What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is a replacement spinner component for APH's HOP-A-DOT Mat, a tactile alphabet activity mat designed for children who are blind or have low vision. The HOP-A-DOT system combines large tactile letter squares with a spinner to create movement-based alphabet and literacy games — the spinner is what determines which letter a child hops to next. This listing is the spinner only, not the full mat; you'll need the HOP-A-DOT Mat (catalog #1-08819-00) for it to be useful. Buy this if your original spinner is lost or damaged — it's a direct replacement part, not a standalone product.
