There is provided to a tilt board (1, 51, 61, 101) comprising an activity surface (3) supported by a base (5). The base comprises a front wall (7) and a rear wall (9) that extends downwardly from the activity surface by a greater distance than the front wall. The activity surface (3) comprises an activity surface surround (15) defining an aperture (17) therein and a removable activity surface insert (19) dimensioned for reception in the aperture. A plurality of interchangeable activity surface inserts (19) may be provided. The activity surface inserts (19) are also tilt adjustable relative to the remainder of the tilt board. The tilt board (1, 51, 61, 101) is provided with a circumferential flange so that the tilt board may be inserted into an aperture of a larger work surface such as a table if desired. The tilt board can be used for a range of activities, can lie flat in a larger work surface if desired, and the tilt angle can be adjusted to several angles which is highly advantageous.

A tool for use with known tracing devices such as that sold originally by The Ohio Art Company under the trademark Etch-a-Sketch is described. The tool of the present invention includes (i) first and second overlays, each for cooperation respectively with first and second rotatable knobs and each including circumferentially arranged visual guide indicia on a top surface thereof; (ii) first and second visual guide indicia position indicators, each including visual guide positioning indicia on a top surface and wherein said guide positioning indicia cooperate with circumferentially arranged visual guide indicia to indicate rotational positions of first and second rotatable knobs; and (iii) at least one visually readable guide indicia position instruction set including a sequenced set of steps for rotation of said first and second rotatable knobs based on the cooperation of guide positioning indicia and circumferentially arranged visual guide indicia.
