Instead of practicing strokes in isolation, children use pre-writing lines and shapes to:

• Create scenes and playgrounds

• Position characters intentionally

• Build early drawing and storytelling skills

As they play, children are developing the foundational skills needed to:

• Form letters and numbers more easily

• Draw people and illustrations with confidence

• Sustain attention during writing tasks

• Feel successful meeting classroom expectations

✨ Fun Friends can be used as a stand-alone pre-writing tool or paired with Fun Strokes® Pre-Writing Magnets to add motivation and meaning to stroke practice. For example, after drawing a horizontal line for a swing using the swing set magnet, a child can place a sitting Fun Friend on it — reinforcing both stroke formation and body awareness.
