The Foundation for All Subjects

Pegs to Paper is an innovative educational range designed to help children build essential foundational skills for literacy and numeracy. Using a unique peg and pegboard system, the products engage young learners in hands-on activities that strengthen motor and cognitive development. The range includes Pattern Pursuit, which boosts pattern recognition and early brain development; Exercises for Handwriting, supporting grip, control, and language skills; and Count Up, a versatile maths tool for building number sense and problem-solving. Together, these resources offer a well-rounded, practical approach to early learning across core subject areas.
