What your child practices
Guiding a line along an edge with a light, even hand, then filling a shape with parallel lines. Ten shapes and five colored pencils. The frame does the correcting: the pencil cannot leave the opening.
How to use it together
Show it once: choose a pencil and run it slowly all the way around the inside of the frame. The frame stops the pencil, and a bit that was missed stays open until the pencil goes back, so the frame stays on until the line is closed. Then it lifts, and rubbing inside the outline fills the shape with lines, which play a little run at the end. Put the frame back and do it again, or choose another shape.
