ABSTRACT:
An educational toy which utilizes visual and tactile association to develop, particularly in the young child and the child with learning disabilities, the ability to recognize/identify a picture and/or figure of an object with, for example, a descriptive word or symbol having associative significance.
Two columns of drums, each independently operable, are rotatably mounted in a housing having viewing windows adjacent each drum. Each drum in one column has a plurality of pictorial representations on its circumferencial surface which has associative significance with a descriptive word or symbol on the circumferencial surface of an adjacent drum. Learning, for example, visual discrimination, is effected by alignment of pictorial representations with associated words/symbols. The learning experience is enhanced and reinforced by color alignment and tactile association respectively.
