Abstract
Abstract A child''s drawing device including a base plate having a central opening. A template having a notched periphery is located and rotatable in said central opening and a gear is received in a gear seat in said base plate. The teeth of the gear are in engagement with the notched periphery of the template. Means is provided for selectively securing said gear in any one of a plurality of orientations and since the gear and template rotate with each other for securing said template in any one of a plurality of orientations. The base plate includes a number of edges and flanges depend from each of said edges in the same direction perpendicularly away from said base plate. During use a pad may be held fixed relative to said base plate and template by being nested within said flanges.
