Quick answer

To spell a child's name with Peter Rabbit wooden letters, first write the name and count each letter, then order one wooden letter per character from the collection. Lay the letters out in order before mounting, leaving a small even gap between each. If the name has repeated letters, order duplicates; each letter is sold individually.

Plan the name and check letter availability

Write the full name exactly as you want it displayed, including any hyphens or spaces. Count the letters to know how many pieces you need. The Peter Rabbit wooden letters collection includes individual letters such as M, A, and H, but not every letter may be in stock at all times. Check the product pages for the specific letters you need before ordering. If a letter is unavailable, consider using a different name form (for example, a nickname) or waiting for restock.

Order the correct quantity and handle duplicates

Each letter is sold separately, so a name like 'Emma' requires two M's. The collection includes letter M featuring Peter Rabbit and Mrs. Rabbit, letter A featuring Peter Rabbit, and letter H featuring Mopsy and Cotton-Tail. Because each letter features a different Beatrix Potter character and pattern, repeated letters will look identical unless the design varies. If you want visual variety, you can mix letters from different characters, but the name will still read correctly as long as the letters are in order.

Lay out and space the letters before mounting

Place all letters on a flat surface in the correct order. Check that the name reads left to right and that no letter is upside down. Leave a small, even gap between each letter—about the width of your finger—so the name looks balanced. If you are mounting on a wall, use a level or measuring tape to keep the baseline straight. For a nursery shelf, you can lean the letters against the wall, but secure them if the child can reach them.

Mount safely and involve your child in learning

Use removable adhesive strips or picture hanging strips suitable for the wall surface. Avoid nails or screws if you want to rearrange later. Once mounted, use the letters as a teaching tool: point to each letter and say its sound, then say the whole name. For toddlers, keep the letters within safe reach only if they are lightweight and securely attached. The letters are made from FSC-certified wood, so they are sturdy, but they are not toys for chewing or rough play.

Steps to spell a name with wooden letters

  1. Write the name and count letters: Write the name exactly as you want it displayed and count each character. Include spaces or hyphens if they are part of the name. Double-check the spelling before ordering; a missing letter means a delay.
  2. Order one letter per character: Add each required letter to your cart individually. If a letter repeats, add it multiple times. Check that the character shown on each letter is acceptable for your design. Repeated letters will look the same unless you choose different characters, but the name will still read correctly.
  3. Arrange and space the letters: Lay the letters out in order on a flat surface. Adjust the gaps until the name looks even. Use a ruler or level if mounting on a wall. A small, even gap between letters makes the name easier to read.
  4. Mount securely and teach letter sounds: Attach the letters with removable adhesive strips or picture hanging strips. Once mounted, point to each letter and say its sound, then blend them into the name. Involve your child by asking them to find a letter or say the next sound.
