Children are introduced to Mr. Vertical, Ms. Horizontal and Mr. Diagonal — three playful drawing buddies who transform simple line practice into an exciting adventure full of fun and creativity. What looks like simple tracing is secretly building critical pre-writing skills: hand control, coordination and confidence.
