This is generally called the tenth gift of the Kinder-garten. The slats are of wood, ten inches long and two-fifths of an inch wide. They are used for interlacinginto a great many forms. The child seldom tires of thebeautiful figures created by his active fancy and dexterousfingers. Slats of an inferior quality may be secured in bundlesof about three hundred, at ten cents per bundle. Thebest hardwood slats, in six different colors, cost abouttwenty-five cents per hundred. In assigning busy work with slats, have a number offorms drawn on the blackboard. It will be necessary toexplain the method of making the combinations for a fewtimes, then the child will discover for himself. The following sequence for beginners is a good one :— Take four slats in the left hand, thus :
