Fauna O - Orange

The letter O is paired with an orange because the round fruit echoes the round shape of the letter and starts with the O sound. That double clue, a familiar fruit that both looks like and sounds like O, helps the letter stick.

This alphabet puzzle introduces the letter O and its sound through a single wooden piece. Naming the orange, tracing the O and fitting the piece back builds letter recognition, early phonics, vocabulary and the fine motor control used for careful placing.

Both teach the letter O with different pictures. This one uses a round orange, while the Fauna O is for Orca puzzle at /products/fauna-o-orca pairs O with a sea creature. Two images for the same letter give your child more than one way to remember it.

Yes. Each Fauna letter is a separate piece, so you can gather more and line them up in alphabet order, spell short words, or find the letters in your child's name. Adding letters over time keeps the game fresh.

Yes. It is made for the preschool 3 to 6 range. The chunky single letter is easy for a young child to hold and place, and short, guided sessions keep the focus on naming the letter and hearing its sound.

Wipe the wooden piece with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away. Keep it away from long soaks and standing water, and store it somewhere dry between play so the timber stays in good shape.
