Description

Spelling and counting board consisting of a cardboard disk with wooden tiles fitted into tracks. Each tile is printed with a letter on one side and a number or math equation symbol on the other side. There are 2 horizontal tracks in the middle of the board connected on the right to a circular track around the edge. The front and back of the board are printed in the center with images of 2 children playing with the board at a table [top] and writing on a chalkboard [bottom]. The edge of both sides is printed with illustrations of scenes from children's fairytales. The ground is printed red. The board is held together by metal bars riveted to either side of the outer track, allowing the track to be continuous.

Use

Words can be formed in the center two lines by moving the tiles around the tracks.
