Shakkil is an innovative educational system made of colored tracing mats designed for children to form shapes, letters, numbers and illustrations using Da3douka natural playdough, their fingers, or a board marker. Each set provides an engaging multisensory learning experience that combines fun, creativity, fine-motor development, and early academic skills.

Created to support children in the foundational stages, Shakkil reinforces pre-writing skills through tracing, shape formation, letter recognition, and visual-motor integration. It is based on STEAM principles — encouraging sensory play (Science), shape/letter recognition (Technology & Engineering foundations), creativity (Arts), and cognitive development (Math foundations).

Each Shakkil set includes:
-High-quality laminated mats
-A board marker
