Fauna N - Nut

The Fauna N is for Nut piece shows the letter N with a nut, the small hard-shelled seed. It gives your child an everyday snack-time word to attach to the N sound, which makes the letter easier to remember.

A wooden alphabet piece gives the letter N its own solid shape your child can hold, turn and fit back into place. Focusing on one letter helps a preschooler link the shape of N with its sound and with the nut picture.

Both cover the letter N but with different pictures. This one pairs N with a nut, while the Fauna N is for Nest puzzle at /products/fauna-n-nest uses a bird's nest. Having two images for the same letter gives your child more than one word to link to the N sound.

Taking the piece out and placing it back supports fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, while naming the letter and the nut builds letter recognition, early phonics and vocabulary. Short, playful turns keep a young child interested.

Yes. Each Fauna letter is its own piece, so you can add more and work toward the full alphabet. Line them up A to Z, spell short words, or pick out the letters in your child's name.

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