A dog is waiting on one side of the yard and its bone is on the other, but the grass is way too tall. Your student steers a lawnmower along each patch of grass to mow it down, and with every patch cleared, the dog trots a little closer.
Each board repeats one pre-writing stroke, so kids get lots of practice on the same shape. Choose from nine patterns, from simple vertical lines to circles, squares, triangles, crosses and X shapes.
