In this regard, since the child faces several learning difficulties at the age of 3 – 6 years, due to his inability to read and write, hence, this research aims at preparing a textbook of alphabets, words and figures, using the proposed Hand Embroidery Stiches in a way suitable for the child's mental perception at this age, as well as motivating the child's skills of knowledge and pronunciation. In this connection, the researcher prepared a textbook containing the 28 alphabets, in addition to words and figures illustrating the alphabets, and the book's cover. Furthermore, through a questionnaire and the statistical processing, it was found that there are statistically significant differences between the executed pages in achieving the (functional, performance quality level and aesthetic) aspects, according to the opinions of the arbitrators. In addition, there are statistically significant differences between the evaluation axes, and between the executed pages according to the opinions of the arbitrators. Moreover, there are statistically significant differences between the executed pages according to the opinions of the kindergarten female teachers.
