ABSTRACT:
An educational device is disclosed for teaching children handwriting skills. The device includes a tablet which supports a sheet-like member having an inscribable surface. A clutch assembly is mounted to the tablet for rotation only in a clockwise direction about an axis of rotation. A transparent control plate is mounted to the clutch assembly for rotation therewith. The plate includes a plurality of apertures adapted to receive a writing implement. Each of the apertures is located at a different radial distance from the axis of rotation and is angularly displaced from each of the other apertures. An overlying plate is mounted to the tablet and positioned to cover at least half of the rotatable control plate. The overlying plate has an edge that lies across the rotatable plate. In operation, a writing implement is received in the apertures and serves to inscribe a plurality of concentric arcs on the sheet-like member during rotation of the control plate about the axis of rotation, thereby instilling a habit in the child of drawing arcs in a clockwise direction.
