Skil-Care Glitter Letter Sensory Shapes 5-PK
Skil-Care Glitter Letter Sensory Shapes — Hidden-Letter Gel Pads, Set of 5
Shift the Sparkle, Find the Letter
These Skil-Care glitter-filled sensory shapes hide a letter inside every pad — and finding it is the game. Each 5" wide shape is sealed in smooth vinyl and filled with sparkling glitter gel that shifts with every touch, so fingers press and sweep the glitter aside to reveal the hidden letter, turning letter recognition into a tactile treasure hunt that supports literacy, fine motor skills, and calming routines all at once.
Two five-shape sets cover the essentials: the Vowel Set (A, E, I, O, U) and the Consonant Set (R, S, T, L, N — five of the most common letters in everyday words). The shifting glitter enhances visual tracking on its own, and the fluid-resistant vinyl surface wipes clean easily between users in sensory rooms, classrooms, and calming environments.

- Sparkling Glitter Gel: The shifting glitter enhances visual tracking and sensory engagement with every touch.

Equipment Specialist Insight: The hidden letter is what makes these self-starting — the glitter gives an immediate reason to touch, and the reveal gives a reason to keep going, so the literacy practice smuggles itself into play. Start with the Vowel Set (five letters every word needs), add the Consonant Set to start building simple words across both packs — the ten letters together spell more than you'd think: RAT, SIT, TEN, NEST, STAR. They're natural tray-toppers: stage a few on the Star or Wavy activity tray for a contained find-the-letter station. Wipe the shapes between users, never puncture or submerge them, and retire any shape whose casing is damaged.

Q: How does the hidden-letter activity work?
A: Each shape's letter sits beneath the sparkling gel. Pressing and sweeping the glitter aside reveals it — then the gel drifts back and hides it again for the next round. The find-reveal-name loop pairs tactile play with letter recognition and needs no setup or instructions.
Q: Which set should I start with — and why these consonants?
A: Start with the vowels: every word needs them, and A-E-I-O-U is the classic first letter group. The consonant set's R, S, T, L, N are among the most frequently used letters in English, so combining both packs unlocks simple word-building games with just ten shapes.
Q: How do I clean them between users?
A: Wipe each shape with a mild detergent solution and dry it. Never puncture or submerge the shapes, and inspect the sealed casing during routine cleaning — retire any shape that's damaged or leaking.
