aarya Opens the Castle Gate

by Kelly Hales

Explore Newcastle with Aarya! In Aarya Opens the Castle Gate, a young child settles into a new castle through cozy rooms, garden discoveries, and playful treasures. This preschool workbook invites children ages 3–5 to color, count, trace, match, and draw as they explore.

Across 97 activity pages, young learners can practice early skills with letter and number tracing, pre-writing, matching, and illustrated activities. Familiar castle and garden themes make each task inviting, from counting orchard apples and soft cushions to following garden paths and tracing wavy moat water.

Inside, children will find:

  • Letter tracing, number tracing, and pre-writing practice
  • Matching activities and illustrated prompts to color, count, and explore
  • Questions for the reader, plus a page for the child's name
  • Nine answer keys at the back to check solutions

A page with helpful directions supports shared practice with a grown-up, while the varied activities let children build confidence one step at a time. A welcoming choice for preschool practice at home or a thoughtful gift for a young learner.
