Wooden alphabet letters are usually bought by parents to spell out their children’s names. These letters are placed either on the door of the kids room, above the child’s bed or anywhere in the house to make a child feel special. They are absolutely adorable and make the best personalized gifts for children especially with fancy wooden letters such as animal letters, dinosaur letters, dolphin letters, fairy letters etc.

However, spelling out a child’s name is not the only use of wooden alphabet letters. As a matter of fact, these pieces of wooden art can be used in several different ways, all of which are equally important.

Perhaps what most people would consider as the most significant use of these wooden letters is as educational toys. Many schools from around the world have in fact ensured that children learn the alphabet and also word making skills via fancy wooden letters. Researchers who study a child’s development over a period of time have all concluded that if learning is made as much fun as possible for the child, then they are more than likely to pick up things faster and also show greater enthusiasm for learning.

This is where getting letters with dolphins or various animals on them would not only make it more fun for the child, but they will actually look forward to the learning sessions. Also for those kids who have a learning disability, fancy wooden alphabet letters have come as a godsend for them. Several teachers note that their class has better attention when using a prop or something entertaining. Wooden letters with animals, dolphins, fairies etc on them do exactly that – capture a child’s attention. The uses of these letters in education are immense and it is simply up to your imagination on how you use them to benefit a child.

The other important use of wooden letters is what we briefly touched upon at the beginning of this article – personalized gifts. Alphabet letters with all kinds of art on them make the best personalized gift that you can give to any child. It shows you really care about the little one by getting them something that so clearly spell out their name. You can even get smaller sized wooden letters to put on toy boxes or any other gift that you bought for the child.

A personalized gift makes it completely stand out from other gifts that a child may receive on any special occasion. It is the best way to show you care and make the child feel really excited. I haven’t met a child yet who was not excited to see their name on something, especially a gift meant for them.

Of course wooden alphabet letters need not be just for little kids. It can be used for grown ups as well. For example, they can be used to spell out your company name or shop name outside the place of business. They could be used to write a special message for your loved one. Similar to uses in education, wooden letters can be used by grown ups in an infinite number of ways. It is simply up to your own imagination on how you want to use these amazing letters.
