Basic Shapes are a prerequisite for good education

I call these books EDU-COLOR.

Oliver Onion

In this section, I have used

names of people our family once
knew. By so doing, the figures
had more meaning for my kids.
Oliver was my stepmother's
beloved pioneer father who set a
strong example of hard work,
honesty and perseverance for her.
She told us many stories of how
the pioneers solved problems
with little to work with. She had
a new baby on the way with no
means of obtaining baby clothes,
One day, she noticed that
the sheep herds had passed through thorny bushes, leaving tufts of wool
behind. She saw an opportunity to solve her dilemma. She went out
early one morning and gathered it all up. Then she washed it, dried it,
carded it, spun the thread and crocheted and knit it into a beautiful
layette. I do not have the skills that the pioneers had. I wish I did!
Anyone, at any time, can benefit from 'imprinting' shapes. But,
the best time to begin to help our children is when they are infants. It is
most important to allow our children to crawl and creep and handle and
explore objects. All these childhood activities contribute to shape
embedment and consequent neural connections and brain development.
I feel lucky to have been
raised on a farm by a good father,
A. Wesley Millet, where we were
required to learn to work hard.
We picked and handled lots of
produce. We hoed and pulled
umpteen weeds. As a reward, we

got to go swimming or to a movie or have a picnic or go visiting or have

some other fun activity when the day's work was done. Families used to
work and play together because they had to, for survival. Few have an
opportunity to own a farm anymore. Ways to get some experience is by
planting a home garden or belonging to a community gardening project.
Children respond best to happy faces. So do all of us. There are
happy faces on these basic shapes. A happy face makes a
child or adult more willing to trace the basic shapes.
My youngest granddaughter smiled
when her mother showed her the
pictures on the computer. She wanted
to have them RIGHT NOW! She is
just the right age, not quite two years
old, to pick up a pencil and explore!

When I am sorting
memories, I occasionally
run across a happy face
drawn by one of my
children. It makes me
smile again! This is why
I included one by
Susanna. She always
had a smile on her face,
and still does!
Scribbling, doodling and drawing with the right hand facilitates
brain development in the left hemispherethe reading and mathematics
control center.
Scribbling, doodling and drawing with the left hand programs
shapes into the right brain half and opens up creativity. Since I'm righthanded, it has not been easy to make my lazy neglected left hand work;
but as I have done so, creative ideas have come in abundance.
Making use of BOTH hands in brain programming is desirable so
that both brain halves are ready to do their job and work cooperatively.
Or independently, like Leonardo
da Vinci, who could paint in two
places at once on a canvas.
One educator stated that dyslexia
and other learning disabilities are
suspected to be caused from
imperfectly formed and connected
nerve pathways, from lack of proper

early physical activities. We knew a man who confirmed this in the

following story:
Many years ago, Kay was popping popcorn on Halloween night.
He had dropped me off at the Provo temple, so he was alone at home
with our children, anticipating trick-or-treater kids coming by. His boss
called. While he was distracted on the phone talking, the oil caught fire.
He hung up quickly, grabbed the burning pot and ran to throw it out the
front door. He forgot that the storm door was
clear glass and between him and the great outof-doors. He threw the burning oil. It
rebounded, splashing burning oil all over his
forearms. I waited and waited for him to come
pick me up. I worried that something awful had
happened. It had.
At that time, work was scarce, because it
was the Fall season and construction work was slowing down. We had
no money for a doctor or emergency room visit. Kay remembered
Seldon Owens (who lived in our ward) was an M.D. and called him,
explaining his plight. Dr. Owens told him to come right over. He said
though he had no normal burn supplies on hand,
he knew how to 'make do' with what there was at
his house.
As he tended to Kay's severe burns, Dr. Owens
assured him that he would be all right. He used
ointment and toilet paper (which he told Kay is
one of the most sterile possible wrappings to use
also, toilet paper would not stick to the wounds,
ripping new skin off)and to be careful to wear

gloves to prevent contamination and not let the dressing get wet. Kay
obeyed instructions. The severe burns healed without further care,
without scars. Dr. Owens was pleased with the perfect healing result.
That fateful Hallowe'en night as Dr. Owens worked on the burns,
he distracted Kay's mind from his pain by telling him a story. Dr.
Owens had been severely handicapped by
learning disabilities in school. It was
difficult for him to learn to read. He was
physically clumsy. He struggled, but was
very determined. Through supreme sheer
effort, he graduated from high school
with good grades and went to college and
then on to medical school. He wondered why he had been so afflicted
and searched for answers.
He had been a successful practicing physician for a few years,
when he came across some startling news. Someone had discovered that
overly protective mothers in their drive to raise perfect, sanitary children
do not allow them to crawl around on the floor getting dirty. This
crawling is necessary for motor development.
Dr. Seldon Owens immediately began crawling on the floor at age
40. Sure enough, his learning disability disappeared. He became a
believer, and began spreading the word. He advised everyone to get
down on the floor and crawl and play with their children. His family
was happy. They all crawled and played with him on the floor. We thank

him for his mercy in taking care of Kay and for sharing his learning
solution.
So, early physical activity for a baby is guided instinct for nerve
pathway building and connecting. It is the foundation for all the
development which follows. The next step surfaced in an educational
review magazine article titled something like, "The Surprising Link
Between Drawing And Learning". Sarah and Aaron
had noticed old books and magazines being tossed into
the school dumpster. They rescued some books and the
discarded magazine and carried them home with joy.
Basically, the researchers at a prestigious school
found that scribbling and then drawing (progressing to
art and painting) lays the foundation for a child to
learn to read and write. They began remedial
scribbling, drawing and painting lessons with
struggling students which enabled them to quickly
'catch up' to grade level. I was so happy to find this
information. I wanted to try it out to see if it worked.

I approached one of the teachers at

school to present a drawing project for
the kids, to try out the idea. He agreed.
The hour was wildly successful. The
children were so 'hungry' for what I had
prepared, they settled down to business
immediately and produced wonderful drawings by quietly following
along the step by step from the drawings I had prepared with my
daughter's help. I was so happy to find it really worked!
Physical shape memory is essential in everything we do. Some
observant people have recognized that patterning shapes into both
hemispheres is critical for the development of
any great idea. The best creative efforts
involve cooperation between both brain
hemispheres.
Drawing shapes and imprinting them
through NON-BORING repetition is a great
education tool. Especially if it's fun, like
crawling on the floor with the kids.
These drawings are designed to be used by beginners of all ages!
I drew them mainly to
make my own children
happy so they would be
content to practice, and
keep their desire to learn
basics. They smiled as they
colored and drew. They

progressed quickly and went on to draw their own unique pictures in

their own unique styles.
All interesting,
beautiful pictures add
another dimension to our
learning processsheer
pleasure. Many times, an
adult's maturity in
grasping and
understanding books
written for adults is
equated with their ability
to make pictures in their
minds from descriptive
words--without benefit of
pictures to help it along.
Those who can are considered smart. Those who can't are assessed as
less than bright. I think it is not a correct assessment.
When I first showed my drawings and writings to my adult cousin
for critiquing and input (college grad), I was startled when she said,
"Where's the pictures?" as she looked at pages
that had no illustrations. She wanted to see
more pictures just as the children did. I
thought I'd done quite enough with what I
showed her. So, I'm still drawing, finishing
what I began long ago. I hope there are enough
pictures now to arouse interest in learning to

trace, imprint, color and draw. Stick

figures are a beginning effort that all
can do. All can step forward and put
meat on those bare-bone figures!
Doing so will make you happy, and
others too!
Pictures are such a great help in
communicating ideas. They improve
comprehension for what is said or read, boosting one's understanding of
the meaning and context of the words.
Drawing becomes a necessity in education
when viewed like this. Though stick figures
help, kids pay better attention when the 'art
work' is better. So do adults. So I say to one
and allif you are going to teach, LEARN to
draw!
I don't like it when someone gets up to a
blackboard and begins the lesson by apologizing for their stick figures.
Stick figures are fine if that's the best one can do. But, I don't want to
focus on an apology when I come to hear the wisdom in the lesson
they've worked hard preparing. An apology makes me and the class
focus on the teacher's drawing weakness, instead. Your best is always
good enough for the Lord. So your best is always good enough for me.
An unnecessary apology detracts from the lesson and the message you
are about to deliver! STOP IT! Besides which, in this
day and time there is plenty of free clip art to be had
on the internet. Visual cues should be prepared ahead
as well!

The best solution would be to learn to express your ideas by

learning to draw through shape imprinting and practicing. Obviously,
pictures are as important as the words coming out of one's mouth!
Children who can draw circles, lines,
angles and curves can readily form their
alphabet letters without a lot of frustration.
They have a good foundation IF a parent
has given them positive attention and early
training. I don't think there is a great IQ
difference between the gifted child and the
considered run-of-the mill child initially.
But, the gap appears when one child
gets early training and the other one does
not. One child gets help from an adult and the other does not.
After my school experience with my
first daughter, I never left my children's early
training to others. I have proven to my
satisfaction that the trained ones who get help
can sail off into the 'wild blue yonder'. Mine
did. They were always at the top, viewed as
exceptional readers. And the ones who don't
get parental help and training have problems,
stuck in 'arrested development' until they come to an understanding that
when they are adults they can love, train and take care of their own
stunted 'child within'. As one author wrote in an illiterate character's
words, "God dont make no dummies!" I consider it a tragedy that so
many have been made to feel like dummies. So, awaken! Become that

marvelously developed being God put you here on earth to become. He

will guide and direct your efforts and will always encourage you.
Learning to read can be joyful
and fulfilling for each child. They look
forward to that wonderful door of
learning opening for them.
Again, I feel the best basic tool
for education is to draw shapes--to do
shape programming. Drawing basic
shapes speeds up learning so that shape
outlines become useful automatic tools.
Recognizing them and reproducing
them at will accurately is facilitated by tracing. Then, imprinting by
repeating the movement over and over, but not to the point of boredom.
Just so long as repetition remains interesting to the one doing it, it is
good training.
All learning interconnects. Physical activities which will help with
circles are:
tracing around lids and other
circular objects
playing catch with balls, fruit
and Frisbees
playing circle games such as
flying Dutchman
twirling aroundalone and with
a partner
All circle movements give one a
3-dimensional feel. I was lucky to get

to have some dance training. Later, I was a dance teacher. I find that I
use the feel of dancing in all that I do. All the music I have written
comes from my remembrance of dancing when I still could leap and
twirl. I hear music and sense rhythm as I draw.
Brent Ball was a real stuffed ball, one of two given to my children
many years ago by my cousin, Nina
Packer. They loved them to pieces!
They played with them and I'm sure got
the 'circular' feel. Brent is my oldest
favorite son.
Every beneficial activity employs
shape recognition. An inventor has to
be able to reproduce shapes to develop
his ideas. Ice skaters, dancers and
gymnasts must know how the shapes of
their bodies look in space. An architect
works by seeing designs in his head and
transfers them to paper or into a computer.
We identify everything around us by their shapes. The method we
use to help program shapes into memory is called Line Drawing.
Line drawing is outlining, then drawing in the main lines. It helps
to handle objects and get three dimensional feel.
Train both hands. Leonardo da Vinci could work in two places on
a canvas at once, using each hand independently of the other. His father
gave him the best teachers and training at the time he lived. His genius
did not spring out of nothing--without attention or family involvement.
Neither will those of your children.

Mozart had a father who trained his gift early. His father had the
knowledge and ability, because he was a professional musician who also
wrote music. His father's circle of friends often visited and played
music in their home. Mozart was surrounded by musical culture as was
his talented sister.
If you have no paper or pencil handy and you wish to imprint a
mountain or tree shape, it is helpful to trace the outline with your pointer
finger or skim the outline with your eyes. Physical movement and
paying attention will help imprint that tree or mountain or whatever in
your brain.
I am going to put a 'plug' in for doodling here. Whenever I am just
sitting somewhere waiting, I usually pull out a notebook, envelope or old
receipt and start drawing graceful
vines, leaves, hearts, flowers or
mountainsor faces or numbers or the
alphabet. I recognize that eternal
progression is a reality. Idle moments
can always be used to improve and
imprint shapes. There is no time to be
wasted.

Quite often
when someone sees
me busy with a
pencil and paper,
they will ask me if
I'm an artist. I tell
them, "No, I'm just
doodling." I'm
always hoping they
will do the same
thing--hoping they
will get the idea that
they can draw if I
can, a non-artist. I
do not have to be a
designated 'artist' to
enjoy drawing. I do
not want to be
admired in awe by
others because I've
achieved 'artist'
status..I feel my
brain humming
happily because I am
continuing to program my brain, always with the intent of drawing a
design that is pleasing or improving my skills.
Rembrandt and other great artists discovered that everything we
see can be represented by curves and lines (circles, crescents, squares
and triangles) and combinations of these shapes into common figures.
Rembrandt also said that anyone who could draw a perfect circle
could be an artist. Few of us can draw perfect circles, but we can work
toward that goal by doodling and practicing. When I try to develop any
new talent (and I've discovered I've been blessed with manyjust like

all of you), God's inspiration comes to help me learn because I am doing

my best to improve. I can feel divine approval as my reward for
progressing. I search for help in learning basics from the many sources
now available. God loves all of us. He will do the same for you!
All learning interconnects. Physical
activities which will help imprint circles are:
Tracing around lids and other circle
objects
Playing catch with balls, fruit and
Frisbees
Playing ring-around-the-rosie
Dancing and spinning with a partner
And spinning around alone
We can draw better circles when we know just how it 'feels'.
One mother I conversed with about practicing shapes a few years
ago, started her baby out early. She had a four-year-old in 1991 who
could draw perfect circles. He loved to sit and draw two hours at a time.
She attributed his ability to practicing drawing shapes.
You and your children can learn to do the same thing. Just try.
Enjoy what you're doing!
It has been noted by psychologists that happy children draw happy
faces on the suns in their pictures. Children like happy EVERYTHING!
Happy mothers, happy fathers, happy teachers, happy sales clerks
happy faces on everything and everybody! When we were testing the
market a few years ago, it was wonderful to see toddlers grab the books
because of the happy smiles on the happy faces!

I still like happy faces too. I drew

my happy faces from memories of
smiles my parents, my teachers, my
children and babies at the grocery store
gave me. Babies fresh from heaven and
little ones in the grocery cart (not so far
from the angels) always seem to know
when an adult needs a smile. When I
needed a lift, they would connect with
my eyes and smile, letting me know
they remembered me from beforeand
life here on earth is still good. I have always smiled back and told their
mothers how cute they arebecause they arewhich makes the
mommies smile! We are all happier then.
This was originally a drawing of a moon. I just added sun rays and
a happy smile. Draw a sleeping moon. Then, a happy sun. Drawing is
a creative outlet that helps
calm one down. It is a
productive outlet,
inexpensive and available
at minimal expense.
I have an ancestor,
Isaac VanWagoner
Carling, who felt the need
to draw so badly that he
took every opportunity he
could to draw. His reward
for finishing his chores for
the day was to be allowed
to draw with charcoal
charred wood that was in
the fireplace, not bought
on the hearth. Paper was

an out-of-reach luxury for the pioneers. Aren't we lucky to live in

abundance?
Our brains do not perceive lines and shapes in any other direction
unless we have purposefully observed objects turned in different
directions . We should
observe interesting objects in
different positions and
directions, then draw them.
We can train our brains in
shape knowledge versatility
by drawing what we see in all
sizes and directions, and by
altering the shapes into
something different.

For example, draw this altered circle (teardrop )shape in all.

in all directions:

Next, draw a bunch of balloons using the tear drop shape, but more
rounded out.
Color one balloon yellow.

Color one blue.

Color one red.
Show that part of the blue balloon overlapping yellow makes green.
Show overlapping blue with red makes purple.
And, overlapping yellow with red makes orange.

Ovals are squished circles.

Tommy Tomato is an oval, a squished circle. Tommy is my
smiling, joking brother-in-law. Everyone lights up when he comes
around!

Other ovals are a watermelon, a tangerine, and eggs.

An oval is a comfortable object to draw,

because it does not require the precision
that a circle always does. The shape is
usually not perfect, which is easier to do.
Look around you and find others. Hold
them. Draw them.

Pointing out the oval

shapes in common food shapes
such as the potato makes it easier to reproduce a better oval shape with

extra details. Kay was from Idaho, so potatoes and everything from and
about Idaho were always a big thing at our house.

Edward Egg is
smaller at one
end. My
shapes are
named for
family
members and
other people I
have been
closely
attached to.
Edward was
the name of my
twin brother.
Growing up
with him, I saw
the expressions
on his face
every day.
In this
case, we had
just had a big
birthday party
when we
turned 8 years
old, with 32 kids attending. It was held out in the middle of the orchard,
where the orange trees were in full bloom. There was lots of room for
all the games and running kids. It was a wonderful childhood
experience that was not repeated. I can still feel a lingering feeling of
happiness!

My new stepmother really knew how to put on memorable parties.

She told us stories about life in Colonia Juarez, Mexico where she spent
her youth. Parties were a big part of community life and everyone used
their imaginations to make each one better than the last one.
She told us about a hobo party they'd had in Mexico. We were all
interested, so she helped plan a hobo party for my teen siblings complete
with tree trunks to sit on and a fire to roast hot dogs and marshmallows.
The kids attending the party in ratty old clothes talked about it for a long
time. I do not know why it took so many years to repeat the experience,
but as I related family memories I had growing up, it caught my family's
attention. They all wanted to experience the same thing. So, we finally
did recreate the hobo party theme
when my oldest daughter was a teen.
The invitations went out on pieces of
charred newspaper. Everyone brought
an empty tin can and camp kit. The
menu was simple--pork and beans,
roasted hot dogs and marshmallows.
Everyone dressed appropriately in
ratty old clothes.
Near the end of the party after
the games, someone started beating a
rhythm on their tin can. Soon,
everyone joined in on their cans also
and began singing, sitting around the
campfire. Time went by without
anyone noticing it was getting late.
finally, 'I've Been Working On the
Railroad' was suggested ending the
party perfectly. Everyone had fun. It
has been years. It is now time for my
grandchildren to experience a hobo

party. A hobo party always has a relaxed atmosphere where everyone

can have a good time!
Other oval shapes are:
An egg plant. Ellen
was the name of my
stepmother's wonderful
sister. She lived next
door to us and was so
kind to my oldest two.
She was called Aunt
Nellie, but my kids
thought her name was
Aunt Honey. They still
remember her fondly as
'Aunt Honey'. They
wish they could see her
again.
Nuts
My father
planted
pecan
trees.
They grew
and grew
until they
towered
over the
house. The
nuts were very good. But, the sap that dripped from the leaves onto the
cars all summer was a nuisance. It was too late to move them! Besides,

customers came year after year to buy the 'best' pecans locally produced
by my father.
A mango. Millie, newly married, was one of my mother's favorite
nieces. We recently found a letter from her to my mother expressing her
joy as a new bride. It is a treasure we will pass on to her grandson-after I find
it and put
it up for
my family
and
interested
relatives to
read. I
wish I had
the one my
mother
wrote to
her in
answer!

Then, there are the crescents

There are rainbow crescents everywhere.
Ronnie Rainbow. Ronnie was a cute little cousin who played with
my oldest children when they were very small.
They still remember and love him.

Of
course,
the moon
is always
my
favorite
crescent
shape.
The Man
In The
Moon is
gone
when the
moon
reaches
its'
crescent
stage. It
reminds
me of
rocking
chair
runners
and the
comforting feel of being held and rocked to sleep
by my mother as she kissed me, held me close and
sang a sweet lullabye.
Since there were two of us, my father took turns
holding us and singing to us. Both had beautiful
voices.

A banana is a fat
crescent. Ben is my
favorite middle son's
middle name. I often
wished I had
another name, an
alias I could use
when I needed to
escape .When I
married, I finally got
one. I made sure
my children all had
second names so
they could have a
change if they
wanted.

Draw the banana half peeled.

Then draw the peeling.

'Hands-on' experience makes

drawing anything much easier.
At first, I did not think I could draw a real banana until I finally tried it
out. It was much easier than I expected. Since that time, I had a group
of Girl Scouts take a walk and draw from Naturenone had tried
drawing. Their drawings were great! Later, I gathered the
neighborhood kids one day and had them sketch what they saw with
the same surprising results. It seems that all someone needs is for
someone else to show them they can go out and sketch something they
can be proud of right from the first. Again, sketch. Observing and trying
produces surprising results.

Carol Cucumber
Carol is a very popular
name among my relatives,
and my husband's relatives.
It is a lovely name, always
bringing to mind the joys of
Christmas.
Draw Carol. Then, draw a
real cucumber. You will
notice your ability to
observe and reproduce is
improving as you grow
courage to keep on trying.
When I learned to draw
vegetables, I felt a sense of
real accomplishment. My
ability to draw increased
rapidly because I was
working with very familiar
objects I handled every day.
I had tried for years to find
a way to make drawing
common sense to my mind.
Nothing 'clicked' until my
daughter showed me it was
all just shapes.
Oh. Is that it?--Something so simple that I could not grasp it? Yep!

Patty Peach

Patty
was a cute little cousin who had blond hair and big blue eyes that made
everyone want to pick her up and give her a big hug and kiss.
Sometimes she hid to get away from all the love and attention!
At this angle, the peach is a slightly squished circle
with a crescent added. The leaf is a long heart.

Heart Shapes
Harriett Heart. My Aunt
Harriett loved my mother and
took good care of her when she
had to stay in bed with cancer.
She would always tell me how
much she loved my mother
with tears in her eyes. She was
a gifted china painter. Her

flowers were very

beautiful and life-like.

Paul Pear. Paul is the name of one of my tall handsome brothers.

Paul is also my beloved son-in-law who just spent a hot afternoon
putting replacement shakes on my roof with two other family members.
And Paul was
my son's favorite
early playmate
who lived across
the street.
Apostle Paul is
still honored for
his magnificent
role in the Bible.

Saralee Strawberry and Stephen

Sarah liked to take Stephen for walks. He thought she was very
cool. He still thinks she is very cool, because she is! Stephen is my
favorite youngest son.

Heart Holly was a sweet girl who got along with everyone.
She played the piano beautifully.

Lee Leaf
Lee Webb was my handsome cousin, my oldest sister's age. I
remember him as a vibrant teenager, whose life was cut short in World
War II. I still feel the sadness the family all felt because he was so young
with life and its' prospects still ahead. I still picture him as running free,
having lots of fun with his family, friends and cousins

Leonardo da Vinci said that everything can be drawn from circles,

triangles and rectangles. As you doodle, practice straight lines and
angles in every direction.
Observe the rectangles, triangles and squares. Look at the shapes
of buildings, trees and fences. Feel angles. Feeling helps imprint
shapes.

Trudy Triangle
I went to school with Trudy. She tended to business and always
received good grades for her hard work.

Tessie Tree Tessie was a good older neighbor lady who told us
stories of gone-by days, She made the stories come alive so we
appreciated the pioneers and their triumphs over extreme hardships.

David Diamond I used to

ballroom dance with David. He
was graceful and light on his feet,
besides being tall, dark and
handsome!
Delwyn Door I went to school
with Delwyn. He always had a
smile on his face even when he did
not feel like smiling. He made all
want to smile back!

Peter Pentagon Peter was

the class clown. He just could
not squelch the impulse to turn
the solemn class atmosphere into
laughter. It got him into lots of
troublebut when the next
opportunity opened for a prank,
he took advantage of the
opportunity. One day, he was

just innocently sitting at his front desk.

The science teacher had his back to the
class as he wrote on the blackboard.
There was a loud disruptive noise.
Without checking to make sure who the
culprit was, the teacher angrily turned
and smacked Peter hard on the ear--the
one time he was totally innocent!

Harvey Hexagon Harvey was one

my mother's favorite brothers. It
was in the days of polygamy in the
colonies so there was a large group
of young people to have fun with.
We have a picture of them
together, laughing and dancing
along with .all the other friends
who lived near.

Orlando Octagon This

was one of my favorite uncles.
He was so low-key and pleasant
to all he met, that everyone
wanted to cooperate with him.
When he was sheriff, he never
used a gun to bring in wanted
men. He treated them as
worthwhile human beings, so
they gave themselves up
peacefully. Because he
respected them, they respected him.
My husband used him as a role model and treated the prisoners
with respect. Because he treated them with respect, they respected him
and never gave him any trouble. He had the same benign results as
Uncle Orlando. Kay felt prison reform was overdue. He felt what
needed to be done was to insist on respectful treatment for all, because
that is what worked for Uncle Orlando.
Because of Uncle Orlando's example, treating the prisoners with
respect was standard policy for Kay so they felt like valued members of
society. His respect for them gave those he dealt with restored hope.
They often thanked him for doing so. He told them he did not want to

see them back inFew he mentored came back and those who did
apologized profusely for disappointing him!
There is a connection between all we know and all we wish to
learn. For instance, when we learn to draw straight lines, this knowledge
will enable us to saw straighter, drive cars and tractors straighter and cut
bread straighter.
We can become proficient in forming printed alphabet letters and
numbers. We can round out figures in drawing and painting. Basic
Shape imprinting will improve our quality of life.
