Slates Small – With 2 Sides for English & Math

The Small Writing Slate is a high-quality, durable wooden slate designed to help young learners confidently transition into writing. Built with a strong MDF base and smooth, child-safe finishes, this slate is widely used in Montessori classrooms and early learning environments for developing handwriting, number formation, and pre-writing skills.

Each slate features two functional sides:

• Grid side with neatly printed squares for number work, arithmetic exercises, and learning number alignment
• Lined side with four-line ruling (similar to copywriting books) for practising alphabets, letter spacing, and early sentence writing

This dual-purpose design allows children to refine pencil control, strengthen fine motor skills, and build writing confidence long before they shift to notebooks. The tactile experience of writing and wiping also reinforces repetition, independence, and responsibility—core Montessori principles.

Child-friendly materials, smooth edges, and sturdy construction ensure safe, long-lasting use. With regular care, the slate can be used for years and passed on to other learners.
