Get ‘One Step Ahead’

Just because it’s play time, it doesn’t mean they can’t bone up on their ABCs!

With these interlocking foam puzzle mats from One Step Ahead, your child — and a friend — can get interactive with letters as they build cubes and play with these cushy pieces.

If letters don’t suit your fancy, the cushy mats also come in solid color or number sets. You can stick with one, or buy one of each and mix and match.

They’re durable, too, so you’ll have them long after they’ve learned their 123s.

Interlocking Foam Puzzle Play Mats from One Step Ahead. $29.95 per set. For info, visit www.onestepahead.com.
