Get the free Print & Play Matching Game

A playful letter-learning activity for children ages 3–5, built around a simple idea: familiar objects help make abstract letters easier to recognize and remember.

Meet the Letterlings® — letters that disguise themselves as familiar things beginning with their sound.

Created by a Swiss psychologist and UX researcher

and developed with children, educators, and speech-language pathologists.

Why Letterlings?

Letters are abstract. Letterlings make them easier to connect with something children already know.

​

An A-Letterling might disguise itself as an apple or aluminium foil, a B-Letterling as a banana, a book or a bubble — while keeping the shape of its letter.

​

Children can look, listen, match and discover as they begin building connections between letters, sounds and familiar words.
