57 Lowercase Letter Set for Spelling

Regular price£19.95
/
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

WARNING: SMALL PARTS. Not suitable for children under 3 years old.

Enhance your child’s playtime and learning with our expanded set of 57 lowercase silicone letters — including extra vowels and common consonants to support spelling, phonics, and word-building. Each set comes in a handy, washable storage bag for easy organisation and cleanup.

Unlike typical foam or plastic alphabet letters that can become damaged or mouldy, our silicone letters are built to thrive in every play environment. Made from high-quality, non-toxic silicone, they’re soft, durable, and water-resistant — perfect for sensory play, messy play, and even bathtime learning.

Each letter features a recessed profile that allows children to press them into sensory materials like sand or playdough, reinforcing letter recognition through touch and exploration. The raised edges make it easy to fill the letters with materials such as rice, water, or playdough, encouraging creativity and fine motor development. Children can also trace the letter shapes with their fingers, supporting early handwriting and letter formation.

With intentional colour-coding to make learning even more accessible, the set includes six vibrant colours, with all vowels unified in one colour to help children easily distinguish them from consonants.

Key Features:

  • Expanded set of 57 lowercase letters, including extra vowels and common consonants for spelling and phonics.
  • Made from high-quality, non-toxic, food-grade silicone that's soft, durable and water resistant.
  • Ideal for sensory play, messy play and bathtime fun.
  • Recessed and raised edges supports tracing, stamping and filling with sensory play materials.
  • Promotes letter recognition, fine motor skills and early literacy development. 
  • Colour-coded for easy learning, with all vowels in one colour.
  • Includes a handy, washable storage bag. 
  • Suitable for children aged 3 and over.

Great Play Tray Accessory!

Absolutely love these letters - able to be used for both wet and dry play due to the material and the quality is lovely (as with all Inspire My Play items). I like that there's more than 1 of each letter and more vowels so we can actually use them to make a variety of words without buying more than 1 pack. My 3 year old loved our first tray with them - jelly phonics!

Hello Amy, thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We're so happy to hear that you are already finding fun ways to use your new letters - jelly phonics sounds delicious! Thank you for choosing Inspire My Play!

This set is great

This set is great, washes and dries easily, used on rice, flour and playdough so far. My 2year loves the feel of the letters and loves holding them and squeezing them and my 5 year old has enjoyed practising her words in playdough or finding them in rice and flour.

Versatile and will be using for years!

These letters are excellent quality, size, shape and colours. There are plenty of each letter to spell out words and play different games with. I love that they’re waterproof and can be used with play dough and sand and that they’re squashy and fun. Highly recommend.
