Grasping the alphabet is a very important task, yet it can also be boring to learn.

Letter Machine adds an element of fun by bringing sound and animation into play.

The Letter Machine Itself is a small computer, comprising of a keyboard and screen.

Press a letter on the keyboard and the screen displays a rhyme and associated animation to illustrate its use in everyday language.

Choose the letter 'D', for example, and the words "dinosaurs dance" appear on-screen, accompanied by an animation of two dinosaurs dancing.

The keyboard can be set to display small or capital letters, and there is also a friendly giraffe that talks children through each letter of the alphabet, for an extra element of fun.
